Saddlewood offers three floor plan options. The one- and two-story homes include 2,554 to 3,191 square feet of living space, three to five bedrooms, up to three-and-one-half baths and two- to three-car garages.

The residences at Saddlewood offer style and sustainability packaged with innovative design on spacious homesites. Buyers can expect well-appointed gourmet kitchens with energy-efficient appliances, spa-like master baths with soaking tubs and showers, and California Rooms with optional fireplaces. Other room options include home offices, dining room, lofts and breakfast nooks.

Just two homes remain for sale at Skyridge, the luxury residences collection within the same gated community of Joshua Ranch. Set high in the hills with sweeping views of the beautiful Antelope Valley, buyers can choose from two floor plans, ranging from approximately 3,566 to 4,424 square feet and including four to five bedrooms and up to four-and-a-half baths. Inside, home offices, downstairs bedroom suites, decks and butler’s pantries are just some of the desirable details. Generous lot sizes ensure plenty of outdoor space, allowing buyers to create their own personal resort with a swimming pool, spa or putting green along with room to store an RV or a boat. The coveted outdoor California room, with an optional fireplace, is a feature in every home at Skyridge.

“With abundant space offering versatile lofts, flex spaces and additional bedrooms including downstairs suites, homes at both Skyridge and Saddlewood are ideal for growing families, multi-generational households, and really everyone in between,” said Natasha Zabaneh, President of City Ventures. “Our buyers are able to easily create those spaces that fit their unique needs, whether it’s a craft room, office, nursery, fitness room or something else.”

Prices for these two remaining homes at Skyridge start from $869,990, with generous sales incentives available for buyers who are eager to enjoy their new homes in time for summer. In addition, City Ventures continues to offer appreciation gifts for military and civil Hometown Heroes, while current owners of its homes can benefit from its referral and repeat buyer programs. For buyers already working with a real estate agent, City Ventures recognizes the importance of the brokerage community by offering sales commissions as long as agents accompany their clients on their first visit to the sales office and model complex.

According to an April survey by the National Association of Home Builders, 60% of builders reported that their suppliers have already increased or announced increases of material prices averaging 6.3% due to tariffs and policy uncertainty, adding an estimated $10,900 to the average home. For homes larger than the national average of about 2,500 square feet, the additional costs would likely be higher.

“This is a limited opportunity to live in such exceptionally beautiful and spacious homes in the Palmdale hills, which are close enough to shopping and entertainment options and employment centers but also provide privacy and sanctuary,” said Zabaneh. “With very low levels of supply for existing single-family homes in Palmdale, now could be a great time to avoid bidding wars for a resale home and live in a truly one-of-a-kind place before surging costs for imported goods used in construction could lead to higher prices for new homes.”

Be sure to join in the grand celebrations and tour the brand new model homes at Saddlewood this weekend, on Saturday July 19, 2025 from 11 am to 5pm. Saddlewood is located at 39419 Saddle Dr., Palmdale CA 93551. Interested buyers for Saddlewood at Joshua Ranch, can join the interest list on the website now at saddlewoodjoshuaranch.com.
