Tucked back from the street with a front-row view of Camelback Mountain’s north face, this historical hacienda’s gardens are a study in the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert. The waterwise landscape is varied and experiential, and includes water features, salvaged native trees, cacti, succulents and grasses that move with the breeze. With its numerous paths and moments of beauty, this garden celebrates and savors the serenity of the land.
