Cowboy's Delight

Cowboy's Delight: Arizona

Share this Sonoran Desert retreat with family and friends. Located in the North Ranch neighbourhood of Scottsdale, just a couple of miles from Kierland Commons, this mid-century-style home is the perfect spot to come home to after a day spent out on the golf course (there are close to 200 in the area), hiking up the iconic Camelback Mountain or experiencing culture and art in Phoenix – both are approximately a twenty-minute drive away.

Inside, the open-plan living area combines elegant exotic woods, stylish furniture and comfy seating space to create a sociable hub that's a pleasure to spend time in. Meanwhile, the bedrooms utilise fresh green hues that help you relax and unwind before bed.

Enjoy quiet desert mornings out on the poolside patio with an invigorating cup of coffee, and that might be as far as you get. We could quite happily while away entire days hanging by the pool, only getting up for refreshing dips and drink refills.

Architecture aficionados might like to drive twenty minutes into Scottsdale and seek out some of Frank Lloyd Wright's mid-century marvels, while history buffs should wander the saloon-lined streets of the Old Town for a taste of life on the frontier.
