Cave Creek is a North Valley town where desert parcels tend to be larger and the streets less gridded than in the metro core. Its namesake creek runs through Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area at the town's northern end, where Maricopa County Parks and Recreation manages trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding along a creek that flows through the winter months. Cave Creek homes for sale include ranch properties, custom desert homes and lots with room for outbuildings. For horse-ready properties specifically, try the North Valley horse property search, and read the Cave Creek community guide for more on the town.
