Dove Valley Ranch is a master-planned community in Cave Creek, Arizona, sprawling across 850 acres at the foothills of the Tonto National Forest, just north of Phoenix and near the intersection of Cave Creek Road and Carefree Highway. This golf-centric neighborhood, anchored by the Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club—an 18-hole public course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.—features 12 distinct gated subsections with approximately 850 homes, ranging from condos and townhomes to single-family residences with prices typically starting around $400,000 and climbing past $1 million for premium lots. Residents enjoy sweeping views of Black Mountain and the surrounding desert landscape, with wide streets, minimal street lighting to preserve starry skies, and over 300 feet of spacing between homes for added privacy. The community is minutes from Cave Creek’s Western charm—think historic saloons, horseback riding, and the Cave Creek Museum—while offering modern amenities like trails for hiking or biking and proximity to Scottsdale’s shopping and dining, about 15 miles south via the Loop 101.
