FLORENCE — A future “eco resort” displaying the desert’s natural beauty just south of the Superstition Mountains received rezoning and related approvals April 24 from the Pinal County Board of Supervisors.
Tela Peralta, which aspires to be “the best small luxury eco-friendly resort in the world,” according to the owners, will be on 125 acres at the end of Gold Rush Road near the county’s Peralta Regional Park.
Owners Amy and Mike Doyle have already been hosting weddings with temporary use permits. Chuck and Judy Backus, Amy’s parents, originally bought the land. They now plan to work with luxury resort operators to preserve the desert and offer guests a special experience of the Superstitions, according to their presentation to the board.
The owners eliminated an amphitheater and gun range from their plans in response to community comments, attorney Jordan Rose told the board.
