Into the Great Wide Open
In Arizona
Southwestern Style Meets Outdoor Ambiance

What do you picture when you think of Arizona? If you're like most folks, the first image that springs to mind is the one that gave rise to the state's nickname, ‘The Grand Canyon State.' Indeed, Arizona is home to the infamous Grand Canyon, as well as to the vibrant red rocks of Sedona, the towering sandstone spires of Monument Valley, and the ancient Saguaro cacti whose creamy, yellow-centered blossoms open only at night. It's the land of Tombstone and the OK Corral, of prospectors hoping to strike it rich, saloons with batwing doors, and hardened cowboys shooting it out in the dusty streets. And it is so much more.

Monte Vista Ranch
Classic Western Architecture in Wickenburg
No trip to Arizona would be complete without a visit to an authentic dude ranch. Just an hour from Phoenix, the small town of Wickenburg, which has four stoplights and no parking meters, boasts a singular claim to fame: It was once known as the ‘Dude Ranch Capital of the World.' Today, there are several guest ranches that offer city slickers the opportunity to channel their inner cowperson, including the Flying E Ranch, Ranchos de Los Caballeros and the Kay El Bar Ranch, which has been welcoming visitors since 1926. Modern-day Wickenburg features galleries, restaurants, golf and shops alongside a historic downtown where the Old West comes alive.

Located in the midst of all that Wickenburg has to offer is the incomparable community of Monte Vista Ranch, designed by renowned architectural designer Bob Bacon. Under gorgeous blue skies, surrounded by an expanse of desert, Monte Vista features classic Western Ranch architecture with weathered wooden beams, natural stone veneers, mudded tile roofs with exposed flashing, firepits and firepots, hammered copper countertops, denim-stained concrete floors, reclaimed antique oak floors and even bathtubs hand-carved out of mammoth granite boulders. In the spirit of the authentic Western Ranch, many natural elements, such as stone, copper and wood, are incorporated into each home. { Read More... }
