For the Huntsman family, philanthropy is as much a part
of life as was the business they built over a span of four
decades. In fact, Mr. Huntsman is widely recognized as
one of America’s foremost concerned citizens and philanthropists.
In 1995, Jon and Karen Huntsman founded the Huntsman
Cancer Institute at the University of Utah. The Institute is now
one of America’s major cancer centers dedicated to finding
a cure. The combined facility features leading-edge research
laboratories and a state-of-the-art hospital treating cancer
patients. The recently announced $100 million expansion will
double the laboratory space and create the Primary Children’s
and Families’ Cancer Research Center, which will focus
exclusively on inherited and childhood cancers. Huntsman, a
three-time cancer survivor, is dedicated to finding a cure for the
disease that took his mother, father, and stepmother.
Jon tries to visit patients at the Institute every week to
support them in their struggles. He comes away from each visit
with strengthened resolve to do everything possible to eradicate
the disease.
T h e h u n T s m a n F a m i l y
Jon M. Huntsman, patriarch of the Huntsman family, has
close ties to the Teton Valley and feels at home amid the rich
history, the abundance of nature, and the western lifestyle of this
beautiful mountain valley. The Huntsman family is committed
to enhancing the natural surroundings through consistent efforts
to protect and restore wildlife populations and to maintain and
improve habitat and protection areas.
T i m e l e s s h u n T s m a n s p r i n g s
Huntsman Springs in Driggs, Idaho will remain true to the
history of those that have come before by perpetuating a traditional
lifestyle for generations to come, where daily life may remain
centered on family and community surrounded by the natural
beauty that graces the valley. Architectural harmony and balance
are carefully incorporated into home-grown, wholesome elements.
The path to Huntsman Springs hasn’t been worn; it has only been
enriched with tradition. Life at Huntsman Springs will offer its
residents a diversity of experiences. From a morning stroll on our
wellness path to the evening meal at The Barn – the community
restaurant – Huntsman Springs will be a place where your family
will gather and where memories will be made and treasured.

If there is one word used to describe
Chey Castro, it is hard-working. Add to
that descriptor, trustworthy, reliable,
ethical, and positive, and you have the
characteristics most people are looking for in
a Realtor. Or for that matter a
business partner or friend!
Castro’s skills and attributes
combine to create a hearty
recipe for success in the real
estate business. From his early
days as a college student, the
young Phoenix native has
stayed late, gone the extra mile,
over-delivered and maintained
a positive attitude, even when
the road was dotted with detours.
“I have always had a strong work ethic
and been motivated to do something I love,”
explained Castro. “So when I interviewed
with DMB Associates and heard the magic
words golf, finance and luxury real estate,
I knew it was a path I wanted to follow.”
His first experience with the iconic Real
Estate Development Company was as an
intern while pursuing his undergraduate
degree in Finance at ASU. (He graduated
with a 4.0) Urged by the DMB executives he
admired to gain more
experience, Castro enrolled
in the Masters program at the
University of Notre Dame,
graduated and joined a Big 4
accounting firm where he
once again had the chance to
prove his mettle.
“There I learned to work
even harder, meet stringent
deadlines and burrow into
the important detail,” explained Castro.
In time, he took his newly enhanced
experience and knowledge back to DMB
where he served as a Senior Financial
Analyst. With a keen understanding of the
business in Real Estate Development, he
surprised many when he made the bold
decision, particularly given the rocky economic
landscape, to trade a steady corporate job for
the sales side of the business.
“I had to restart my career at the bottom
as a Sales Assistant at the Silverleaf Sales
Center and plenty of people thought I was
crazy,” laughs Castro. “But I figure I got an
MBA in sales by learning how to survive
when the chips were down from the
determined pros in a top luxury sales office.”
Today, as a successful Sales Associate
with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty,
Castro is able to put his hard-earned
knowledge to work for the most discriminating
of luxury buyers and sellers in a complex
marketplace.
“I am able to offer my clients the benefit of
my accounting and finance background as well
as what I understand after studying the market
and inventory during good times and bad.”
“There is no substitute for product
knowledge and outstanding customer
service,” offered Castro. “My clients know
they can count on me to be there for them
day or night, no matter the question or
concern. And if I am able to deliver on my
promises to them, I know they will feel not
only comfortable, but enthusiastic about
referring me to their friends and family.
“In the end, this business is about making
people’s dreams come true,” he added. “And if
I can be a part of that, I am happy.”

