About This Home
As of March 2025A truly spectacular blend of authentic desert contemporary design and sophisticated modern architecture set on a magical 6.5 acre saguaro studded lot backing to the National Forest. Originally built in 1961 with natural stone quarried from the property, the current stewards of this timeless beauty embarked on a journey to transform and recreate this Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home into a true desert modern masterpiece with none other than Mike Franks, master builder with La Quinta Homes. Armed with exquisite good taste, a dream design team and a healthy budget, the end result is nothing short of amazing. As you enter the private gates and meander up the winding driveway, you are greeted by the most beautiful desert landscaping you've ever seen! The grounds were perfected by Tom Black
