Location: Mesa, Greater Phoenix Area, Arizona, USA (Less Than Half Hour from Airport, Scottsdale, Tempe.)
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms + Loft, 4 Baths (Sleeps 8-12)
Nestled in the foothills surrounding Phoenix, your vacation home offers the true desert experience while still close to city conveniences . Situated on over 1 acre of highly desirable desert uplands, the Santa Fe style home is over 3400 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths.
The Master Suite has a king bed, two person Jacuzzi tub, and walk-in stone shower. Double doors open to the pool area. The second bedroom has a king bed with pool views and is next to a huge bathroom with separate tub and walk-in stone shower. The third bedroom is set up as a bedroom/home theater combo. It is a large room with two extra long twin beds with an elevated level behind featuring theater style seating with arm rests and cupholders. The front of the room has a big screen tv with 5 speaker surround sound system. Kids absolutely love this room! They have their own private theater complete with toys and games. This room can also be set up as a king bed and is very comfortable for adult guests as well. The fourth bedroom has a Queen bed. The upstairs loft is equipped with 2 very comfortable queen futons with upgraded innerspring mattress and its own private bath. We also have two additional futons which can be set up the huge master bedroom or loft to increase sleeping arrangements up to 12. We can even bring in additional futons at a nominal cost and have had as many as 16 guests sleep comfortably in the home. With 3400 square feet there is plenty of room to spread around. Some adventurous guests have even set the futons outside on the large covered patio upstairs for a night of twinkling stars and city light views.
The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops with huge island, Knotty alder cabinets and chefs cookware and appliances. The chef in the family will still be part of the action as the kitchen overlooks the huge greatroom with log ceiling, stone fireplace, 60 inch HDTV and a southwest feel. Out the greatroom door is the private backyard oasis with a huge heated, saltwater pool featuring a waterfall, 8 person hot tub and swim up bar with in-pool seating for 4 all surrounded by palm trees, tropical plants and beautiful desert and mountain views. We back up to a desert preserve so there are no homes directly behind the backyard. Connected to the swim up bar is a covered sunken gazebo with pool side seating, bbq, sink, fridge and satellite tv.
Back in the house, the second floor is a large loft with pool table, games, satellite TVs and lots of windows to enjoy the views. The second floor also features over 1500 sq ft of covered and uncovered decks with 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains, beautiful sunsets and the most amazing city light views at night.
With all of the privacy and beautiful desert living we are still less than 30 minutes from downtown Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe (an eclectic college town with lots of shops and restaurants), 2 hours from Sedona, Prescott, or Jerome (a cool and funky artist community built on the side of a mountain outside of Sedona that is well worth a visit), 15 minutes to cubs spring training, 30 minutes to most other spring training facilities and 4 1/2 hours to the Grand Canyon. We have numerous hiking and biking trails nearby, and of course we are surrounded by some of the worlds best golf courses. There is a lake 20 minutes away offering boat rentals, fishing and breathtaking desert mountain scenery. The beautiful White Mountains and Mogollon Rim are a 2 hour drive with more lakes, creeks, and Indian ruins.
The Neighborhood: Mesa is a suburb of Phoenix. Our home is in a very safe area of town. It is a community of modest to luxury custom homes on 1 or more acres that almost has a rural feel to it even though we are close to the city conveniences. The freeway is about 5 minutes away to quickly get you anywhere you want to go. There are great restaurants and bars within 5 minutes of the house. The desert is all around you and it is not unusual to see wildlife such as rabbits, quail, hawks, falcons, great horned owls, and at night you may hear the lonely sounds of the coyotes howling to one another as you sit on the deck admiring the star filled sky.
