Rare opportunity for the design-oriented, ecoconscious buyer to own this renowned residence integrated seamlessly with the natural Sonoran Desert flora and granite boulder strewn side of Troon Mountain. Constructed of steel, concrete, stone, and glass, this showstopper stuns with its extensive use of ''green'' technology and jawdropping views of the Valley and mountain ranges. The five, cast in place, hexagonal concrete structures are set at several different levels on the five-acre cul-de-sac lot. Keeping with its luxury setting, the home is loaded with nicely appointed finishes and architectural details.

Bloom
One of the most glorious privileges of living in Arizona is reveling in the month of March. Gorgeous spring is in full effect, bringing sun-drenched days and a jewel-toned sky so blue it might easily be mistaken for some kind of highdefinition, digital magic. A walk through the scenic desert verifies that indeed, spring has sprung. From the pitter patter of desert creatures scurrying about, to the lush green carpet of grasses, germinating annual and revived perennials, the washes and dry hills begin to come alive with color.
Sonoran Desert wildflowers are truly a gift for our senses this time of the year. The pops of vivid color deliver a kind of softness to the harsh desert, and the various blooming species are always a seasonal sight not to be missed! This year, with the abundant rainfall we had from a series of Pacific weather systems in December and January, nature is expected to give us quite a show! There are areas in Arizona that are known for a spectacular wildflower display. Picacho Peak State Park tends to explode with bright orange Mexican poppies and

a colorful assortment of desert marigold and brittlebrush. Lost Dutchman State Park at the base of the dramatic Superstition Mountains boasts abundant color, with chuparosa and globemallows blooming. If you take a drive along US 60 towards Globe, you can make a stop at Boyce Thompson Arboretum – a lovely botanical garden that strives to delight visitors with a dramatic display of wildflowers. Plus, you’re also likely to see a mix of wildflowers carpeting the roadside along the way. Wildflower viewing can be tricky. While it would be convenient for Mother Nature to adhere to a schedule, the displays will change from year-to-year, even weekto-week. And, areas that are exploding with color can abruptly change due to climate shifts. To really make the best of your wildflower tours, plan to check in with a couple of resources. Arizona State Parks has created a RangerCam (head to AZStateParks.com) for up-to-theminute images of the wildflower displays in several locations. Desert Botanical Garden (click on dbg.org/wildflowers) offers a Wildflower Infosite in which they collaborate with parks and gardens all over the state to provide an ever-changing guide to where the best wildflower viewing is.
Just north of Jomax Road, off of Alma School Road, Taylor Morrison’s new Ironhorse community will offer a fine selection of homes from the Summit Collection. Set in an idyllic location in Arizona’s high Sonoran Desert near McDowell Mountain Regional Park, the North Scottsdale community is surrounded by open desert. Here, residents awaken to the rich, natural landscape unique to the area with majestic saguaro cacti and charming summer poppy. A sharp eye can catch sight of the Harris hawk, Gambel’s quail, and the great horned owl, and evenings watching Arizona’s stunning sunsets are rewarded with spectacular, stellar-filled night skies. Taylor Morrison’s Summit Collection at Ironhorse includes three brand new floorplans: the Blanca, the Crestone and the Windom. Offering between 2,778 and 3,396 square feet of living space, this new home collection delivers distinctive homes with beautiful architectural features that make this community a must-see. Ironhorse offers the best of Scottsdale living with upscale shopping at El Pedregal and Kierland Commons, great local dining at Talavera, Pane e Vino Ristorante, Mastro’s Steakhouse and Market Street Kitchen, and a variety of entertainment venues, from the exciting nightlife available in Downtown Scottsdale to concerts at Talking Stick Resort.

The old adage “bring the outdoors in” has changed. Now more than ever homeowners are striving to “bring the indoors out”! In today’s modern aesthetic, comfort and convenience have become expected in the outdoor environment. Not only is a comfortable, inviting yet functional space important, this part of your living space must be as much a part of you and your home as your interior décor. Since we spend much of our time outdoors here in the Valley, it is expected to reflect you and your lifestyle. Seating groupings that include sofas, chairs, cocktail tables and accessories are an extension of these indoor spaces.

Chef Matt Carter (you may know him from Zinc Bistro) has given the well-loved Old Town Scottsdale establishment The Mission, a sister eatery at Kierland Commons. The restaurants are revered for their sophisticated yet casual ambiance: think Old World charm mingling with a sexy, modern aesthetic. The inventive menu is a fusion of Latin cuisines, blending tastes from Spain, South America, Central America and Mexico. Diners love the meat preparation, all of which are cooked on a grill using pecan and mesquite woods for intense flavor. TheMissionAZ.com
As for materials, the mix of soft metals, tone-on-tone fabrics and finishes, and soft neutrals with a pop of color can create a calm, sophisticated effect. To really personalize your outdoor décor, repurpose interesting objects that you may already have. Think “unexpected”, and your outdoor living spaces will come to life!
