The combined facility features leading-edge research laboratories and a state-of-the-art hospital treating cancer patients. The recently announced $100 million expansion will double the laboratory space and create the Primary Children’s and Families’ Cancer Research Center, which will focus exclusively on inherited and childhood cancers. Huntsman, a three-time cancer survivor, is dedicated to finding a cure for the disease that took his mother, father, and stepmother.

Jon tries to visit patients at the Institute every week to support them in their struggles. He comes away from each visit

Quick Facts:

Chey Castro I

f there is one word used to describe Chey Castro, it is hard-working. Add to that descriptor, trustworthy, reliable, ethical, and positive, and you have the characteristics most people are looking for in a Realtor. Or for that matter a business partner or friend!

Castro’s skills and attributes combine to create a hearty recipe for success in the real estate business. From his early days as a college student, the young Phoenix native has stayed late, gone the extra mile, over-delivered and maintained a positive attitude, even when the road was dotted with detours.

“I have always had a strong work ethic and been motivated to do something I love,” explained Castro. “So when I interviewed with DMB Associates and heard the magic words golf, finance and luxury real estate, I knew it was a path I wanted to follow.”

His first experience with the iconic Real Estate Development Company was as an intern while pursuing his undergraduate degree in Finance at ASU. (He graduated with a 4.0) Urged by the DMB executives he admired to gain more experience, Castro enrolled in the Masters program at the University of Notre Dame, graduated and joined a Big 4 accounting firm where he once again had the chance to prove his mettle.

“There I learned to work even harder, meet stringent deadlines and burrow into the important detail,” explained Castro.

In time, he took his newly enhanced experience and knowledge back to DMB where he served as a Senior Financial Analyst. With a keen understanding of the business in Real Estate Development, he surprised many when he made the bold

decision, particularly given the rocky economic landscape, to trade a steady corporate job for the sales side of the business.

“I had to restart my career at the bottom as a Sales Assistant at the Silverleaf Sales Center and plenty of people thought I was crazy,” laughs Castro. “But I figure I got an MBA in sales by learning how to survive when the chips were down from the determined pros in a top luxury sales office.”

Today, as a successful Sales Associate with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, Castro is able to put his hard-earned knowledge to work for the most discriminating of luxury buyers and sellers in a complex marketplace.

“I am able to offer my clients the benefit of my accounting and finance background as well as what I understand after studying the market and inventory during good times and bad.”

“There is no substitute for product knowledge and outstanding customer service,” offered Castro. “My clients know they can count on me to be there for them day or night, no matter the question or concern. And if I am able to deliver on my promises to them, I know they will feel not only comfortable, but enthusiastic about referring me to their friends and family.

“In the end, this business is about making people’s dreams come true,” he added. “And if I can be a part of that, I am happy.”

Why I Love ...

TROON NORTH

< By Katie Dabe of Prudential Arizona Properties

B

ack 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

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.

Why We Love ...

DESERT HIGHLANDS

A

s Arizona natives who grew up in Scottsdale, we evaluated all of the private communities in the area and felt that Desert Highlands had the best mix of amenities, ambiance and location. After moving here we instantly felt a real sense of community where people truly care about each other. That has not changed in the 15 years we have lived here and our six-year-old daughter feels right at home too.

In terms of amenities, there is something for everyone. The centerpiece is the beautiful Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, which has multiple tees at each hole that make it as easy or as challenging as you want. There’s also one of the country’s best tennis centers—with 13 courts and three different playing surfaces—a fitness center that looks out over the Valley, wine clubs, card games and even an 18-hole putting course. We enjoy taking our dog for strolls along the walking paths throughout the community or having a

| FI N EST GOL F PRO PE RT Y

casual barbecue at the tennis center while our daughter takes a lesson. All of the facilities are kept in pristine condition and the professional staff always greets you with a smile and knows your name.

There is also a strong willingness to change with the times. Last October a major renovation of the clubhouse was completed to address the desire of residents for a more casual, indoor-outdoor setting.

Even though the golf facilities are regularly improved and enhanced, the renovated clubhouse is really a game changer that in our eyes has elevated Desert Highlands even higher.

Because the community is set at the base of Pinnacle Peak, the views we get to see every day are amazing. Because Desert Highlands is a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of the city we enjoy the peace and quiet, but we’re still very close to the best shopping and dining options, and the 101 is nearby if we want to go downtown for sporting events.

fter 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 We are new homeowners events, and outside and golf members at areas for walking, Terravita.

Chris & Lyle

David and Linda Bertelli

There are active and organized groups for both ladies and men, and social games for couples, and so many opportunities to play a lovely, challenging golf course with people you enjoy.

The members are unpretentious and the camaraderie is great.

Plus as a bonus Terravita Golf Club has replaced all the greens this year. The course will look and play even better.

The golfing community, the active tennis community and the entire Terravita community is very welcoming and inclusive.

It’s a very social club. There are many activities to choose from such as dining clubs, traveling groups, bridge groups, mahjong groups, book club, etc. There’s a large pool and hot tub – and a state of the art fitness center with all types of classes such as aerobics, yoga, pilates and spinning.

