Desert Mountain is superb High Sonoran Desert living in north Scottsdale. Its luxury homes surround six Jack Nicklaus-designed championship courses and superlative clubhouses. The retired New Jersey natives sited their 5,700-square-foot two-level home above the community’s tough Chiricahua Tenth hole. Completed in 2016, the Desert Contemporary-style custom is the vision of Phoenix-based architectural designer Bryan Rains and was built by Scottsdale’s Phil Nichols Custom Homes. Angelica Henry and Claire Ownby, both Scottsdale, provided interior design elements. “The Clark home,” notes Rains, “is a harmony of site and structure.”
