SILVERLEAF

Silverleaf Community

- Silverleaf is a private, guard-gated enclave within DC Ranch, located in North Scottsdale.
- It is tucked into the foothills and canyons of the McDowell Mountains, adjacent to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.
- The development footprint is about 2,000 acres, with a limited number of home sites (estimates around ~700 lots/homes) to preserve exclusivity and views.
- Silverleaf was developed by DMB Development (the same group behind DC Ranch) with careful planning to blend into the natural terrain and emphasize privacy, views, and luxury.

Housing

The architecture tends to be custom, luxury estates or high-end villas. Homes are often large (several thousand square feet) and built to take advantage of canyon, mountain, or city-light views.
Lot sizes vary widely: from smaller hillside parcels to multi-acre lots for grand estates.
If you check listings, many homes sit well above the multimillion-dollar range. For instance, properties in Silverleaf are listed at $4–5 million and up, with record listings exceeding $20 million.
Silverleaf often commands the highest price-per-acre or price-per-square-foot tiers in the DC Ranch area.

Amenities & Lifestyle Features

The Silverleaf Club
- 18-hole Tom Weiskopf championship golf course (par-72, ~7,322 yards) winding through the terrain.
- A 50,000 sq ft clubhouse, styled in Rural Mediterranean architecture, featuring fine and casual dining, locker rooms, resort & lap pools, spa, fitness areas.
- The spa is high end, with full services for members.
- Memberships are required for access to club-level amenities (golf, dining, spa). There are often tiers (e.g. golf membership vs clubhouse membership) for different levels of access.
Community & DC Ranch Integration
- Residents also benefit from DC Ranch’s amenities: trails, parks, recreation centers, and access to Market Street (retail / dining area in DC Ranch).
- Silverleaf is served by DC Ranch’s infrastructure for pedestrian and biking trails, so many neighborhoods are connected by trail systems into the broader DC Ranch area.
- Because of its elevated location and layout, many homes enjoy privacy, minimal road traffic, sweeping views of the valley, and natural desert surroundings.

Dining, Shopping & Entertainment

Within Silverleaf / Club Dining

The Silverleaf Clubhouse offers both fine dining and casual dining to members.
Example: The Stone House is a golf course turn facility in Silverleaf between holes 10 and 11. It serves as a restaurant, event venue, and “rehydration station” for golfers. It’s open to Silverleaf Club members.
Dining hours:
- Spike Bar & Dining Room: breakfast, lunch, dinner (7:00 a.m. onward)
- Pool Café / Men’s Grill / Ladies’ Conservatory: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. service for food & beverage

So inside Silverleaf, dining is largely via the club facilities (clubhouse, golf turn houses).
