Intimately nestled in the high Sonoran desert along the historic Whiskey Bottle Trail, locals like to say that the North Scottsdale real estate of Legend Trail community is “just a long two-iron from the Boulders Resort” in nearby Carefree. Surrounded by state-owned preserve land, this exclusive community includes 640 acres, much of which is open space. Set apart by natural topography, Legend Trail consists of five distinctive communities built across spectacular real estate developed by high-end production builders as well as custom homebuilders. 
A sampling of the quiet neighborhoods within Legend Trail includes Pinnacle at Legend Trail, filled with sumptuous semi-custom single family homes; The Preserve Summit, a luxurious gated community; the custom gated community of Legend Vista Estates; and Mirage Trail, a condominium community.
One of the most admired amenities at Legend Trail is the Legend Trail Golf Club, which boasts a par-72 championship 18-hole course designed by world-renowned Rees Jones, who had this to say about the course: “Players visiting Scottsdale’s Legend Trail will encounter a golf facility created to provide a fair and enjoyable experience for the average and beginning golfer, yet also capable of presenting a formidable test for the game’s more accomplished players.”
Golfers of all ages and abilities will find challenge as well as great fun in the courses at Legend Trail, to wit: with four sets of tee-boxes, the “Long Trail” plays at 6,845 yards, while the “Short Trail” plays at just 5,000 yards. Snuggled amongst the wine-hued mountains and statuesque saguaros, the impeccably manicured course sits in lush contrast to the rugged beauty of the Sonoran desert. Managed by Troon Golf, the course enjoys an elevation of 3,000 feet above sea level and commands views of both the ancient spires of Pinnacle Peak and the entire valley far below. One of its many fine features is an ambient-air temperature noticeably cooler than “down in the city.” Similar to many desert courses, the holes at Legend Trail are better known by their nicknames as opposed to their numbers. For example, lucky number 13 is Sonoran Solitude, number six is Painted Desert, number nine is the Promised Land, and the Finishing Touch is – you guessed it – number 18.
Additional amenities open to residents of Legend Trail include two pools, two lighted tennis courts, a 10,000-square-foot recreation facility with a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a plethora of biking and walking and trails.
