The View From the Top

 

As I mentioned yesterday, we had another hill to climb to get to this last house on the tour.  This is the hill and this one had no shuttle.  We had to climb this one on foot.  And if we wanted to go further, we could even climb up the the tennis court above this hill.  You can see the fence surrounding the court in the upper left of this photo.



The view from up this high was quite stunning.  We had a full view of Camelback Mountain along with the rooftops of thousands of houses in between.  

In order to get to the pool and garden area, it required descending a little way along a set of stairs.  I decided it was enough to see this area from above.












As you can see, the house itself sits right on the mountainside giving sweeping views across Phoenix and the valley below.  

So that sums up another home and garden tour.  It seems like there is always at least one house on these tours that surprises everyone.  With this house and all its animals clinging to side of the mountain, this one was this year's surprise.

I have always been fascinated by the houses on the mountains, this one is a lot of stairs.

They must have to drive everywhere, Sharon. Or they are very fit.

That IS a pretty amazing view. I like the sunshade over the patio, too.

Way too much money is being wasted on these monstrosities.
