Beauty Of The Scottsdale Desert

There are a number of reasons that Scottsdale

, Arizona homes, land and real estate are so highly sought after by families. One reason may have to do with always finding something to interest you, whether you would rather stay indoors or spend your time out of the house.

In 1937, the world famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, bought some of Scottsdale's undeveloped 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. Tourists can tour the private residence where Wright once lived, along with the rest of Taliesin West, which has been completely restored to it's original state, by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

Ranging from one to three hours, tours of Taliesin West are offered on a regular basis, allowing visitors to experience firsthand Wright's heralded ability to integrate indoor and outdoor living spaces. Depending on the tour you select, you can visit the Cabaret Theater, Music Pavilion, Kiva and Frank Lloyd Wright's office, all of which are linked by dramatic terraces, gardens and walkways overlooking the rugged desert and the valley below.

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. Here at this premier resort you will discover a history of not only a link to the Wright legacy, but of Hollywood celebrities who have made this their getaway over the years

Another who influenced the architectural design of Scottsdale was a former student of Frank Lloyd Wright's by the name of Vernon Swaback. Swaback helped design and build award-winning custom homes, hotels, office buildings and recreational areas in the Paradise Valley, Phoenix and Scottsdale areas in the two decades he spent at Taliesin West.
