So many families are eager to purchase real estate in Scottsdale, Arizona, that there must be a pretty good reason why. One prominent reason is the wide range of indoor and outdoor activities available.
As you may know Scottsdale became home to the world famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1937. Wright built Taliesin West, his winter abode, studio and architectural school in the beautiful Sonoran Desert, shaded by the McDowell Mountains.
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. The breathtaking gardens, terraces, and walkways that are so much a part of the Music Pavilion, Cabaret Theater, Wright’s office, and Kiva, provide amazing views of the valley and rocky desert below, and are points of interest on some of the available tours.
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.