resulting calm and peaceful atmosphere of the community. Living in the High Sonoran Desert also provides many recreational opportunities with nearby Pinnacle Peak, Troon North’s 4-acre community park and a 185-acre mountain preserve with winding multi-use trails.
Why do I love Troon North? I love it because it has something for everyone, whether it’s golf, tennis, dinner at the fantastic clubhouse, the beauty of the high desert or access to nearby shops and restaurants in Scottsdale. We really have it all.
Back in the mid 1990’s my husband Ron and I
would visit relatives and spend a lot of time golfi ng in the
Valley of the Sun. We immediately fell in love with the area as a result of playing both Troon North Championship courses. In 1999, we made the move to Arizona, bought a lot in Troon North’s master planned community, in 2000, and built our home.
The Tom Weiskopf designed course at Troon North has lush fairways meticulously maintained and the greens are like ice – all situated among the boulder outcroppings of north Scottsdale’s Sonoran Desert. We especially love the panoramic views of Pinnacle Peak, Troon Mountain, and the McDowell Mountain range. The elevation at Troon North also provides a great setting for night views of the valley below.
We are continually intrigued by the topography of the area and Troon North is attuned to keeping the landscaping indigenous to the desert. I enjoy the

DESERT HIGHLANDScasual barbecue at the tennis center while our daughter takes a lesson. All of the facilities are kept in pristine condition and the professional staff always greets you with a smile and knows your name.
There is also a strong willingness to change with the times. Last October a major renovation of the clubhouse was completed to address the desire of residents for a more casual, indoor-outdoor setting. Even though the golf facilities are regularly improved and enhanced, the renovated clubhouse is really a game changer that in our eyes has elevated Desert Highlands even higher.
Because the community is set at the base of Pinnacle Peak, the views we get to see every day are amazing. Because Desert Highlands is a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of the city we enjoy the peace and quiet, but we’re still very close to the best shopping and dining options, and the 101 is nearby if we want to go downtown for sporting events.
s Arizona natives who grew up in Scottsdale, we evaluated all of the private communities
in the area and felt that Desert Highlands had the best mix of amenities, ambiance
and location. After moving here we instantly felt a real sense of community where people truly care about each other. That has not changed in the 15 years we have lived here and our six-year-old daughter feels right at home too.
In terms of amenities, there is something for everyone. The centerpiece is the beautiful Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, which has multiple tees at each hole that make it as easy or as challenging as you want. There’s also one of the country’s best tennis centers—with 13 courts and three different playing surfaces—a fi tness center that looks out over the Valley, wine clubs, card games and even an 18-hole putting course. We enjoy taking our dog for strolls along the walking paths throughout the community or having a

After retiring in Massachusetts we were excited to try a
new life in Arizona. Having only spent a few days
there before, we were taking a big leap of faith. We
knew we wanted to live in North Scottsdale to enjoy the high
Sonoran desert landscape, keep the traffic to a minimum, but
retain all the amenities of great restaurants and shopping
nearby. We knew we wanted a secured gated community that
had a lot to offer— such as social and physical activities, a nice
clubhouse with a great
restaurant, parties and
events, and outside
areas for walking,
hiking and biking. Once
we visited Terravita, we
knew it was for us.
Since taking the big
leap, we couldn’t be
more pleased.
The clubhouse is
beautiful with spectacular
sunsets and a diverse
casual dining experience.
There are sidewalks
everywhere— and as a
bonus, there are 7 miles
of nature walking paths
throughout the area.
The award winning
private golf course was a
big enticement. At first
we thought we’d explore
all the golf courses in the area rather than settle on just one.
But after we met all the fun people and learned about all the
great social activities of the Terravita Golf Club, we decided to
jump on board and haven’t looked back.
We are new homeowners
and golf members at
Terravita. We have been
completely overwhelmed
by the friendly atmosphere
in the community.
The professional courtesy
shown by all the golf staff
along with all the country
club staff has been over
the top, bar none. For us,
Terravita has been a truly
positive experience!

