The Ocotillo home is at the very top of the mountain and is an Eaglepointe home, Plan 4, the largest in Sky Ranch, while the “still for sale”, Mariposa home is a Stoneridge, Plan 4 home. Both are the largest homes in their respective home levels in Sky Ranch, yet I would say that the Stoneridge Plan 4, from what I hear, was one of the most popular plans and it is the only one in Sky Ranch that has a casita.
The Eaglepointe homes are on the largest lots up to around 20,000 sq. ft., while the Stoneridge home lots are around 10,000 sq. ft.

the point in bringing up the comparison is the two are not comparisons. it appears Lennar built these two developments with the idea that Eaglepointe would be the more luxury class vs Stoneridge a more pedestrian version.
Ocotillo and Mariposa actually both sold in late 2008. Assuming both buyers got the best deal they could at the time, it is clear Ocotillo had multiple factors that would allow it to command over $100k compared to Mariposa.
Remember the reason why Ocotillo had so much demand was because the seller took a loss in all of the interior upgrades, landscaping, and commission.
The 2 remaining new homes in Mariposa’s development is currently asking in the mid 600k. I would not be surprised if Lennar just give it away at 600k to close it up and wash their hands of it.
I say mid 600k to low 700k would be the final sale price for Mariposa.
