There is simply nothing like it. Anywhere. Originally built for the Kellogg family as a retreat for their executives to escape the brutal midwestern winter. The Casa Blanca Inn welcomed winter visitors for decades. An oasis in the desert in the shadow of Camelback Mountain. Close enough to everything but just far enough to feel like you are a world apart. 3 community pools. Tennis and pickle ball courts. Rose gardens and fountain. Cactus gardens. Palm trees sway. Manicured desert landscaping. Historic architecture. Indoor / Outdoor living. Plenty of guest parking. Peace and solitude. Nature abounds. 24-hour manned security gate. This is a rare opportunity to find yourself in an historic community that you will truly be proud to be a part of. There is only one Casa Blanca. Here is a brief history of Casa Blanca: An Arizona Treasure! " Casa Blanca was first conceived in 1936 as a ranch hacienda by David Kellogg of Buffalo, New York, heir to the Spencer Kellogg and Sons manufacturing fortune. Built by architect R.T. "Bob" Evans at the base of Camelback Mountain, the adobe brick home featured Mexican tiles and carved woodwork. " In 1944, Kellogg sold the home to George Borg, of Borg-Warner Co., who renamed the residence Casa Blanca and added the now-iconic onion dome above the living room, conferring instant landmark status within the burgeoning residential communities of Paradise Valley and Scottsdale. Borg built a number of cottages around the grounds to accommodate his many guests, along with an airstrip, riding stable, pool and extensive gardens. In 1953, Borg hired a hotel management company and converted the property into a resort. " In 1958, the management company, in partnership with contractors, purchased the resort from Borg and divided the property into a residential community and expanded resort, which was frequented by many famous guests, including Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Charlie Chaplin, Betty Grable and President Dwight Eisenhower. The domed room became an elegant restaurant known as The Sultan's Table. In 1967, the property was sold to hotelier Bernard McDonough. " Ramada Inns purchased Casa Blanca in 1971 and conducted extensive remodeling, but in 1981, it was sold to Great Western Development, which converted the resort into a residential community, creating 37 residences with 32 different floor plans. The original domed abode was restored and converted into a private residence. The dome now serves as a focal point for the entire community. The central rose garden remains, linking the various residences with walking paths. In 1984, 38 more townhomes, a lap pool and a cactus garden were added.
