Terravita Golf and Country Club is Desert Living at Its Best

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Excalibur

It doesn't take long to realize that Terravita Golf and Country Club is Desert Living at its Best.  Some things are definitely better with time; a perfectly aged Reggiano Parmesan Cheese, a Balsamic Vinegar, a robust Cabernet Sauvignon to name a few.  Terravita Golf and Country Club joins an exclusive list of great Scottsdale planned communities; this one coming of age after nearly twenty years since its Grand Opening. Terravita Golf and Country Club Entrance

 

Part of what is so attractive about Terravita Golf and Country Club is the growing number of conveniences, restaurants and shopping within less than five minutes in any direction.

Located near what is known as the Desert Foothillls overlay, strict ordinances protect the integrity of the surrounding  desert landscape and wildlife.  The night skies are stunningly dark with crisp twinkling starlight due to commercial and residential street lighting restrictions.  You won't find  any street lights in Terravita Golf and Country Club.  Solar sensored Coach lights on the exterior of the garages bring just the right amount of lighting to streets and sidewalks.   Adn did I mention, with less concrete, more trees afternoon breezes a slithly higher elevation, it is quite common in the summer to average 6-10 degrees cooler than the valley floor in downtown Scottosdale.  Fifteen

Many of the floorplans included a third bay garage just perfect for the golf carts.  It is not uncommon to see people riding through the community on their gollf carts.  The golf club is an optional separate membership fee and monthly dues.  All Buyers pay a transfer fee at time of purchase and become a social member in Terravita Golf and Country Club.  The social membership affords you access to the impressive fitness center, an expansive swim center with snack bar, and a handsome tennis facility with league play during the winter months. And don't forget the dining room, bar and grill serving meals on varying schedules throughout the year.  Besides a full service regular menu, there are special wine pairing dinners, theme dinners and Friday evenings with live entertainmnet in the grill.  Don't feel like cooking or going out?  Take-out dining is also an option. Terravita Homes 4 Sale are frequently found on the open house list available when you arrive at the gate.  Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are most common days for Open Houses.  This past February, the Monthly Terravita Home Tour was revived.  Any Broker who has  a home listed for sale in the MLS is invited to participate in the tour on Home Tour Sign Riderthe last Friday of every  month from 2-5 pm.  Bound guide books are available at the guard house on the day of the tour and an advance schedule of homes on tour is also available   The response has been terrific, building each month.  There are usually 12-16 homes on tour and attendance ranges from 15-45 groups on this self guided tour.  Email me at Gayle@TerravitaHomes4Sale.com  or any of the Terravita Listing agents and request to receive monthly Terravita Home Tour information.  Seven days a week, the Terravita guards put Open House signs out on Scottsdale Road when the first Open house begins.
