About This Home

As of January 2025

IMMEDIATE GOLF MEMBERSHIP AT CLOSE OF ESCROW! Architecturally designed by the late, John Rattenbury of Taliesin Architects, this remarkable home is a work of art in the ''Wright Style.'' A classic example of ''organic architecture,'' the home nestles into the site becoming a natural part of the land.
The design of the living area is based on space flow rather than an arrangement of rooms. Located in the private golf and recreation community of Desert Highlands with world class community amenities including the Jack Nicklaus Signature 18 hole golf course, an award winning tennis facility, an owners club house with fine and casual restaurants and a state of the art fitness center.
