Welcome

Welcome to our web site for Goldfield Ranch homeowners and land owners.  We’re glad you are here!  

 

Whether you’re looking for current events in Goldfield, newsletters, and dates for HOA meetings, our history or newcomer information, you’ve come to the right place.  We think you’ll find our site pretty comprehensive.  Of course, anytime you’d like, you’re also welcome to contact us personally.  

 

Goldfield Ranch sits on the eastern slope of the lower Verde River Basin surrounded by Tonto National Forest.  The views here are nothing less than spectacular, and the desert solitude is the single greatest attraction to our area.  Outstanding views are our hallmark.  Beautiful homes are scattered among the rolling desert hills and natural unadulterated Sonoran desert surrounded by Four Peaks, the Superstitions and the McDowell Mountains.  Dirt roads that wind through the nearly 5,000 acres of Goldfield Ranch lead to almost 90 remote horse properties and spacious custom homes far from the Valley’s bustle.

 

 

OUR MISSION

Our association was formed to protect and promote the best interests of the residents of the area; to promote and strive for the improvement and betterment of all public facilities and services within the area; to protect and enhance the property value of the homeowners’ properties; to promote and encourage a better community and civic spirit and to foster good will and friendship between and among all residents of the area.  We are a voluntary group, formed in 1995, to provide a forum for discussion and development of action plans to improve life on the Ranch.

 

 

GRHA has accomplished a lot this year

  • Click here to view the Minutes from the GRHA Board of Directors April 2009 Meeting

  • On March 24, 2009, in a community meeting hosted by the Goldfield Ranch Homeowners’ Association, Grayhawk Development presented their preliminary plans to develop parcels 13 and 14 in phase III (80 acres between The Preserve and the 600 acres of Yavapai Nation privately owned land).  Click here to view GRHA’s response.

  • The GPOA (Goldfield Property Owners Association) just received a list of requirements and processes which the County maintains would be necessary in order to pave Goldfield Ranch roads.  Click here to see the County requirements.  As you will see, the requirements are very stringent.   They are both unworkable and unmanageable.   Under the criteria laid out (e.g., approval by each and every property owner underlying the roadway easement and requirement that individual permits be issued for each parcel), it would be fundamentally impossible to accomplish our goal. Because GRHA realizes how important road improvement (ideally, paving) is to Goldfield Ranch residents’ health, safety and well-being, we are exploring other avenues for accomplishing this goal.

  • Thank you to all those neighbors who helped with the 11th annual Goldfield Ranch Clean-up Day on 2/28/09.  All of Goldfield thanks you!

  • Congratulations to newly elected Board Members, Greg Calvin, Scott Erkelens, David Smith and alternate, Karl Mann.  We appreciate your willingness and desire to serve our community!

  • Click here to view the Minutes from the GRHA Annual Meeting January 22, 2009. 

  • The GRHA Holiday party on 12/14/08 was a huge success with well over 100 neighbors in attendance.  Russ Thompson’s band, Marty & Debbi White’s bonfire & hospitality, Al Glenister’s ready fire truck, Suzanne & John Splettstoesser’s horse rides for the kids and Santa’s arrival all made for a great time and many happy neighbor memories.  GRHA plans on making this an annual event with many exciting additions next year!  Thank you all for coming!

  • The five members of the GPOA Board of Directors retained their seats for another year with no opposition at the 12/16/08 annual meeting.  Thank you to GPOA Board member, Art Reichsfeld and his road committee members, Tom Parsons and Bob Waldo for doing their best to maintain our roads while we wait out the legal road blocks of our future paving plans.

  • The Goldfield Ranch Homeowners’ Association special meeting was held on 11/29/07 at 7pm in the home of Virgil and Ann Dutton.  Please click here to read the Minutes from the Special Meeting.

  • Over the past year, the Goldfield Ranch Homeowners Association Board of Directors (GRHA) has had the opportunity to communicate with the representatives of the Goldfield Preserve Development, L.L.C. and Mr. Don Kile on many occasions.   We have had numerous telephone conversations, emails, and face-to-face meetings.  During these discussions, we have sought to reach common ground.  We would like to see the Preserve be a viable, healthy addition to our community, while at the same time, not causing irreparable damage to the rural lifestyle that the current residents of Goldfield Ranch enjoy.  On 10/17/07 the GRHA BOD had a  meeting with the Goldfield Preserve Development representatives, that lasted almost three hours, they addressed a list of 26 of our concerns (click here).  Almost all of these issues were resolved in a manner that we deemed favorable.  Because of the developer's willingness to hear and respond to our needs we can give the Development Master Plan Amendment for the Preserve at Goldfield Ranch a “qualified endorsement.”  The qualification exists because, although agreed to in principle, our areas of concern have been resolved only on paper.  As the Preserve project progresses and things become more concrete, we are confident that the outcome will be workable for both parties.  (click here to see the GRHA letter to Maricopa County Senior Planner, John Verdugo). 

  • We schedule bi-annual membership meetings and provide our annual Goldfield Ranch Address and Phone Directory to members in good standing.

  • The history of Goldfield Ranch as seen through newspaper clippings in a scrapbook is now available for you to peruse.  If interested, contact Gina Waldo on our contact page.

  • We now have an Outdoor Community Message Board installed by the 195 entrance.  If you need an announcement posted, contact a GRHA Board member.

  • The GRHA Board of Directors never stop working for the betterment of Goldfield.  Please go to our “Newsletter” page to see how many hours of volunteer time they contribute to Goldfield Ranch!
