Scottsdale Desert Homes
ByPeople are avidly seeking property in the Scottsdale, Arizona area for many reasons. Here’s one: there’s so much to do, whether your lifestyle leans towards indoor luxuries or outdoor amenities.
For example, internationally renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright came to Scottsdale in 1937 and purchased what was then barren real estate. Naming what would be become his home, studio and architectural campus Taliesin West, he built in northeast Scottsdale near the McDowell Mountains and in the lush high desert of Sonora.
Wright’s legendary vision still attracts people to Taliesin West to see Wright’s embodied plans and architectural wisdom. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has made many renovations to Taliesin West over the years, giving guests the opportunity to view Wright’s private home which has been restored inside and out to its original appearance.
Taliesin West tours allow guests to witness the architect’s integration of inside and outside space regularly in tours lasting from one to three hours. Interested visitors may choose among tours of the Cabaret Theater, the Music Pavilion or the Wright’s office which are connected via gardens, terraces and paths with views of the vivid desert and valley nearby.
One of the loveliest of Scottsdale’s resort properties, Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa, also reflects Wright’s unique architectural vision according the the Scottsdale Convention and Visitors’ Bureau. Along with Wright’s influence, this extravagant resort boasts a past that includes many well known Hollywood visitors.
Vernon Swaback, a former student of Wright’s, also has left an indelible mark on Scottsdale’s real estate landscape. He spent more than two decades studying and working at Taliesin West and over the years has been involved in the design of award-winning hotels, office buildings, recreational facilities and custom homes throughout the Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and Phoenix metropolitan area.
