Sunburst Farms: Irrigated Lots & Horse Privileges.
Central Scottsdale, Arizona · 85254 · The Shea Corridor
Sunburst Farms is a rare irrigated-lot equestrian community in Scottsdale’s 85254 corridor — flood irrigation, bridle paths, mature citrus and shade trees, and 1- and half-acre lots where horses and farm animals are part of everyday life. Near 56th Street and Sweetwater, with a public horse arena and Sereno Park close by, it offers a green, semi-rural lifestyle minutes from the corridor’s resorts, retail, and freeways.
What Is
Sunburst Farms?
Sunburst Farms — known formally as Sunburst Farms East — is an irrigated-lot equestrian community in Central Scottsdale’s 85254 corridor, near 56th Street and Sweetwater. It is one of the few places in this luxury-leaning zip code where the lifestyle is green and semi-rural: flood irrigation supports mature citrus and shade trees, bridle paths run through the community, and a public horse arena sits nearby. Lots range from half-acre to full-acre parcels, and full equestrian privileges mean horses and other farm animals are part of everyday life. Two parks are within walking distance, and the community is served by the Paradise Valley Unified School District — all minutes from the corridor’s resorts, retail, and freeway access.
