The Location

Buckeye, Arizona.

01  /  The Site

One hundred twenty acres. Sixty of them are already water.

The property sits just outside Buckeye, Arizona. At the center of it is a sixty acre private lake, river fed, with established water infrastructure already in place. In the Sonoran Desert that is a rare and valuable resource, and one that would be difficult to replicate. Most surf resorts start with raw desert and build a body of water from nothing. Hidden Lake starts with one, on land that is secured with no ground lease.

Federally managed BLM land runs along the boundary and carries a trail system down to the Gila River, a permanent open space buffer. The lake also has a life of its own: fishing, weddings and waterfront gatherings have been happening on this shoreline for years.

This isn't a rendering.

Sixty acres of private water, already here. Most surf projects begin with raw desert. Hidden Lake begins with a lake.

02  /  The City

Then Buckeye grew around it.

Buckeye is the largest city in Arizona by land area and has ranked among the fastest-growing cities in the country for years. The master-planned communities, employment corridors, and new infrastructure going up right now are not somewhere across the valley. They are being built on the land immediately surrounding this site. The growth came to us.

A dream site.

Hidden Lake Surf Resort will be built on a beautiful property in one of the fastest growing cities in America, in a state that welcomes what we're building, with a city that wants it here. The approvals are in place. It sits within an Opportunity Zone, wrapped around a sixty acre natural lake and sitting on a separate groundwater supply plentiful enough to serve the resort, 30 miles from Phoenix and the five million people in the regional trade area.