real estate is my passion so the two paired together
are heaven for me.
What’s new with Lisa Wadey? In recent months
I started the Lisa Wadey Elite Group, comprised of
a team of professionals who all share a common
goal; to provide the utmost professionalism,
integrity and excellent service that all of our clients
are accustomed to receiving. My team includes, an
experienced Marketing Director, Contract Specialist,
Associate Broker/Licensed Assistant and myself. Our
team works seamlessly to help make your choice of
buying and/or selling your home a positive, smooth
and enjoyable experience, and one which I believe
has led to ninety-five percent of my business being
referrals. Also, we have a robust social media and
web presence and have been continually working on
our SEO (search engine optimization) to get our
clients the maximum exposure for their properties.
Why should a home seller care if their Realtor
uses Real Estate SEO to sell their property?
Simple; according to the National Association of
Realtors over 88% of home buyers used the Internet
to find their new home. If you want to get your
property sold quickly, you need to make certain
your agent not only understands this importance
but is actively working on improving their SEO.
What are some of the things that are important
when selecting a Realtor? When selecting a
real estate agent in Scottsdale, North Scottsdale,
or Paradise Valley, strong knowledge of the
community, strong negotiation skills, and a
commitment to providing excellent service are all
crucial elements. I follow three guiding principles:
commitment, knowledge, and integrity and as such
over ninety percent of my business is referrals.
Many of my clients have become lifelong friends.
As a Realtor, do you have a specialty or forté?
With an international clientele, my forté includes
listing and buyer’s representation for estates and
land, as well as discriminating private properties
and golf communities. My real estate business
is integrated with philanthropy, which supports
numerous non-profit organizations such as
Childhelp USA, Scottsdale Healthcare, and
The First Tee.
What is your background and knowledge as
far as golf properties? I have an extensive
background in golf and golf course properties.
I am an avid golfer myself and grew up on the
golf course. My father was a golf professional for
over 42 years and I happen to be married to a
golf professional as well. Golf is in my blood and

making my knowledge and ability to gain very specific data, second to none. I believe a
successful real estate transaction is about intelligence and creativity. Giving my clients the high tech expertise and knowledge they need combined with the highest level of service they deserve, makes for a powerful combination. Visit www.ShawnShackelton.com for more information.

n 2006, my husband, Gary Ireton, had just retired for asecond time. He had a lot of time on his hands, so Isuggested we look at Mirabel. The rest, as they say,is history. We were very impressed by the stunning
Tom Fazio designed golf course, the club’s exceptionaldining experience and the active lifestyle that Mirabelpromotes with its state of theart fitness center, premier tennis facilities and spa services.But what drew us to the clubwas its intimacy and thewarmth of the members, whomade us feel so welcome.
Located in North Scottsdale, Mirabel is situatedon more than 700 acres of theSonoran Desert at an elevationof 3,000 feet. There are 348home sites with a choice ofhomes ranging in size from3000 to 11,000 square feet.
We enjoy a milder year-round Arizona climate atMirabel with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and city lights. The dramaticsunsets and star-filled night skies are a hallmark ofthis beautiful environment.
At Mirabel’s center is the 35,000 square foot, FrankLloyd Wright inspired, Desert Lodge Clubhouse, whichcould rival any five star resort or private club in terms ofambiance, activities, personalized service and fine dining.Members can enjoy dining indoors in the Grill or DiningRoom or outdoors on the fire-lit patios. Since fitness is a high priority with members, there is a very popular,comprehensive fitness facility, which was recently expanded to accommodate even more programs, classes and personal training. In addition, the Clubhouse offers a full service medi-spa and salon and a resort-size poolwith private cabanas. The championship-caliber tennisgarden, features four Har-Tru clay courts and an on-stafftennis professional offering private and group instruction.
Mirabel is probably best known for the exceptionalquality of its highly acclaimed golf course, voted “BestPrivate Club in Arizona” in 2013 by the Arizona GolfAssociation and recognized by Golfweek, GOLF Magazineand the Arizona Republic as among the nation’s bestprivate golf courses. The course’s classic game strategy,thrilling shot-making opportunities and walkabilitygive it timeless appeal. And it is one of the few privateclubs that allows private golf carts.
The outstanding amenities, friendly staff and clubintimacy, make Mirabel a very welcoming community.

