History

Established in 1987.

Desert Mountain started as 8,000 acres nestled against the Tonto National Forest in North Scottsdale. From the beginning the concept was to create an extraordinary development that was in total harmony with the land. Teaming with Rattenberg and other Taliesen architects, Anderson started the process. There were hundreds of walks on the property. Photos and notes were taken. There were endless discussions about land use, residential density, commercial applications, open space, plant and animal life. The vision was simple: Desert Mountain was to become an exceptional community where people from around the world would aspire to live.
