Superstition Mountain

What Superstition Mountain's governing documents say

Superstition Mountain is a master-planned community in Gold Canyon, AZ, governed by a Master Declaration and separate Tract Declarations for each village (Golden Eagle, Cottonwood, Greythorn, Sunset). This excerpt covers the master framework and village-specific rules for single-family custom homes, with the developer retaining significant control until build-out. The documents bind all lot owners and are relevant for current homeowners, buyers, and renters.

• Land use & development: All villages are zoned Single Family Residential. Each lot has a Building Envelope (maximum developable area) set by Design Guidelines. Minimum residence sizes vary by village: 4,000 sq ft in Cottonwood, 3,000 sq ft in Greythorn, 2,500 sq ft in Sunset; Golden Eagle does not specify a minimum in this excerpt.
• Architectural & design review: All construction, alterations, and landscaping must be approved by a Design Review Committee (DRC) per the Master Declaration and village-specific Design Guidelines. The DRC has sole discretion and can allow smaller structures for good cause.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The Association maintains Common Areas (village shared tracts and master community areas) as Common Expenses. For Golden Eagle Village, the Association also performs periodic exterior maintenance on lots (repainting, restaining, landscaping outside enclosed patios, exterior lighting) as a Village Expense. The Association is not responsible for major repairs (e.g., structural, roof) unless deemed minor.
• Golf course easements & encroachments: Lots and common areas adjacent to the golf course are subject to easements for golf facilities (utility lines, cart paths, irrigation, temporary tournament structures). The golf course owner must maintain improvements within easements. Encroachments are permitted, and an easement exists for them as long as they persist.
• Village governance & assessments: Each village may have an Advisory Committee (at least 50 lots conveyed) to advise the Association, but decisions remain with the Board. Village-specific assessments (Village Expenses) are levied by the Board in addition to Base and Capital Improvement Assessments. Initial village assessments may be zero until established.
• Declarant's reserved rights: The Declarant (developer) retains extensive rights, including control of the Association until transition, revegetation and grading on lots before construction, annexation of additional property, and exemption from certain restrictions. Declarant's liability is limited per Section 18.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is partial; many details from the Master Declaration (e.g., full assessment formulas, specific pet or leasing rules, insurance requirements, amendment procedures) are not included. Complete rules require reading the entire Master Declaration and applicable village tract declaration.