So close. Yet, a world away.
That’s how members describe The Rim Golf Club in
Payson, AZ. Nestled within 555 pristine, pine-studded
acres, just below the majestic Mogollon Rim, this golf and
country club community offers members four seasons of natural
splendor, paired with luxurious amenities in a casual, yet classically
elegant environment.
Just 75 minutes
from Scottsdale
and Phoenix, the
picturesque club
provides an ideal
setting for full-time
living as well as
an easy getaway
for second home-
owners eager to tap
into the historic
region’s unparalleled
lifestyle.
“Imagine putting in a few hours at the office, yet being able
to stand on the first tee before noon. And in between you’ve
enjoyed a scenic drive, trading saguaro-strewn desert vistas
for the cool pines along the way,” observed Steve Nordstrom,
General Manager, “There are few places on the planet where that
is possible before the sun is high in the sky.”
A m i d T h e P i n e s
Set in the midst of the largest stand of Ponderosa pines in the
country, the multiple award-winning golf course gained early
accolades for its unique blend of challenge and charm.
With a land plan by Gage Davis and course design by the
famed duo of Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, newcomers are
quick to correlate why the track is so mesmerizing.
To begin, The Rim Golf Club is a fine example of the
philosophy the esteemed pair always considered a top priority;
playability. As a result, players at every level find enjoyment in
maneuvering through dramatic rock outcroppings, observing
the rich, native vegetation and approaching a green framed by
breathtaking scenery. Throughout the 7,200 yard, par 71 course,
whether challenged by water or imposing bunkers, players are
duly rewarded for a well-planned and executed golf shot.

The Rim Golf Club was the design team’s final and some
would say, ultimate collaboration. As Weiskopf observed, “The
twelve finest consecutive holes Jay and I ever designed are at
The Rim Golf Club, starting with hole number 7.”
R e l A x e d y e T R e f i n e d
After a morning or afternoon on the links, members retreat
to the structural centerpiece of the club.
Rugged yet romantic, and rich with handcrafted detail, the
extraordinary clubhouse is an inspired period revival of an
1880’s land baron’s manor. Expanding to 29,000 square feet,
the interior space includes the pro shop, locker rooms, casual
and fine dining options as well as spa facilities. An additional
10,000 square feet of outdoor terraces enable members and
their guests to move from cozy and intimate conversation areas
adorned by original art to grand spaces offering sweeping views.
The dining room’s 50-foot cascading glass wall often opens
wide to views of the 18th green and the Rim country beyond,
sweetening the experience with the scent of pine.
It is here, perhaps around one of five crackling fireplaces or
while enjoying world-class cuisine, that members share stories
of their time on the course
as well as their adventures
exploring the adjacent
recreational areas.
Tales of mountain lake
and stream fishing as well
as hiking and biking, mix
with reports from the local
rodeo or visits to the Tonto
Natural Bridge State Park
or Zane Grey’s cabin.
No matter how
members choose to spend
their day, they continue to
appreciate the liberating frontier spirit and natural beauty that
the famed Western novelist once celebrated.
m o u n T A i n l i v i n g
For those who desire to immerse themselves in The Rim
Golf Club lifestyle, there are several options to create your ideal
mountainside retreat. Build your own custom home on an
estate homesite or select from one of three beautiful Heritage
Collection at the Rim pre-designed, semi-custom home plans
created for the luxury residence lots by renowned architect
Mark Candelaria of Candelaria Designs and artfully crafted by
Rob Myer of MB Fine Homes. The model home will open in the
Spring, so prospective buyers can experience firsthand the true
beauty of The Heritage Collection at the Rim.

