FLORENCE — A state land auction near some of the most lucrative residential real estate in the region opened Wednesday with lowest possible legal price and only four bidders.

When the gavel came down a little more than an hour later, two homebuilders had pushed the purchase price of the southeast Valley land to more than three times the appraised value of $68 million.

Texas-based D.R. Horton cast the winning bid of $245.5 million for the tract known as the Superstition Vistas. Located just east of the Maricopa County line, it is a 270-square-mile parcel bigger than Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe and most of Chandler combined.
