Overview
What Is Crown
Canyon?
Crown Canyon is a private, gated 30 acre enclave in Paradise Valley containing just 12 ultra luxury homesites, each named after a gemstone: Onyx, Jade, Amethyst, Opal, Amber, Garnet, Quartz, Ruby, Topaz, Turquoise, and two additional sites. The community is surrounded by thousands of acres of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, making it impossible for any future development to encroach on its privacy. The name Crown Canyon derives from the surrounding serrated peaks shaped like a crown.
The development is the vision of Kevin Groman (Crown Canyon Capital) and is being built by BedBrock Developers, led by Rich Brock, who discovered the hidden parcel over a decade ago while driving through a mountain preserve area. The land, nearly 30 acres, had been purchased by a previous owner who intended to build a single estate but never did. Groman acquired the land, built the infrastructure, and partnered with BedBrock to create what is now the most exclusive gated community in Arizona.
The architectural team includes Drewett Works, Swaback Partners, and other nationally recognized firms. The Jade residence, designed by CP Drewett, earned a Platinum Award from the National Association of Home Builders Best in American Living Awards. Both Onyx and Jade received Gold Nugget Merit Awards for design excellence. Every home is designed to integrate with the natural canyon terrain, maximizing views of the surrounding mountain preserve and the Valley floor below.
Homesites range from approximately one acre to above five acres, with the largest parcel (the crown jewel lot) once listed at above $30 million for the vacant land alone. Completed homes range from approximately 7,000 to 10,000+ square feet. The starting price for Crown Canyon residences is $10 million, with finished showcases reaching $20 million or more. A single Crown Canyon sale set at $16.85 million in late 2024 demonstrated the market’s appetite for this caliber of product.
Crown Canyon is positioned between Paradise Valley and the Biltmore area, approximately 12 miles from Scottsdale Airport and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and within 5 miles of world class dining, gourmet groceries, shopping, and golf. The community provides total seclusion while maintaining the urban convenience that defines the broader Paradise Valley lifestyle proposition.
