TROON NORTH

resulting calm and peaceful atmosphere of the community. Living in the High Sonoran Desert also provides many recreational opportunities with nearby Pinnacle Peak, Troon North’s 4-acre community park and a 185-acre mountain preserve with winding multi-use trails.

Why do I love Troon North? I love it because it has something for everyone, whether it’s golf, tennis, dinner at the fantastic clubhouse, the beauty of the high desert or access to nearby shops and restaurants in Scottsdale. We really have it all.

Back in the mid 1990’s my husband Ron and I

would visit relatives and spend a lot of time golfing in the

Valley of the Sun. We immediately fell in love with the area as a result of playing both Troon North Championship courses. In 1999, we made the move to Arizona, bought a lot in Troon North’s master planned community, in 2000, and built our home.

The Tom Weiskopf designed course at Troon North has lush fairways meticulously maintained and the greens are like ice – all situated among the boulder outcroppings of north Scottsdale’s Sonoran Desert. We especially love the panoramic views of Pinnacle Peak, Troon Mountain, and the McDowell Mountain range. The elevation at Troon North also provides a great setting for night views of the valley below.

We are continually intrigued by the topography of the area and Troon North is attuned to keeping the landscaping indigenous to the desert. I enjoy the

Why I Love...


Combine the historical legacy of The Ritz-Carlton,

the forward vision of Google alum Ray Sidney and

the golf royalty represented by Jack Nicklaus and

the PGA Tour, and eyebrows raise at the prospect of

something extraordinary. Bring it all together under the

skilled stewardship and watchful eye of Southern Arizona

developer David Mehl and you’ve a got a project worthy of

global attention.

T h e I n s p I r aT I o n

“What we have here is something very real,” explained

Mehl, “It will fulfill that yearning for a romantic western

experience that’s in the mind’s eye of those who treasure

southwestern history and appreciate a pristine lush desert

stretching for miles and miles.”

For Mehl, who had previously developed Tucson’s legendary

La Paloma Resort, the dream began nearly 20 years ago when

he first acquired the property, then a remote, high-desert

paradise about a 30 minute drive north of Tucson (and 90

minutes from Phoenix) now known as Dove Mountain.

Today, Dove Mountain is a thriving resort destination

with a world-wide audience: The result of the collective due

diligence and forward thinking of Mehl, The Ritz-Carlton

(having deemed Dove Mountain a worthy enough venue to

unveil there, one of the first of its “new” Ritz-Carlton resort

hotels), Jack Nicklaus, who personally oversaw the design

It’s a powerful confluence of experience and opportunity, of iconic names, universally associated with excellence and achievement.

Championship, and Ray Sidney, one of the original employees

of Google, Inc, whose personal equity investment in the

property allows it the rare distinction of boasting a debt-free

balance sheet.

Whether a hotel guest or a prospective resident, upon

arrival at Dove Mountain, a 6200-acre sanctuary nestled high

in the Sonoran Desert, you

are likely to be overwhelmed

by the natural beauty of the

landscape and the sense of

history that prevails.

The delightful discovery

begins the moment you are

personally greeted at the

gated entry to the property.

You will not see staff in the

signature cobalt blue uniforms

and white gloves commonly

associated with The Ritz-

Carlton, but it is immediately

apparent that the service

culture of The Ritz-Carlton is

deeply imbibed here.

Whether checking into the award-winning and

luxurious hotel as a guest, or visiting your personal

residence, the experience is the same: total immersion in

a lifestyle that includes enjoyment of the expansive spa,

restaurants, fitness facilities, hiking trails, pools (including

a children’s pool and water slide), tennis and 27 holes of

championship golf.

