East Mesa House | Private 2.5-Acre Retreat with Lush Palms, Pool, Play Train & Tortoises

1 Bedroom House in East Mesa, Mesa

Private 2.5-Acre Retreat with Pool, Train & Tortoises
Escape to a private desert casita on 2.5 acres with palms, aloe, and mountain views. Enjoy a pool, hot tub, playground, grill, patio, and even a child-sized train. Inside, find a newly remodeled space with two queen beds, sofa bed, full kitchen, and washer/dryer. A family of red-foot tortoises lives onsite & loves leftover veggies! With its quiet setting, private entrance, and incredible stargazing, this is a one-of-a-kind Arizona retreat. Just three houses from the vast Tonto National Forest—larger than Yellowstone—you’ll feel immersed in the Arizona wilderness while still enjoying the comforts of home.
The property is alive with nature. In spring, hummingbirds flock to the thousands of aloe vera blooms and will often zip right up to greet you—sometimes even following guests around the garden. At night, you may hear coyotes howling in the distance, while javelinas, desert quail, and other native creatures wander across the land. For those who love adventure, bring a blacklight and discover the glowing scorpions that make their home in the desert.
The grounds are lush with life: over 300 palms create a tropical oasis around the sparkling, fenced pool—ranging from towering California palms to rare and exotic varieties. Cacti, succulents, and flowering plants add to the beauty, while a living ocotillo fence frames the casita. In winter, you’re welcome to pick fresh citrus straight from our lemon, orange, and grapefruit trees.
Almost completely surrounded by mountains, the property offers sweeping views and an unmatched sense of privacy. This is not a subdivision—you’ll discover the quiet, unspoiled spirit of old Arizona here, with the desert and its wildlife as your closest neighbors.
