A desert home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Phoenix has sold for $7.25 million.

Known as the David and Gladys Wright House, it was completed in 1952 and is considered by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to be the architect's last residential masterpiece.

Titled “How to Live in the Southwest,” in the plans by Frank Lloyd Wright, the David & Gladys Wright House is one of three spiral designs realized by Wright and the precursor to the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.

 Raised on columns to provide a view of the property’s citrus orchard, the house at the base of Camelback Mountain looks outward towards the surrounding desert and inwards onto a central courtyard with a plunge pool and shaded garden.

The main residence also looks out at a one-bedroom guest house (pictured below).

Custom-designed concrete-block details on the exterior and a fully conceived interior space create a residence that is considered Wright’s last residential masterpiece.

David and Gladys Wright lived in the house until their deaths (David in 1997 at the age of 102, and Gladys in 2008 at the age of 104), after which the residence fell into disrepair.

In 2012, the home faced threats of demolition, prompting Las Vegas attorney Zach Rawling to swoop in and save the home.

Rawling originally intended to turn it into a museum, but following neighbor complaints about potential noise and traffic, listed the home in 2018 for $12.95 million.

After two years on the market, the home sold for $7.25 million this month to Benson Botsford LLC. CEO Jim Benson plans to preserve its original architecture in partnership with architects Bing Hu and Wenchin Shi.