For many guests, the delight soon transfers to the

prospect of private home ownership inside the gates:

“Owners here are mesmerized by the natural setting of

course, as well as the array of customizable homes they’ll

find in our offering; but it is that certainty of The Ritz-

Carlton experience, extended to our residents, that really sets

us apart. People get that…” explains Art Buck, Director of

Sales and Marketing. To illustrate, he points out that The

Ritz-Carlton Residents’ Concierge regularly does the grocery

shopping for many owners

prior to their arrival,

ensuring that the time

they have allocated to their

visit is devoted to their

enjoyment of the resort

and its environs. These

luxury residences range in

size from 1,700 to 5,400

square feet, and are crafted

with creativity, in sync

with the desires of

discriminating residents

who appreciate fine detail,

modern amenities and

creature comforts that

blend well with an active and vibrant lifestyle.

On well positioned lots, ranging from one quarter to

seven acres, each home is thoughtfully designed with open

floor plans and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living spaces.

Many are within walking distance of the hotel or the clubhouse,

and all are conveniently accessible by the myriad of hotel staff

services including room service, valets, a full-time concierge,

private chefs, landscaping crews and housekeepers.

These extra service amenities mean residents can relax

and unwind in their desert haven knowing that all of their

needs can be handled, not just by professionals, but by

professionals of The Ritz-Carlton.

o n T h e C o u r s e & B e y o n D

There is no dearth of active options for those who choose

to make The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton home. With

access to 27 holes of Jack Nicklaus Signature golf, guests and

residents enjoy regular play

as well as the pleasure of

hosting friends and family

on the course for a spirited

round or to enjoy the

annual Accenture Match

Play Championship, each

year featuring among the

strongest fields of

international players in

professional golf.

A 45,000-square-foot

clubhouse complex, plus

more than 25 miles of

hiking, biking and walking

trails on the property

provide plenty of outdoor

and fitness focused options. The preserves that surround the

property provide an additional expanse for outdoor and

nature pursuits.

While The Ritz-Carlton at Dove Mountain provides a

pristine environment in which to relax and enjoy desert living,

homeowners also relish the proximity to the fine restaurants,

shopping and cultural endeavors that Tucson provides. Easy

access to airports in both Phoenix and Tucson make traveling

and welcoming visitors as simple as the lifestyle.

B e a u T y B e y o n D C o M pa r e

With the picturesque Tortolita mountains as the

backdrop, and the Catalina mountains in the distance,

towering saguaros cast long shadows across rolling hills

as the Southwestern sun

warms the day.

“I have great respect for

this land and the people

who were here before us,”

explained Mehl. “From the

Hohokam Indians who

carved their stories into solid

rock, to the homesteaders

who helped preserve the

history through cowboy

poetry, they are an important

part of this project.”

To that end, those

priceless Indian petroglyphs,

carved in the 1400s and

ubiquitously present along

the hiking trails that emanate from the hotel lawns, are there

for generations to enjoy. And if you listen hard enough, you’ll

catch some of that poetry every now and then, a lyrical

reminder of the time when this storied landscape was home

only to cattle and hard-working cowboys.

DESERT MOUNTAIN

Center, the Sonoran Tennis & Fitness Center, and the miles of walking and hiking trails also contribute to the fabulous feel that Desert Mountain provides. Options to stay fit and healthy abound here. Desert Mountain does not just rest on its laurels – it continues to grow and evolve, which helps to keep it fresh and forward thinking.

I feel blessed to be able to call Desert Mountain my home; the same community that has been my base of operations during the 20-year span of my real estate career in Arizona. From my early days with Exclusive Properties, where I was ranked as the Top Residential Realtor in the Valley by Arizona Business Magazine; to my years with Desert Mountain Real Estate; and now with Prudential Arizona Properties, Desert Mountain has always been at the heart of everything I do.

I am excited about my team’s recent move to the Luxury Homes Division of Prudential Arizona Properties – ranked among the top 10 real estate companies in the nation. Prudential brings a wealth of opportunities and

worldwide presence to our business in Desert Mountain. I believe that our alliance with Prudential will be the basis for a positive experience for all of our clients.

Chad and I moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Desert Mountain 20 years ago. At first, we owned a lot, lived off property and were members of the club. By 1996 we

moved “on campus” and have loved every minute of it. The friends and relationships we have as a result of living here are wonderful. Whether they have developed through golf, the neighborhood, the Fitness Center, travel, or from the wonderful clients I have had the opportunity to work with, those friendships are the best of our lives.