The nearby towns of Carefree and Cave Creek offer a variety of eclectic choices of shopping and dining. Everything you could want is in or close to Terravita!

REALTOR PROfile

Meet Lisa Wadey 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.

Many of my clients have 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 estate is my passion so the two paired together are heaven for me.

What’s new with Lisa Wadey? In recent months 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. My team includes, an experienced Marketing Director, Contract Specialist, Associate Broker/Licensed Assistant and myself. Our team works seamlessly to help make your choice of buying and/or selling your home a positive, smooth and enjoyable experience, and one which I believe has led to ninety-five percent of my business being referrals. Also, we have a robust social media and web presence and have been continually working on our SEO (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 not only understands this importance but is actively working on improving their SEO.

Why I Love ...

MIRABEL >

By Kim Baker of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty

n 2006, my husband, Gary Ireton, had just retired for a second time. He had a lot of time on his hands, so I suggested 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 exceptional dining experience and the active lifestyle that Mirabel promotes with its state of the art fitness center, premier tennis facilities and spa services.

But what drew us to the club was its intimacy and the warmth of the members, who made us feel so welcome.

Located in North Scottsdale, Mirabel is situated on more than 700 acres of the Sonoran Desert at an elevation of 3,000 feet. There are 348 home sites with a choice of homes ranging in size from 3000 to 11,000 square feet.

We enjoy a milder year-round Arizona climate at Mirabel with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and city lights. The dramatic sunsets and star-filled night skies are a hallmark of this beautiful environment.

I

At Mirabel’s center is the 35,000 square foot, Frank Lloyd Wright inspired, Desert Lodge Clubhouse, which could rival any five star resort or private club in terms of ambiance, activities, personalized service and fine dining.

Members can enjoy dining indoors in the Grill or Dining Room 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 pool with private cabanas. The championship-caliber tennis garden, features four Har-Tru clay courts and an on-staff tennis professional offering private and group instruction.

Mirabel is probably best known for the exceptional quality of its highly acclaimed golf course, voted “Best Private Club in Arizona” in 2013 by the Arizona Golf Association and recognized by Golfweek, GOLF Magazine and the Arizona Republic as among the nation’s best private golf courses. The course’s classic game strategy, thrilling shot-making opportunities and walkability give it timeless appeal. And it is one of the few private clubs that allows private golf carts.

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

THE

RIM GOLF Club P a y s o n • A R I Z ON A

So close. Yet, a world away.

T

hat’s how members describe The Rim Golf Club in Payson, AZ. Nestled within 555 pristine, pine-studded acres, just below the majestic Mogollon Rim, this golf and country club community offers members four seasons of natural splendor, paired with luxurious amenities in a casual, yet classically elegant environment.

Just 75 minutes from Scottsdale and Phoenix, the picturesque club provides an ideal setting for full-time living as well as an easy getaway for second homeowners eager to tap into the historic region’s unparalleled lifestyle.

“Imagine putting in a few hours at the office, yet being able to stand on the first tee before noon. And in between you’ve enjoyed a scenic drive, trading saguaro-strewn desert vistas for the cool pines along the way,” observed Steve Nordstrom, General Manager, “There are few places on the planet where that is possible before the sun is high in the sky.”

Amid The Pines Set in the midst of the largest stand of Ponderosa pines in the country, the multiple award-winning golf course gained early accolades for its unique blend of challenge and charm.

With a land plan by Gage Davis and course design by the famed duo of Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, newcomers are quick to correlate why the track is so mesmerizing.

To begin, The Rim Golf Club is a fine example of the philosophy the esteemed pair always considered a top priority; playability. As a result, players at every level find enjoyment in maneuvering through dramatic rock outcroppings, observing the rich, native vegetation and approaching a green framed by breathtaking scenery. Throughout the 7,200 yard, par 71 course, whether challenged by water or imposing bunkers, players are duly rewarded for a well-planned and executed golf shot.

“I need this wild life, this freedom.”

– Zane Grey

Membership

The Rim Golf Club was the design team’s final and some would say, ultimate collaboration. As Weiskopf observed, “The twelve finest consecutive holes Jay and I ever designed are at The Rim Golf Club, starting with hole number 7.”

Relaxed Yet Refined After a morning or afternoon on the links, members retreat to the structural centerpiece of the club.

Rugged yet romantic, and rich with handcrafted detail, the extraordinary clubhouse is an inspired period revival of an 1880’s land baron’s manor. Expanding to 29,000 square feet, the interior space includes the pro shop, locker rooms, casual and fine dining options as well as spa facilities. An additional 10,000 square feet of outdoor terraces enable members and their guests to move from cozy and intimate conversation areas adorned by original art to grand spaces offering sweeping views.

The dining room’s 50-foot cascading glass wall often opens wide to views of the 18th green and the Rim country beyond, sweetening the experience with the scent of pine.

