LIFE AT BELLA TERRA
Life at Bella Terra is about embracing what the present can bring by valuing what the past built. Here we seek to respect the home’s history and apply those influences to our current life. Our journey began with restoring and rejuvenating the grandeur of this house and property in Phoenix, Arizona. Our unfolding story includes graceful moments of entertaining to harvesting fruit from the orchard. The goal is to live life with authenticity, while serving as stewards to cherish and protect its charm and history. Life at Bella Terra is not only about preserving the past, but also embracing the value of life’s experiences with family and friends within the settings of this unique and historic estate.
