Few addresses in Arizona command what Silverleaf does. Tucked into the canyons of the McDowell Mountains inside DC Ranch, this guard-gated enclave offers custom estates from 1 to 15 acres, a private Tom Weiskopf golf course and views that stretch across the entire Valley floor — all within 20 minutes of downtown Scottsdale.
Silverleaf is not a subdivision. It is a private world. Three separate guard-gated enclaves sit within the 2,000-acre DC Ranch master plan, each offering its own character and sightlines. Residents share access to the DC Ranch trail network, community centres and Market Street retail, while the Silverleaf Club sits at the heart of daily life — a 50,000 sq ft Mediterranean-inspired clubhouse with a spa, resort pools and fine dining. You can browse available Silverleaf homes here or call Darren directly to discuss off-market opportunities before they surface publicly.
From morning rounds on the Weiskopf course to trail rides at dusk, Silverleaf is built around living well. Here is what residents experience every day.
2,000 acres of master-planned desert landscape within DC Ranch, with 736 homesites across three guard-gated Silverleaf enclaves.
50,000 sq ft Mediterranean clubhouse opened in 2004, housing fine dining, spa facilities, resort pools and private social spaces.
$28.1M — the record-breaking Silverleaf sale closed by Darren Tackett in 2022, Arizona's highest residential transaction at the time.
Multi-year waitlist for Golf Memberships at $400K initiation — one of the clearest signals of Silverleaf's enduring demand and scarcity.
Silverleaf sits within its own three guard-gated enclaves carved into the McDowell Mountains, inside the larger DC Ranch master plan. Custom homesites from 1 to 15 acres mean no two properties are the same. Add a private Tom Weiskopf golf course, a 50,000 sq ft clubhouse and spa, and panoramic Valley views — and Silverleaf occupies a tier that no other North Scottsdale community comes close to matching.
Silverleaf home prices vary widely based on lot size, custom build quality, view orientation and proximity to the club. Entry points generally start well above $3M, with premium canyon estates and new construction reaching $20M or more. The Tackett Team's record Silverleaf sale was $28.1M in 2022 — Arizona's highest residential transaction at the time. For an accurate current valuation, contact Darren directly.
Residents access the private Silverleaf Club with its Weiskopf golf course, 50,000 sq ft clubhouse, open-air spa, resort pools and multiple dining options including The Stone House. Through DC Ranch, residents also enjoy the nine-acre Desert Camp recreation complex, the Homestead community centre, Copper Ridge K–8 school, miles of desert trails and three walkable retail and dining districts along Thompson Peak Parkway.
Yes. As of 2024, there is a multi-year waitlist for Golf Memberships at the Silverleaf Club. Golf Membership requires a $400,000 initiation fee and $2,750 in monthly dues. A Clubhouse-only membership is available at $100,000 initiation and $875 monthly. The waitlist is one of the clearest indicators of how sought-after Silverleaf membership has become.
