Country Home is bringing high style to the high desert this year with the opening of its Sonoran Desert Dream Home at Superstition Mountain. The home, a modern, handsome take on classic country, features a great-room kitchen with professional series appliances, an outdoor kitchen terrace for year-round entertaining, and an observation deck for taking in the Arizona sunset and following action on the Nicklaus-designed Prospector Golf Course, home to the LPGA’s Safeway International Golf Tournament. The house will open to the public to coincide with the tournament on March 13 and will be open through March 26. For information, go to www.countryhome.com.
