The Rio Verde Foothills
Approximately 15 miles to the North East of bustling downtown Scottsdale is a quiet rural community known as "The Rio Verde Foothills". With a long colorful history dating back to the early 1800´s this area was originally home to wandering bands of Apache Indians and the home of the more settled Pima Indians. In the mid 1800´s the Apaches were forced out and the area was taken over by cattle ranchers and farmers providing beef and hay for the local army posts of Fort McDowell and others in the surrounding area.
Perfect for horse lovers and outdoor sports
Today "The Rio Verde Foothills" is known as the last bastion of equestrian real estate in the North East Valley. Now consisting of approximately 18 square miles with rural zoning restrictions limiting home sites to a minimum of one acre or more the area has become a hub for the many equestrian disciplines. Large training and breeding ranches cater to dressage, cutting and reining, and hunter jumper disciplines as well as a very prolific pleasure riding group of enthusiast.
Bordered on three sides by the McDowell Mountain Park and the Tonto National Forest The Rio Verde Foothills is perfect for all kinds of outdoor sports ranging from sightseeing, golfing, hiking, dirt bike and quad riding, boating and a multitude of other activities.
