McDowell Sonoran Preserve Looking to Expand into Troon

by

troon az real esateThe McDowell Sonoran Preserve is a cherished gem to many Troon residents who love to get out explore the beautiful outdoors. After its most recent expansions, the Preserve stretched to around 27,800 acres, and an additional 2,365 acres being auctioned off by the Arizona State Land Department later this year will put the Preserve’s total size at 30,000 acres. This will bring the city just 4,000 acres short of their goal of 34,000 acres of preserved land.

The problem lies in acquiring those 4,000 acres, and the city of Scottsdale is currently looking at land adjacent to Troon North. A prime 290-acre parcel sits at the end of Alma School Road; however, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve is not the only competitor for the land. The Troon land is zoned for residential development, and if it comes to auction, homebuilders will have their eyes on it as well.

The fate of these 290 acres may affect Troon in a number of ways. If the city is able to purchase the parcel, plans to build a new trailhead will grant Troon residents another access point to the Preserve that is close to home. New construction of Troon North homes may benefit the area as well, though the presence of washes and power lines may deter developers from bidding on the property. Even so, Scottsdale may be looking at a high price tag on future additions to the Preserve.
