Mediterranean Mesa
Perched in the scenic foothills of Silverleaf, Mediterranean Mesa blends timeless Mediterranean architecture with the raw beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
This formal estate offers sweeping views of the valley below and unforgettable desert sunsets, making its landscape an extension of its refined surroundings.
Having previously collaborated with the homeowners on another property in the same exclusive community, Enchanted Garden Landscape entered this project with a deep understanding of their aesthetic preferences and lifestyle. From the earliest stages of design, the relationship was highly collaborative—every element was thoughtfully planned with an emphasis on authenticity, longevity, and natural elegance.
The design intent centered around honoring the site’s existing character. Mature specimen plants were carefully preserved, while native trees—particularly large, sculptural Ironwoods—were introduced with precision to create natural screening, establish focal points, and define the arrival experience.

Strategically contoured terrain and native boulders were incorporated to echo the desert’s rugged beauty, providing a seamless transition between formal Mediterranean elements and the organic desert context. This nuanced approach allowed the landscape to feel established, grounded, and native to its environment.
Enchanted Garden Landscape led the project’s comprehensive scope, including conceptual design, on-site supervision, irrigation planning, and lighting integration. Our team also curated and installed statement fountains and pottery to enhance the architecture’s timeless elegance.
The result is a serene desert oasis—sophisticated, sustainable, and deeply rooted in its place.
