Agritopia Homes For Sale in Gilbert, Arizona

 

agritopia_homes
Agritopia is a charming community like no other in Gilbert, Arizona. It combines modern homes and old fashion farm house feel! Cozy and inviting neighborhoods which provides homeowners all the city conveniences.  Agritopia is built around a working urban farm, embracing the regions rich agricultural heritage. Homes for sale in Agritopia are storybook-like with colorful exterior siding, meticulous landscaping and cozy bungalows tucked in the back. Here, homeowners enjoy the feel of a close knit small town, but are just minutes away from the city, with metro Phoenix just 30 miles northwest, via US-60 and Loop 101.

 

The Agritopia subdivision was all part of the master plan when builder Scott Homes broke ground in 2001 and developed the land for urban living. The original home that now houses Joe's Farm Grill is the same house with the Johnston's resided and raised their family. The dining room is the former family room with its fireplace. The kitchen is where all of the bedrooms were located. The home’s kitchen and dining room were taken out to create the breezeway. The resulting butterfly roof and open breezeway make for an airy patio that offers shade and excellent views.

In the planning of Agritopia, it was always envisioned that a restaurant coupled to the urban farm would be a major focal point for the project.

Agritopia is a fairly new to Gilbert, a community that consists of housing, 12 acres of permanent urban farm, a school, parks (see Cosmo Dog Park) and of course the charming Joe's Farm Grill and The Coffee Shop.  All of these amenities are within walking distance of one another.

It was also intended, from the start, that all of the homestead buildings should be kept and remodeled and that the mature trees must be preserved. This helped guide their redevelopment of the Johnston home into Joe’s Farm Grill.  They take pride in the fact they strive for use of all organic products. You see the bigger picture is that they use the closest 12 acres for production of crops to use for the restaurant and coffee shop. They grow a broad range of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Leaf crops and tomato crops.

The master community plan that centers around it's agricultural roots is definitely a hidden jewel as is the surrounding community within walking distance or scooter ride as was the case when I visited with another guest.

Phoenix House Fire Takes Childs Life

It's a sad day when you have to listen to the loss of a child and have her big sister fighting for her life! It often amazes me when I hear of such tragedy for a family and my heart goes out to them!

As a mother of three grown children, the worse nightmare would be to bury a child before I leave this earth! I pray that is not something I will ever have to do!

Could it have been avoided?

This story touched me, there is no question! The biggest heartache is the one lingering question of, "could it have been avoided?" I'm not sure of the entire circumstances and the story is still unfolding but from the reports and news, the smoke detector was in the closet! Why on earth would anyone gamble with some ones life, these children's lives! It truly breaks my heart!

Are the detectors in the right places?

As a home owner, or perhaps a landlord I would think you would do whatever you can within your power to make sure your smoke detectors are operating and routinely checked. If your home is perhaps not to current building code, find the options to protect those you love or those you might be legally responsible for!

Take a few minutes to fire proof your homes, isn't a child's life worth it? Isn't your life worth it? I hope and pray this family can recover from their pain and suffering and somehow overcome their losses! In the meantime, may we all learn from such sadness and protect ourselves and those we love. Especially during the holiday season when we string our homes up with lights and decorations!

Hire a professional to inspect your home

Ben Schern, an AZ Home Inspector with Target Building Inspections LLC in Gilbert, AZ says, "There are three basic types of residential smoke detectors, all with different means for detecting smoke and fire, different types of fires they detect best, and different replacement reasons & needs."

A great post shared by Ben Schern, an Arizona Licensed Home Inspector shares ways we can protect our homes from fire and gives us great tips to protect our homes and family.

May you and yours be safe and blessed through this holiday season!