Desert Mountain is a very special place and we feel that every time we drive through the gates. There is a serenity and welcoming atmosphere here that is very unique to this place. Part of that is the beauty of the surrounding Sonoran Desert and the vistas that abound; and part of it is the supportive environment that the club and the community offer; but mostly it is the diverse and engaging people that live & work here.

n a home search in the Phoenix/Scottsdalearea in 1997, we heard good things aboutTroon Village and decided to check it out.On the drive up Happy Valley Road towards

Troon we could already see this place was special.We fell in love with the elevation and exceptional viewsin all directions including the McDowell Mountains,Pinnacle Peak and Troon Mountain.

We appreciated the choice of housing options fromcondominiums to magnificent estate homes. Best ofall, the home sites offer plenty of natural open spaceto enjoy the stunning pristine beauty of the SonoranDesert. The combination of value and abundant naturalbeauty that Troon offers just can’t be beat.

The heart of the community is Troon Country Club.Membership is optional, but if you decide to join – you’llfind it’s a great option. The Club is currently managedby Troon Golf and recently celebrated its 25-year anniversary. Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish designedthe Championship course reminiscent of the honored

links in Scotland. In addition, there is a 50,000 sq. ft.Frank Lloyd Wright – inspired clubhouse with clubevents including gourmet wine dinners, hiking tripsand theater nights, plus much more. You’ll find themembers are the friendliest in town. We find it’s a greatclub to come home to.

We enjoy the benefit of darker skies for stargazing,yet we’re only minutes away from great amenities.Pinnacle Peak Park, where we serve on the Board forFriends of Pinnacle Peak, is at your doorstep for an invigorating and therapeutic hike. So many restaurantssuch as Greasewood Flats, Four Seasons, Pinnacle Grille,Sassi and Mastro’s are close by for dining, in additionto great shopping.

Moose. That’s right. Moose. It seems the

gangly creatures that make their home

in these Idaho parts like the salt

deposits left on the flagsticks from golfer’s hands.

Such quirky challenges combined with a

compelling site in the dramatic foothills of the

Grand Tetons make for what golf course architect

David McLay Kidd called his “greatest creative

opportunity” and “quite possibly a bigger

achievement than my course at Bandon Dunes.”

This is Huntsman Springs. In Driggs, Idaho.

International businessman and philanthropist

Jon Huntsman, Sr saw a sleeping opportunity in

this nature-rich Idaho community just over the

pass from tony Jackson Hole, WY.

He and his family began buying property. In

time, he gathered a team of industry professionals,

paired them with local know-how, and in an era

when little such development was underway, an

unmatched, luxury mountain retreat was born.

The senior Huntsman and his son David

chose to work with architect Kidd because they

were aware of his accomplishment in Oregon

and believed his unconventional style would be

a good match for the job ahead. They pledged

the considerable resources he would require and

the Scotsman went to work.

The result is an award-winning course that

has garnered international attention and

admiration for its jaw-dropping views, expansive,

undulating greens, sprawling fairways and the

creative use of wetlands.

Each night the flagsticks must be laid down on the greens. Wind, you might surmise? And you would be wrong.

HUNTSMAN SPRINGS

M O U N T A I N M A G I C

By Lynn O’Rourke Hayes


Most recently, the vision and hard work was acknowledged

with an impressive nod from Golfweek. Huntsman Springs

now ranks number three in the country on the 2014 list of

Best Residential Golf Courses.

FAMIly MATTers

The elder Huntsman returned to his roots to create yet

another in a long list of projects that bears his family name.

He grew up poor in a small town about 100 miles southwest

of where members now find the first tee, learning to fish and

hunt to help put food on the family table.

Today, this self-made billionaire and four-time cancer

survivor, his wife Karen and family, view this project as far

more than a luxury golf mecca. It provides yet another pathway

to channel resources into a focused effort to cure cancer.

