Jasper

Jasper is a 1,200-acre clean-energy master-planned community at the base of Glassford Hill in Prescott Valley, Arizona, envisioned by Jasper Eco Dev (JED) on land ranched by the Wilkinson family for nearly a century. The name honors Jasper "Jay" Newton Wilkinson III, and the development philosophy emphasizes preserving open space, natural landscapes, and the surrounding high-desert heritage — you'll find granite outcroppings, walking and biking trails winding through the property, and direct access to hiking at the remains of a 12-million-year-old extinct volcano (Glassford Hill) and nearby Granite Dells. Jasper is designed as an age-targeted (not deed-restricted) community that draws a strong mix of active adults, retirees, and anyone seeking a sustainable, healthy-living lifestyle. More than 3,000 homes are planned across multiple neighborhoods and phases (Jasper 3B, 5, 6, 7, 7B, 8, 9, and more), with roughly 400+ homes already completed since construction began in 2017. Home builders are a curated group of Arizona-based sustainability-focused builders: Mandalay Homes (iON energy packages, solar and battery storage options, HERS 0 available), Capstone Homes (zero-net-energy homes, modern and traditional elevations), and Ēcco Homes (newer phases Jasper 7/7B/8/9 with Ecco's lowest-priced plans in the community). Floor plans range roughly 1,281 to 3,760 square feet, with two to five bedrooms, two to 4.5 baths, and attached three- to four-car garages — plus optional RV garages on select lots. Architecture blends farmhouse, contemporary, and modern prairie elevations, and virtually every home is built with solar-ready systems, low-flow fixtures, and high-performance envelopes. The social heart of the community is J Club, a 10,000-square-foot private membership clubhouse operated as Prescott Valley's premier private club. J Club includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, movement studio, 3-lane lap pool, a lounge/play pool, hot tub, five pickleball courts, tennis courts, bocce courts, fire pits, great lawn, picnic area, dog park, and beautifully landscaped trails. Dining is anchored by the Bar + Grill (American comfort food, local beers on tap, happy hour, outdoor patio with Prescott Valley views) and a café operated by Superb Food Company. J Club is open to Jasper residents and — more recently — to the public via day passes and 1/3/6-month memberships. Some neighborhoods (e.g., Jasper 8) include full J Club membership in the HOA; others treat it as an opt-in. Social life is active: 20+ resident-led clubs and interest groups host everything from water aerobics and poker to painting classes and pickleball leagues. High-speed fiber internet is part of the community HOA package, a meaningful perk for remote workers and retirees. HOA fees vary significantly by neighborhood and tier ($13 to roughly $322/month), reflecting different included amenities and services across phases. A separate 240-unit built-to-rent neighborhood, The Flats at Jasper, operates within the master plan as an apartment-style community — distinct from the for-sale homes. Location is a major selling point. Jasper sits just 10 miles from historic downtown Prescott ("the mile-high city"), with its saloons, galleries, boutiques, and Whiskey Row; and roughly 95 miles north of Phoenix. Prescott Valley itself offers Harkins Theatre, Findlay Toyota Center (concerts and minor-league hockey), and a growing restaurant and retail scene. Outdoor access is exceptional — Watson Lake, Fain Park, Pronghorn Park, the Iron King Trail, Glassford Summit Trail, and multiple golf courses (Prescott Golf Club, StoneRidge, Quailwood Greens) are all close by. For buyers who love mountain-town living with four mild seasons, clean energy homes, and a legitimate resort clubhouse, Jasper is one of the most distinctive newer communities in Northern Arizona.
