Reata Ranch Homes For Sale

Reata Ranch is the latest plan for the 220-acre site southeast of Dynamite Boulevard and 128th Street. The developer recently announced he want to develop a modern version of the kind of a dude ranch similar to Rancho Vista Bonita that used to be near Pinnacle Peak and Pima roads. The Reata Ranch concept would blend ritzy and rustic in a no-roughing-it style. The developer describes it as "glamping, " a mash-up of "glamour camping. "

Reata Ranch borders state trust land along 136th Street that the city wants to acquire in December 2011 for the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. It's in the city's Dynamite Foothills Character Area that calls for preserving the rural character with open space, minimal development impact, low building heights and no street lights to compete with starry skies.

The guest ranch would include hiking and equestrian trails linking to the nearby preserve and McDowell Mountain Regional Park. Preliminary plans include a wildlife release center where injured animals and raptors could be released after they have been rehabilitated.

The property was to be called The Overlook at the Golf Club Scottsdale. Plans include 117 homesites with a 7,800 sf community center on 2.4 acres. Each lot will have views of Fraesfield Mountain, Granite Mountain, Troon Mountain, Pinnacle Peak, and the McDowell Mountains.

Call Lisa and Matt for current information at 480 390-0445.