“The conversation has shifted in the past few years,” explained Rod Cullum, President of Cullum Homes, Inc. “Many of today’s estate buyers are looking at their total lifestyle and how they will allocate their resources – both time and money. They are interested in top quality finishes and amenities, and they aren’t interested in wasted space.”
Solution: the “jewel box” home. Smaller, yet spectacular.
Tailored for a resort and club lifestyle, The Village at Silverleaf is the newest offering within this 2,000-acre, North Scottsdale luxury enclave where custom estate home sites and intimate retreats are set against the backdrop of the McDowell Mountains.
Here, the Tom Weiskopf-designed 18-hole championship golf course loops through 7,322 yards of adjacent canyons and cactus-studded terrain, providing challenge and reward for members and their guests.
And here, unique in the marketplace, twenty semi-custom Villas and Club Cottages, constructed by Cullum Homes, will cluster within a European-style village designed to blend seamlessly with the nearby Silverleaf Clubhouse.
Home to casual fine dining, spa facilities, resort and lap pools, men’s
and women’s locker rooms and relaxing spaces from which to enjoy the stunning landscape, the 50,000 square-foot Clubhouse is the hub from which members relish the Silverleaf lifestyle.
The Village at Silverleaf homes and community will feature the same Mediterranean -inspired historic elements and furnishings that have earned the Clubhouse and its entry experience high honors.
“Our attention to detail in the design phase provides a certain timelessness and authenticity,” explained Don Ziebell, President of Oz Architects, who designed the award-winning clubhouse and has put his creative talents
to work once more for the Village at Silverleaf. “We’ll incorporate the same antique pavers, reclaimed beams and other fine finishes that create the Old World ambience and intuitive level of integrity associated with the Clubhouse.”
p r o x i m i T y & p r i V a C y
The community’s proximity to the Clubhouse, the practice facilities and the 18th green are also key.
“From a lifestyle point of view, the connectivity between the Village and the Clubhouse is very important,” explained Ziebell. “It is a pedestrian-focused environment so no one will have to get in a car or consider the walk too far. The extensive amenities offered by the club are just paces away.”
That proximity will be a multi-faceted asset for those who choose to live within the Village at Silverleaf, agrees Cullum.
“Today’s baby boomers and empty
THE VILLAGEAT SILVERLEAF
A jewel box ... Crafted with care. Rich in detail. Contents curated.
Finest GolF ProPerty | 55
nesters are less inclined to invest in an expansive home that gets used only once or twice a year,” explained Cullum. “These homes offer all the upscale amenities and the most valued spaces. Yet, when friends and family are visiting, the nearby dining, spa and other recreational facilities will be welcome options.”
While proximity to the Club’s many offerings has grand appeal, owners will also enjoy the refuge provided by their private courtyards, indoor-outdoor living spaces and stunning views of the golf course, city lights and the canyons and peaks of the McDowells looming to the east.
F l e x i b l e D e s i g n
Flexible floor plans for Club Cottages range from 2,600 to 4,500 square feet. Villas expand from 3,800 to 6,000 square feet.
During the final design and build phase, homeowners will have the option to choose how they wish to allocate their space. Individual lifestyles will dictate how bedrooms, closets and bathroom spaces are prioritized.
“Some homes will also have basements,” explained Cullum, “the concept of which has gained early accolades.”
“We believe having the option to use the space for wine cellars, game and media rooms or for storage will be very popular. Some families will be downsizing from a very large home and are not quite ready or willing to part with their family treasures.”
To enhance each individual residence, owners will also have access to the same antiquities, from European fireplaces to exquisite fixtures, that have created the elegant yet comfortable ambience within the Clubhouse, explained Ziebell.
“We believe there is pent-up demand for a high quality yet
more efficient floor plan,” he added. “One that is luxurious in detail, but also accommodates a more modern lifestyle.”
T h e s w e e T s p o T
Indeed, research indicates that modern boomers are interested in remaining a part of a multidimensional community with a vibrant cultural and recreational life.
They also report serving as the emotional and social centers of their families. Therefore, a homestead that nurtures family gatherings while providing access to stimulating pursuits, is the sweet spot.
Life at Silverleaf offers a rich diversity of activities within the club environment. In addition to the golf
and spa, members enjoy on-site access to hiking and biking trails as well as wine dinners, seasonal events and photography and art classes. At the same time, the Club is just minutes from world-class shopping,
dining, museums and professional sporting events.
s o u l s a T i s F y i n g
Architect Ziebell believes that buildings should exude a quality he describes as “soul”. To that end, his designs include centuries-old finds he believes evoke an important emotional response and provide historic “reference points that ground us.”
It could be said, those elements are the rare gems one might find in a jewel box.
