Eleven lots have been set aside for those who want to build their own homes, but most buyers are opting for the guided design approach. For them it begins with a five-day design retreat, where they meet with a team of construction, design, landscape, lighting, and audio/security professionals, all the while enjoying a complimentary stay at the hotel. The design process, handled by Sue Calvin of Wiseman and Gale Interiors, is a historical journey through three different periods in Southwest architectural history—Southwest territorial, Spanish Colonial and Arizona contemporary. Her decorating philosophy involves matching the spacious interiors of the new homes to the Arizona landscape. “When you look at the desert landscape, you see that it’s big and bold and not refined—the mountains are knobby and the cacti are prickly,” says Calvin. “The territorial theme has been the most popular because it features relaxed, comfortable furniture and decor representative of old ranches that existed when Arizona was a territory.” For those who require a more refined look, the Spanish Colonial theme mixes Spanish influences such as wood and wrought iron with European design, while the Arizona contemporary style is more clean and streamlined.

Single-family vacation homebuyers have the privacy and security of a gated community with easy access to the resort. “It’s like living at home without the heavy lifting,” Dennis says. “You can have dinner served at home through room service or arrange to have someone do your grocery shopping and load up your refrigerator.”
A dedicated concierge service helps guests make last-minute dinner reservations. The golf concierge can access priority tee times at neighboring Troon North as well as garner a spot at any of the other 200 golf courses in the area. “Access and priority are the name of the game, especially during peak season,” observes Dennis. “It’s comforting to know that you have that connection covered.”
Guests at the Four Seasons Scottsdale at Troon North, Ariz. can select from three lodging options:
- Four Seasons Resort: A 210-room resort adjacent to
the Troon North golf course that offers a 24-hour concierge, business center,
three restaurants, tennis, swimming, fitness center and spa. Rates range from
$155 to $625 per night.
- Residence Club: A 126-unit shared-ownership
development of adobe-style two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath, 1,670-square-foot
villas. Private clubhouse with concierge, two pools and fitness center.
Residence Club members receive access and charging privileges to hotel
amenities. Units can be split into two separate (studio and one-bedroom) spaces,
allowing owners to double their time. Owners may exchange their time for stays
at other Four Seasons resorts worldwide and are privy to special last-minute
getaway prices. The cost is $23,000, $32,000 or $54,000 per week, depending on
the season, plus an assessment of $7,000 per annum.