All profits from Huntsman Springs are funneled into

cancer research, supporting the efforts of the Salt Lake City-

based Huntsman Cancer Institute, one of the world’s leading

research and treatment facilities.

The 500-acre sanctuary also eliminates any quandary

over where the expansive Huntsman family will gather.

After raising nine children and welcoming more than 56

grandchildren, the pair believes this landscape provides the

ideal setting for their family and other harried clans needing

to escape the pressures of everyday life.

In addition to world-class fly-fishing, the Teton Valley is a

nature lover’s paradise. Hiking and biking trails abound and

skiing, sleigh rides and snowmobile adventures are plentiful

in the powder-rich mountain community. Nordic skiing

and ice-skating will be available on site this winter and an

expansive wellness center will soon open its doors.

FINdING HOMe

Those who choose to call Huntsman Springs home,

will find a bounty of well-crafted options, as compelling as

the golf course that serves as the community cornerstone.

Turnkey Mountain Lodge and Park homes, with their

extensive use of custom finishes, natural materials and

creative use of space, are tucked into a protected landscape,

crisscrossed by fairways and walking trails and dotted with

parks and trout ponds. Custom home and commercial sites

are also available.

For more information about Huntsman Springs visit

HuntsmanSprings.com, or call 208-354-9660.

Both Jon and Karen Huntsman grew up with an appreciation for the natural world and are committed to sharing the magic of this mountain landscape with the next generations.

Always a visionary, Huntsman’s view remains: “It’s too beautiful an area, with too great a view of the mountains and too lovely a place for families, not to grow.”

estate is my passion so the two paired together

are heaven for me.

What’s new with Lisa Wadey? Just recently I

started the Lisa Wadey Elite Group, comprised of

a team of professionals who all share a common

goal; to provide the utmost professionalism,

integrity and excellent service that all of our

clients are accustomed to receiving. I have two

highly reputable and experienced Realtors coming

on board as well as an experienced Marketing

Director and Contract Specialist. Our team gives

presence and exposure, second to none, when

representing our client’s homes. We have a

robust social media presence and have just hired

one of the top Real Estate SEO’s (search engine

optimization) to get our clients the maximum

exposure for their properties.

Why should a home seller care if their

Realtor uses Real Estate SEO to sell their

property? Simple; according to the National

Association of Realtors over 88% of home buyers

used the Internet to find their new home. If you

want to get your property sold quickly, you need

to make certain your agent has a qualified Real

Estate SEO on their team and Lisa Wadey Elite

Group has one of the best.

What are some of the things that are important

when selecting a Realtor? When selecting a

real estate agent in Scottsdale, North Scottsdale,

or Paradise Valley, strong knowledge of the

community, strong negotiation skills, and a

commitment to providing excellent service are all

crucial elements. I follow three guiding principles:

commitment, knowledge, and integrity and as such

over ninety percent of my business is referrals.

My clients become lifelong friends.

As a Realtor, do you have a specialty or forté?

With an international clientele, my forté includes

listing and buyer’s representation for estates and

land, as well as discriminating private properties

and golf communities. My real estate business

is integrated with philanthropy, which supports

numerous non-profit organizations such as

Childhelp USA, Scottsdale Healthcare, and

The First Tee.

What is your background and knowledge as

far as golf properties? I have an extensive

background in golf and golf course properties.

I am an avid golfer myself and grew up on the

golf course. My father was a golf professional for

over 42 years and I happen to be married to a golf

professional as well. Golf is in my blood and real

TerravitaW H Y W E C H O S E

After retiring in Massachusetts we were excited to try a

new life in Arizona. Having only spent a few days there

before, we were taking a big leap of faith. We knew we

wanted to live in North Scottsdale to enjoy the high Sonoran

desert landscape, keep the traffic to a minimum, but retain all

the amenities of great restaurants and shopping nearby. We

knew we wanted a secured gated community that had a lot to

offer — such as social and physical activities, a nice clubhouse

with a great restaurant,

parties and events, and

outside areas for

walking, hiking and

biking. Once we visited

Terravita, we knew it

was for us. Since taking

the big leap, we couldn’t

be more pleased.

