It’s a circle: in being good to the land we’re being good to ourselves. Three Canyons is a place where this paradigm is alive and well. Simply by living here, people contribute to the well-being of the local ecosystem and community. Three Canyons is a new model built with respect for the Southwest’s sensitive ecosystem and people’s growing desire for living well by living one’s deepest values every day. Three Canyons was created for forward-thinking people who want to see this beautiful, vital place become even more spectacular. You’ll wake to choruses of birdsong and walk through oak-dotted grasslands, all the while creating a richer, greener legacy for your children.

Because the founders have partnered with the people of Patagonia, the entire community will prosper ecologically and culturally. Patagonia attracts remarkable people drawn by the natural abundance and beauty of this small town. A vibrant mix, including artists, naturalists, ranchers, teachers, trades-people, entrepreneurs, permaculturalists, and health practitioners call Patagonia home. This small town of 1,000 plus offers up The New York Times, fair trade java, local theatre, a Montessori school, and one of the world’s foremost raw food retreats.

In addition to the founders themselves—Denny Hubbell and David Parsons of Conservation Properties—Three Canyons has brought together a core of talented people to guide the project toward success: The Sonoran Institute; the community planning group, CommunityByDesign; ecological consultants, Regenesis Group; place-based communications agency, WestWordVision; and key investor, National Bank of Arizona.
