Subdivision Spotlight
Gainey Ranch
Gainey Ranch is located in the heart
of Scottsdale. Bordered by Eastwood
Lane on the south, Mountain View on
the north, Scottsdale Road on the west
and Hayden Road on the east, Gainey
Ranch has a distinctive European flair
with small village type communities
each with their own heated pool and
homeowners associations. At the center
of the master planned developments
are the Hyatt Resort Hotel, executive
offices, retail and Three Nine hole golf
courses.
All this came to be when the employees
of a Minnesota department store
presented their owner, Daniel C.
Gainey, with a yearling Arabian Colt.
Mr. Gainey was so enamored with the
horse he moved it to a 640 acre section
of land in the unincorporated town of
Scottsdale, Arizona. Over the next four
decades Gainey Ranch became highly
respected in Arabian circles, developing
their own pedigree “The Gainey
Foundation Arabian Horse.”
In 1980, the Gainey family sold all
but 80 acres which they retained for
their purebred Angus cattle. Many
local residents remember fondly these
beautiful Black Angus specimens
grazing peacefully along Scottsdale
Road south of DoubleTree as this world
class destination grew up around them.
It wasn’t until 1995 that this last parcel
was sold to make way for the shops at
Gainey and the Gainey Suites hotel.
Today Gainey Ranch has approximately
1000 residents secured behind high
walls and accessed only through private
guard gates. Residences range from
condos to golf villas to sprawling
estates.
