Boldero Grande Homes For Sale In Scottsdale
Boldero Grande is a small custom-home enclave in North Scottsdale’s 85266 ZIP code, tucked off Hayden Road just south of Westland Road on East Soaring Eagle Way. It sits in the boulder-studded high desert between Scottsdale and Carefree, a few minutes from The Boulders Resort, the town of Carefree and Cave Creek. So you get big lots and mountain views, but you’re not far from dinner or a round of golf.
This isn’t a master-planned community with a clubhouse. Instead, it’s a handful of custom homes on roughly one-acre-plus parcels with no HOA, which is a big part of the draw. Homes come up rarely, so buyers who want space, privacy and fewer rules tend to keep an eye on this pocket for a while before something opens up.

Homes and Architecture
Homes in Boldero Grande were custom built, mostly in the 2000s, and each one reflects its original owner’s taste. You’ll see Santa Barbara and Tuscan influences, warm stucco, tile roofs and big covered patios aimed at the mountain views.
Here’s what buyers typically find:
- Single-family custom homes, largely built from about 2002 to 2010
- Living space from roughly 4,100 to 7,900 square feet, with 3 to 5 bedrooms
- Lots around 1.1 to 1.25 acres, with natural desert and boulders left in place
- Common extras such as detached casitas or guest houses, 4-car garages, pools with spas, outdoor kitchens and solar
- At least one larger multi-generational layout with separate living suites and a roof deck
As of September 2026, the one active listing on Soaring Eagle Way, a 4,949-square-foot single-level home from 2006 on about 1.12 acres, is asking $2,695,000. For context, that same home sold for $2,150,000 in April 2022, and a 7,870-square-foot home across the street sold for $1,915,000 in May 2021. Given how few homes are here, current values generally fall in the mid-$2 million to $3 million range.
Market Overview
With so few homes, Boldero Grande doesn’t have a steady stream of sales, so pricing leans heavily on individual comparables. That said, the current listing tells a clear story. It first came on the market in January 2026 at $3,100,000, dropped to $2,799,000 in April, then relisted at $2,695,000 in late August.
So what does that mean for you? At this price point in North Scottsdale, buyers have room to negotiate, and homes that are priced right and well updated move faster than ones that need work. Plus, recent upgrades matter a lot here. A newer roof, replaced HVAC and owned solar can justify a real price difference between two homes that look similar on paper. As a result, the best approach is to compare against nearby acre properties in the Boulders and Carefree area, not just this street.
Amenities and Lifestyle
Because there’s no HOA, Boldero Grande has no shared pools, courts or clubhouse. Instead, your lot is the amenity. Most homes are set up for outdoor living, with pools, spas, fire features and patios that face the mountains. Meanwhile, the surrounding area fills in the rest.
Nearby favorites include:
- The Boulders Resort and its golf courses, plus shopping and dining at el Pedregal
- Downtown Carefree and the Cave Creek town core for restaurants, shops and events
- Hiking at Black Mountain and the Brown’s Ranch area of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve
- Golf at nearby clubs including Troon North and Desert Mountain
For everyday errands, shopping and grocery stores line the Scottsdale Road and Carefree Highway corridors, just a few minutes away.
Schools and Location
Boldero Grande is served by Cave Creek Unified School District. Recent listings show Black Mountain Elementary School, Sonoran Trails Middle School and Cactus Shadows High School as the assigned schools. You can confirm boundaries and enrollment details directly with the district at Cave Creek Unified School District, since assignments can change.
Location-wise, you’re on Hayden Road just south of Westland Road, with Scottsdale Road about a mile to the west. That puts Carefree and Cave Creek close by, while Loop 101 is roughly 20 to 25 minutes south.

As of September 2026, homes here typically fall in the range of approximately $2.5 million to $3 million, although larger or heavily updated estates can exceed $3 million. Since sales are infrequent, recent comparables from nearby acre properties matter a lot.
Does Boldero Grande have an HOA?
No. Recent listings on Soaring Eagle Way show no HOA. That means no monthly association fees and no community-run amenities, but it also means architectural and landscaping choices are mostly governed by City of Scottsdale rules and any recorded deed restrictions rather than an association.
Is Boldero Grande gated?
No, Boldero Grande is not a gated community. Some individual homes have their own entry gates and walled courtyards, so privacy varies home by home.
What amenities does Boldero Grande offer?
There are no shared community amenities since there's no HOA. Instead, homes typically have private pools, spas, outdoor kitchens and casitas on about an acre. Nearby, you'll find The Boulders golf courses, el Pedregal, downtown Carefree and trails at Black Mountain and the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.
What schools serve Boldero Grande?
Boldero Grande is served by Cave Creek Unified School District. Recent listings show Black Mountain Elementary School, Sonoran Trails Middle School and Cactus Shadows High School as assigned schools. Always confirm current boundaries with the district before you buy.
How far is Boldero Grande from Old Town Scottsdale and Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport?
Old Town Scottsdale is roughly 22 to 24 miles south, usually about 35 to 40 minutes by car. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is roughly 30 miles away, typically about 40 to 45 minutes in normal traffic.
What should buyers know before buying a home in Boldero Grande?
Each home is a one-off custom build, so compare systems closely: roof age, HVAC, pool equipment and whether solar is owned or leased can swing value by six figures. With no HOA, check recorded deed restrictions and City of Scottsdale rules for things like additions, RV parking and short-term rentals. Also look at lot position on Hayden Road versus deeper on Soaring Eagle Way, since road noise and view corridors differ. Finally, septic versus sewer and water provider details are worth confirming for acre properties in this area.
How can I find homes for sale in Boldero Grande?
Use the View Listings button on this page to see any current Boldero Grande homes. Since listings here are rare, reach out to The Holm Group and we'll let you know when something comes up, including homes in nearby acre neighborhoods.
How is Boldero Grande different from Boldero?
They appear to describe the same small group of homes. MLS records list the Soaring Eagle Way homes as Boldero Grande, while some real estate sites group the same homes (built 2002 to 2010, about 4,100 to 7,900 square feet) under the shorter name Boldero. If you see both names, check the street address, which is on Soaring Eagle Way off Hayden Road, north of Dynamite Boulevard rather than down near Pinnacle Peak.
How does Boldero Grande compare with Winfield next door?
Winfield sits just west of Hayden Road on the same Soaring Eagle Way corridor, but it's a gated community with an HOA and shared amenities like tennis courts and trails. Boldero Grande has no HOA and no gate, so you trade community amenities for fewer rules and no association fees. Home sizes and lot sizes are fairly similar.
