About Desert Mountain

Desert Mountain is an 8,300-acre community offering custom home sites, estates, and courtyard homes. The master plan was designed by Taliesin Associated Architects and founded by Frank Lloyd Wright. This community has grown from its origins as Carefree Ranch, discovered by developer Lyle Anderson in the early 1980s. Lyle's partnership with Jack Nicklaus led to the creation of the Renegade course, the first of six Nicklaus-designed courses. The community also features the No. 7 course, an executive par-54 course. Desert Mountain is known for its high-end amenities and world-class golf courses.