The clubhouse is

beautiful with spectacular

sunsets and a diverse

casual dining experience.

There are sidewalks

everywhere — and as a

bonus, there are 7 miles

of nature walking paths

throughout the area.

The award winning

private golf course was a

big enticement. At first

we thought we’d explore

all the golf courses in the area rather than settle on just one.

But after we met all the fun people and learned about all the

great social activities of the Terravita Golf Club, we decided to

jump on board and haven’t looked back.

n 2006, my husband, Gary Ireton, had just retired for asecond time. He had a lot of time on his hands, so Isuggested we look at Mirabel. The rest, as they say,is history. We were very impressed by the stunning

Tom Fazio designed golf course, the club’s exceptionaldining experience and the active lifestyle that Mirabelpromotes with its state of theart fitness center, premier tennis facilities and spa services.But what drew us to the clubwas its intimacy and thewarmth of the members, whomade us feel so welcome.

Located in North Scottsdale, Mirabel is situatedon more than 700 acres of theSonoran Desert at an elevationof 3,000 feet. There are 348home sites with a choice ofhomes ranging in size from3000 to 11,000 square feet.

We enjoy a milder year-round Arizona climate atMirabel with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and city lights. The dramaticsunsets and star-filled night skies are a hallmark ofthis beautiful environment.

At Mirabel’s center is the 35,000 square foot, FrankLloyd Wright inspired, Desert Lodge Clubhouse, whichcould rival any five star resort or private club in terms ofambiance, activities, personalized service and fine dining.Members can enjoy dining indoors in the Grill or DiningRoom or outdoors on the fire-lit patios. Since fitness is a high priority with members, there is a very popular,comprehensive fitness facility, which was recently expanded to accommodate even more programs, classes and personal training. In addition, the Clubhouse offers a full service medi-spa and salon and a resort-size poolwith private cabanas. The championship-caliber tennisgarden, features four Har-Tru clay courts and an on-stafftennis professional offering private and group instruction.

Mirabel is probably best known for the exceptionalquality of its highly acclaimed golf course, voted “BestPrivate Club in Arizona” in 2013 by the Arizona GolfAssociation and recognized by Golfweek, GOLF Magazineand the Arizona Republic as among the nation’s bestprivate golf courses. The course’s classic game strategy,thrilling shot-making opportunities and walkabilitygive it timeless appeal. And it is one of the few privateclubs that allows private golf carts.

The outstanding amenities, friendly staff and clubintimacy, make Mirabel a very welcoming community.

community. It is always a first class experience when they invite me to play golf or have dinner with them at the club. The Silverleaf staff is outstanding at making any guest feel special. Whether it’s the Tom Weiskopf designed golf course, the relaxing spa with every amenity, a wonderful lunch at the charming Stone House, socializing at the award-winning clubhouse or a hike with fabulous views of the McDowell Mountains, Silverleaf has it all, in the best possible location.

My absolute product knowledge sets me apart from other Realtors. Out-of-state clients need someone who literally knows the terrain and I am inherently familiar with Silverleaf. Why do I love it? I was there at the start and it’s become a very large part of what I do as a Realtor. I feel blessed and very fortunate to sell in this community.

s a proud Arizona native and an Arizona State and Notre Dame graduate, it has been

an honor to see Silverleaf grow into one of our finest private communities. I started

my relationship with Silverleaf working as a Senior Financial Analyst in the developer’s corporate offices. Starting from the planning stages, it was incredible to see the vision and attention to detail translate into what is now a world class community.

My experiences with Silverleaf inspired my passion for high-end real estate, culminating in a switch from finance and accounting to sales. As part of the Silverleaf sales team, I helped contribute to over $200 million in home and homesite sales.

I make it my mission to give each client my total focus while my in-depth knowledge and understanding of the financial side of any transaction allows me to ensure that their monetary needs are well-served.

My relationship with the customer does not end with the real estate transaction. I have developed friendships with many of my clients who are Silverleaf members and I enjoy spending time with them in their
