Ancala’s Interesting Story
A unique bit of Ancala history. A portion of the land where the beautiful homes of Ancala welcome visitors from around the world was once owned by the late, great architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Mr. Wright’s1937 vision of homes on these mountainside perches was as, “”butterflies alighting on a rock.”” His vision and the land for Ancala was named after a garden in Scotland. What other great North Scottsdale golf community has a ‘name’ linked to Scotland? Feel free to call me for the answer.
At the time, Mr. Wright found the land now known as Ancala in what was an undeveloped area north of Scottsdale, off (then unpaved) Shea Boulevard at the base of the McDowell Mountains. The price was $12.50 an acre. Some sources say he paid as little as $3.50 per acre. Oh, those were the days… if only … Today Ancala stretches over 800 acres across the beautiful Sonoran desert with homes ranging from the $600K’s to well over $4 million.

Desert Mountain Review ![]()
Real Estate Observations. Real estate/ Homes for sale are plentiful in Desert Mountain with over a hundred homes for sale at any given time. And with a nearly 20% turnover in residents each year, plan ahead if you buy here. Although the community is very nice, it is quite a drive from the actual center of Scottsdale so often times buyers love the idea of the tranquility but decide to sell their home after missing the easy access to more restaurants and the city of Scottsdale. So homes that are for sale here typically take a year or more to sell… and two years is not unheard of.
Desert Mountain is essentially a luxurious version of a Sun City Retirement Community, where all the amenities are “in house”, so perfect for buyers looking for that retirement type lifestyle in pretty and more spacious surroundings.

Looking for an attractive luxury home, in a spacious Scottsdale community that is a good ‘value in luxury living’. With this purpose in mind, Saguaro Estates and Saguaro Highland Homes for sale are highly recommended homes to view and consider. Wondering why these fine homes are a “”value””? Let’s consider. Comparing Saguaro Highlands and Saguaro Estates to other luxury communities in Scottsdale. There are two primary reasons. #1 Although these are beautiful homes. #2. On large lots #3. Many with resort quality backyards, a treat for any family, they are not truly custom homes. The homes were designed and built by Toll Brothers (a production builder) with a select number of floor plans available. Secondly the Saguaro communities are attractive but do not offer the striking views, amenities and neighborhood ambiance of, for example, the truly custom luxury communities of Estancia, Silverleaf or Troon North. However, both these communities are my pick for Top 3 Best Value – Luxury Communities in Scottsdale.
Here is a text review of Saguaro Estates from a dear client of mine Mr T.H who purchased in a club community. Re: Saguaro Estates – “” Pass. Seems really nice but the neighborhood is sleepy. One Tennis court and no clubhouse etc. Pass””

More military personnel began moving into the Mesa area in the early 1940s with the opening of Falcon Field and Williams Field airports.
