Lost Canyon is Scottsdale's best kept secret!
Guard Gated Security. Protected by a guard 24 hours each day, Lost Canyon boasts just 35 plots, each spanning over 5 acres, creating the "only gated canyon in Scottsdale." Its tranquil ambiance is punctuated solely by the melodies of nature. Unless invited, chances are you've yet to discover this hidden gem.
Nestled within the McDowell Mountains, Lost Canyon lies adjacent to Silverleaf's prestigious Upper Canyon, home to some of Scottsdale's most luxurious residences. Offering a serene retreat amidst Silverleaf's allure, Lost Canyon appeals to those seeking expansive lots and tranquility over the hustle of a golf club setting.
SCOTTSDALE'S BEST HIKING, SHOPPING, DINING & ENTERTAINMENT
Scottsdale consistently earns its place among the top 15 hiking destinations globally, boasting over 200 miles of pristine trails in the McDowell Mountains. Located mere minutes from the 101 Loop, Lost Canyon offers not only unparalleled natural beauty but also easy access to Scottsdale's renowned attractions such as the annual Phoenix Open, Collector Car Auctions, and a plethora of top-tier dining, entertainment venues, nightclubs, and shopping destinations like Kierland and the Scottsdale Quarter.
This secluded paradise comprises just 35 exclusive homesites, each spanning a minimum of 190,000 square feet, ensuring utmost privacy with strategically positioned building pads. Accessing Lost Canyon is a breeze: head north on Pima from the 101, then turn right (east) at the Starbucks/AJs shopping plaza at Pima and Pinnacle Peak, and within approximately a 3-minute drive, you'll find yourself immersed in the tranquility of the McDowell Mountains—yet still remarkably close to urban convenience.
Lost Canyon lies approximately 6 miles from Scottsdale's private airport, a hub of activity during events like the Barrett Jackson Collector Car Auction, equestrian events, and the Phoenix Open, all just a short 10-minute drive away. This distance strikes a perfect balance, allowing residents to savor the serenity and unspoiled beauty of the Mountain Preserve nature preserve, basking in the silence and under the starlit sky, far from the bustle of city life.
SCOTTSDALE'S ONLY GATED CANYON
Situated approximately 3 miles southeast of the intersection of Pima and Pinnacle Peak roads, the LOST CANYON community spans 240 acres nestled within the heart of the McDowell Mountains. With elevations reaching up to 2,342 feet, the residences offer breathtaking vistas to the northwest, secluded from view from Pima Road, a distinctive feature of the western slopes of the McDowell Mountains.
NATURAL AMPHITHEATER
Lost Canyon is a natural amphitheater of desert foothills, ravines, washes and rock outcroppings enhanced by a well established Sonoran desert landscape with minimal alteration. Within the confines of the Lost Canyon valley and the environmentally sensitive eco-system, only a limited number of homesites were achievable without major alteration of the hillside. This required strict architectural guidelines and restrictions to ensure a subtle blending of the manmade and natural environment. Within the building envelope, residences have been sited so that important views are protected, natural drainage is not significantly altered and the overall philosophy of Lost Canyon is implemented by integrating each residence with the natural desert.
