CALL FOR PRICE

The Rio is a thoughtfully designed two-story floor plan that lives comfortably and efficiently, offering flexible spaces that adapt to everyday life.

The first floor features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area that flows seamlessly for both daily living and entertaining. A walk-in pantry provides generous kitchen storage, while the true mudroom off the attached two-car garage adds everyday functionality buyers appreciate. Large windows bring in natural light, creating a bright and inviting main living space.

Upstairs, the layout truly shines with a spacious game room, a dedicated study ideal for working from home, and well-sized secondary bedrooms. The Primary Suite is carefully positioned for privacy and features a spacious bath and walk-in closet, creating a relaxing retreat. Excellent storage throughout the home ensures everything has its place, while the private, usable yard extends the living space outdoors.

Designed for buyers who value smart layouts, flexibility, and livability, The Rio offers a home that feels comfortable, functional, and easy to live in day after day.

"We are so grateful to have found Sandcastle Homes! They’ve made the home-buying process so much easier and more enjoyable than we could have imagined. They are responsive, respectful, and always put the customer first. We truly appreciate the speed and accuracy with which they’ve addressed any concerns we’ve brought up throughout the process and can’t wait to officially own our first home. Sandcastle has a team that clearly values one another as much as they do their customers, and you can feel a sense of community when working with them."
Carol Sandler
"Sandcastle did an amazing job with my house. They came through on everything they promised. Jose Salas, the construction manager, is very helpful even after we closed on the house. He goes above and beyond. Getting to meet the owner, Salomon, during the closing was a great experience as many other builders don’t do this. We love our house and the quality of it!!"
Enrique and Judith
"We just moved into our new home by Sandcastle. Since the beginning of the process the whole Sandcastle team paid great attention to our requests and responded rapidly. We were lucky to get in contract in time for us to choose colors, kitchen design, finishes and other and all our requests were reflected in our new house. At the end of the closing, the team always kept the same great attitude towards us and helped us with any question or request. We would say one of the greatest things about Sandcastle is that they really back up what they sell: best price, best service, best quality in town. We ended up extremely pleased with our new house."
Andres and Marcela
"I just moved into my new Sandcastle home and I think it’s a wonderful place to live. They have been very helpful, particularly Lynette and Steve. From the owner Mike Salomen down, it has been a truly positive experience. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to buy a new home that is built of high quality to consider this home builder."
