Paradise Valley Farms: Acre Lots & Horse Privileges.

Central Scottsdale, Arizona · 85254 · The Shea Corridor

Paradise Valley Farms is one of Central Scottsdale’s rarest finds — a small equestrian enclave of custom homes on acre-plus lots with grandfathered horse privileges, tucked between the McCormick Ranch and Gainey Ranch master plans and directly across Scottsdale Road from the Town of Paradise Valley. It offers land, privacy, and an equestrian lifestyle that simply does not exist at this location anywhere else in the corridor.

“Paradise Valley Farms is the corridor’s hidden acreage. Buyers who want horses, land, and privacy at a McCormick and Gainey Ranch address have almost nowhere else to look — and that scarcity is exactly what makes it special.” — Anne Sostman

Overview

What Is
Paradise Valley Farms?

Paradise Valley Farms is a compact equestrian enclave in the heart of Central Scottsdale’s 85254 corridor — generally bounded by East Northern Avenue and East Eastwood Lane off North Scottsdale Road. Despite the name, it is a Scottsdale-address community that sits directly across Scottsdale Road from the Town of Paradise Valley and is flanked by two of the Valley’s most celebrated master plans, McCormick Ranch and Gainey Ranch. What sets it apart is land: acre-plus lots with grandfathered horse privileges, a rarity anywhere in the built-out Shea Corridor. Homes here are individual custom properties spanning a wide range of eras and styles, many with barns, stables, or room to add them — a genuine equestrian lifestyle minutes from resort golf, premier retail, and the Loop 101.

The Real Estate

What Buyers Need
to Know.

Paradise Valley Farms is a scarcity play. With only a small number of acre-plus equestrian properties, inventory is limited and each home is genuinely unique. Buyers here are trading the amenities and uniformity of a master plan for something the master plans cannot offer: land, horse privileges, and privacy at a premier Central Scottsdale address.

Ask Anne About Availability
Housing Stock
Individual custom homes on acre-plus lots, spanning a wide range of construction eras and sizes. Many include barns, stables, or other equestrian improvements. Because each property is custom, condition ranges from original to fully renovated, and no two homes are directly comparable.
Land & Horse Privileges
The defining feature. Acre-plus lots with grandfathered horse privileges are the reason buyers seek out this enclave — room for horses, RVs, a guest casita, a sport court, or a resort backyard. Confirm the specific zoning and any current restrictions for an individual property.
Location
Between McCormick Ranch and Gainey Ranch, off Scottsdale Road and across from the Town of Paradise Valley. Minutes to the Resort Corridor, Gainey Village, premier golf, and the Loop 101 — an equestrian lifestyle without sacrificing central convenience.
Pricing & Demand
Values vary widely by lot size, condition, and equestrian improvements, and scarcity keeps well-positioned properties in demand. Because figures move with the market, the most useful step is a current, address-specific read — contact Anne for current market data specific to this neighborhood.
Lifestyle

Why People Choose
Paradise Valley Farms.

The enclave delivers a combination of land, location, and lifestyle that is almost impossible to replicate in built-out Central Scottsdale.

Room for Horses and More
Acre-plus lots with grandfathered horse privileges mean space for stables, arenas, RV parking, guest casitas, or a private resort backyard — the kind of land that disappeared from the corridor decades ago.
A Premier Central Location
Flanked by McCormick Ranch and Gainey Ranch, across Scottsdale Road from Paradise Valley, and minutes from the Resort Corridor, Gainey Village, championship golf, and the Loop 101.
Privacy and Scarcity
A small enclave of custom homes means low density, genuine privacy, and inventory that rarely comes available — a combination that holds long-term value in a corridor defined by master-planned uniformity.
Custom Character
Individual custom homes across many eras and styles give the enclave a character no production community can match — and the opportunity to renovate, expand, or rebuild on a rare piece of land.
