The Boulders
The Boulders
The Boulders occupies one of the more recognizable desert settings in the Scottsdale and Carefree area. Massive granite formations rise between homes, fairways, and native Sonoran Desert terrain, giving the community a character that is hard to duplicate. This guard-gated Arizona community is also closely associated with Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale, part of Hilton’s Curio Collection.
Real estate in The Boulders includes luxury villas, Southwestern-inspired residences, and larger custom homes and estates. Golf course properties are part of the mix, along with homes positioned around dramatic rock formations, mountain views, and preserved desert. The architecture tends to work with the landscape rather than compete with it.
Homes, Golf, & Amenities
The Boulders blends private club opportunities with resort amenities, dining, fitness, racquet sports, and a nationally recognized desert spa. Golf may anchor the lifestyle, but there is plenty happening beyond the fairways.
- Luxury Real Estate: Villas, single-family homes, custom residences, and luxury estates make up the residential mix, with many properties oriented toward golf, desert, mountain, or boulder views.
- The Boulders Club: Two 18-hole championship courses designed by Jay Morrish wind through the desert. The North Course measures 6,811 yards at par 72, while the South Course plays 6,726 yards at par 71.
- Club Membership: Membership opportunities provide access to golf and additional club privileges. Membership is separate from residential ownership and should be verified for an individual property.
- Spa & Wellness: The 33,000-square-foot spa includes treatment rooms, fitness facilities, a heated pool, meditation spaces, and a variety of wellness experiences.
- Tennis & Pickleball: Racquet amenities include tennis and 12 pickleball courts, along with lessons and clinics.
- Dining: The resort and club offer several dining settings, from casual options to more formal experiences overlooking the surrounding desert and golf courses.
Living Among The Boulders
The landscape does much of the talking here. Ancient granite formations, saguaros, desert foothills, and golf fairways create a setting that feels distinctly different from Scottsdale’s more conventional master-planned communities. The Boulders Resort & Spa sits within that same environment, bringing golf, dining, spa, fitness, and recreation close to the residential neighborhoods.
Carefree and Cave Creek add another dimension nearby, with restaurants, galleries, shops, and local events centered around their respective town areas. For luxury homes in the North Scottsdale and Carefree area, The Boulders combines established real estate, private golf opportunities, resort amenities, and one of the Valley’s most recognizable Sonoran Desert landscapes.
