20 years young and counting

The vision for SunRiver St.George began when some of Las Vegas stockbroker Darcy Stewart’s clients invited him to a play at Sun City Nevada. He noticed the people at Sun City were having fun and actually enjoying retirement. “There was a stark difference between how happy Sun City residents were compared to other retirees.”

Seeing happy retired seniors sparked in Stewart a dream of an active adult golf course community his father would enjoy living in. Similar to what he had seen in Sun City but better, and even more alive. Instead of putting his community in a metropolitan area of millions as the Del Webb model did, he envisioned placing it in a rural setting without the problems inherent in big cities. He envisioned putting his development in a small city, with all the amenities residents would want within reach and no traffic congestion. With his vision, and 690 acres of inaccessible dusty desert just south of Bloomington, SunRiver St. George was born.
