Location | Hidden Lake Surf Resort

01 / The Site

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

The property sits just outside Buckeye, Arizona, and the lake at the center of it is not proposed. It is there today: sixty acres of private, river-fed water with established water infrastructure in place. In the Sonoran Desert that is a valuable and rare 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. The land is owned, not optioned.

The land is bordered by federally managed BLM public land with a connected trail system running along the Gila River, so the open space around the site is protected rather than pending. And the lake already has a life of its own. Fishing, weddings, and waterfront gatherings have been happening on this shoreline for years, before a single thing was built.

The Lake Today

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. We did not move toward the growth. It came to us.

What is being built around the site

Communities, corridors, and infrastructure now under way in the immediate area.

Teravalis: the Howard Hughes master-planned community taking shape in the West Valley, at the scale shown above.
Belmont Smart City: a planned technology-forward community on land assembled in the West Phoenix area, envisioned around advanced infrastructure and tens of thousands of homes.
Verrado: one of metro Phoenix's largest and most established suburban communities, with a major new mixed-use marketplace opening at its edge.
Buckeye Tech Corridor: a large master-planned data-center campus advancing with city support, bringing jobs and infrastructure to the area.
Buckeye Municipal Airport: supporting private and charter traffic today, with a long-term master plan positioning it for future growth.

Largest city by land area

Buckeye covers more ground than any other city in Arizona, with room to keep growing outward.

Among the fastest growing

Consistently ranked among the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. since 2017.

Opportunity Zone

The property is located within a federal Opportunity Zone.

03 / The Metro

Forty minutes from five million people.

The site is roughly 37 miles from downtown Phoenix and about 40 minutes from Sky Harbor, one of the busiest airports in the country. Within a 90-minute drive there are some five million people, a metro that draws tens of millions of visitors a year for spring training, golf, and winter sun.

That combination is the point. A destination like this needs a large resident population close enough for a Saturday, a visitor economy already arriving by the millions, and a climate that keeps the water usable in every season. Phoenix supplies all three.

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, 37 miles from Phoenix and its five million people.