It is here, perhaps around one of five crackling fireplaces or while enjoying world-class cuisine, that members share stories

The Rim Golf Club members are welcomed into an extraordinary golf and country club environment where outstanding personal service, gourmet dining plus world-class golf, tennis, fitness and pool facilities, as well as salon and spa amenities combine to create a luxury mountain lifestyle. Membership also includes playing privileges at Chaparral Pines golf club.

THE

VILLAGE AT

SILVERLEAF

A jewel box ... Crafted with care. Rich in detail. Contents curated.

“The conversation has shifted in the past few years,” explained Rod Cullum, President of Cullum Homes, Inc. “Many of today’s estate buyers are looking at their total lifestyle and how they will allocate their resources – both time and money. They are interested in top quality finishes and amenities, and they aren’t interested in wasted space.”

Solution: the “jewel box” home.

Smaller, yet spectacular.

Tailored for a resort and club lifestyle, The Village at Silverleaf is the newest offering within this 2,000-acre, North Scottsdale luxury enclave where custom estate home sites and intimate retreats are set against the backdrop of the McDowell Mountains.

Here, the Tom Weiskopf-designed 18-hole championship golf course loops through 7,322 yards of adjacent canyons and cactus-studded terrain, providing challenge and reward for members and their guests.

And here, unique in the marketplace, twenty semi-custom Villas and Club Cottages, constructed by Cullum Homes, will cluster within a European-style village designed to blend seamlessly with the nearby Silverleaf Clubhouse.

Home to casual fine dining, spa facilities, resort and lap pools, men’s

54

| Fi n est Gol F Pro Pe rt y

and women’s locker rooms and relaxing spaces from which to enjoy the stunning landscape, the 50,000 square-foot Clubhouse is the hub from which members relish the Silverleaf lifestyle.

The Village at Silverleaf homes and community will feature the same Mediterranean -inspired historic elements and furnishings that have earned the Clubhouse and its entry experience high honors.

“Our attention to detail in the design phase provides a certain timelessness and authenticity,” explained Don Ziebell, President of Oz Architects, who designed the award-winning clubhouse and has put his creative talents

to work once more for the Village at Silverleaf. “We’ll incorporate the same antique pavers, reclaimed beams and other fine finishes that create the Old World ambience and intuitive level of integrity associated with the Clubhouse.” p r ox i m i T y & p r i Va C y

The community’s proximity to the Clubhouse, the practice facilities and the 18th green are also key.

“From a lifestyle point of view, the connectivity between the Village and the Clubhouse is very important,” explained Ziebell. “It is a pedestrian-focused environment so no one will have to get in a car or consider the walk too far. The extensive amenities offered by the club are just paces away.”

That proximity will be a multi-faceted asset for those who choose to live within the Village at Silverleaf, agrees Cullum.

“Today’s baby boomers and empty

nesters are less inclined to invest in an expansive home that gets used only once or twice a year,” explained Cullum. “These homes offer all the upscale amenities and the most valued spaces. Yet, when friends and family are visiting, the nearby dining, spa and other recreational facilities will be welcome options.”

While proximity to the Club’s many offerings has grand appeal, owners will also enjoy the refuge provided by their private courtyards, indoor-outdoor living spaces and stunning views of the golf course, city lights and the canyons and peaks of the McDowells looming to the east.

Flexible Design

Flexible floor plans for Club Cottages range from 2,600 to 4,500 square feet. Villas expand from 3,800 to 6,000 square feet.

During the final design and build phase, homeowners will have the option to choose how they wish to allocate their space. Individual lifestyles will dictate how bedrooms, closets and bathroom spaces are prioritized.

“Some homes will also have basements,” explained Cullum, “the concept of which has gained early accolades.”

“We believe having the option to use the space for wine cellars, game and media rooms or for storage will be very popular.

Some families will be downsizing from a very large home and are not quite ready or willing to part with their family treasures.”

C l u b C o tt a g e s and Villas from 2,600 to 6,000 square feet

To enhance each individual residence, owners will also have access to the same antiquities, from European fireplaces to exquisite fixtures, that have created the elegant yet comfortable ambience within the Clubhouse, explained Ziebell.

“We believe there is pent-up demand for a high quality yet more efficient floor plan,” he added.

“One that is luxurious in detail, but also accommodates a more modern lifestyle.”

The Sweet Spot

Indeed, research indicates that modern boomers are interested in remaining a part of a multidimensional community with a vibrant cultural and recreational life.

They also report serving as the emotional and social centers of their families.

Therefore, a homestead that nurtures family gatherings while providing access to stimulating pursuits, is the sweet spot.

Life at Silverleaf offers a rich diversity of activities within the club environment.

In addition to the golf and spa, members enjoy on-site access to hiking and biking trails as well as wine dinners, seasonal events and photography and art classes. At the same time, the Club is just minutes from world-class shopping, dining, museums and professional sporting events.

S o u l S at i s f y i n g

Architect Ziebell believes that buildings should exude a quality he describes as “soul”. To that end, his designs include centuries-old finds he believes evoke an important emotional response and provide historic “reference points that ground us.”

It could be said, those elements are the rare gems one might find in a jewel box.
