There is nothing like this community in the state of North Dakota!

Heritage Homes, North Dakota’s most acclaimed homebuilder, is once again setting the bar for residential living with their latest masterpiece-SunSet Valley. Situated in the heart of Horace, this carefully curated boutique community is a bold reimagination of what home, lifestyle, and neighborhood connection can look like.

Under the visionary leadership of President and CEO Tyrone Leslie and the expertise of Vice President of Operations Troy Mattern, Sunset Valley is the latest chapter in Heritage Homes’ 30-year legacy of excellence and customer-first craftsmanship.

A Vision Beyond the Ordinary

When Heritage Homes set out to create SunSet Valley, the goal was to totally reinvent what a development in the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo metro looked like. To do this, they drew inspiration from the many successful community style projects they have completed within their 30 years, and most recently The Ranch at The Wilds project in West Fargo. They have been able to envision a community that would blend adults thriving in their golden years with vibrant, family-friendly living.

“We wanted something not just slightly different, but truly 100% unique. A boutique development that would cater to our clientele like no other homebuilder in North Dakota ever has,” Leslie said.

The result? Two distinct yet harmoniously connected neighborhoods within 50 acres, each offering world-class amenities, exceptional design, and a lifestyle experience unrivaled in the region.

Designed With Connection in Mind

At SunSet Valley, Heritage Homes defies the mold of traditional developments. Instead of rigid grid patterns, SunSet Valley boasts meandering streets, custom setbacks, and artfully arranged homes that create a neighborhood bursting with charm and uniqueness.

“People don’t want to build a house—they want to build a home… That sense of belonging, that intimate exclusivity—that’s exactly what this community offers,” Mattern said.

Every detail of SunSet Valley encourages connection, relaxation, and a sense of place—from the lit walking paths to the private, residents-only amenities that no other community in the region can offer.
