Scottsdale officials, residents and visitors have been talking about developers moving in on one of north Scottsdale’s primary undeveloped pieces of land for more than 25 years.
The land where Greasewood Flat has operated under the steady hand of the Cavalliere family since 1975 and Reata Pass Steakhouse has done business, off and on, for even longer might finally be facing a final showdown.
One of Scottsdale’s last Western-themed locations is the subject of a legal shootout over the value of the land.
The legal action was triggered by the death four years ago of George “Doc” Cavalliere, a native of Scottsdale who held on to the land until he died, eight days before his 93rd birthday.
There’s a big tax bill to pay, a line of credit to close and a group of heirs to take care of.
