Come for the land. Stay for the lifestyle. Keep the tortoise. 🐢
5127 W Dobbins Rd is more than just a beautiful Laveen property on over an acre — it's a full desert experience, complete with fruit trees, a custom shop, space to roam... and a tortoise named Vato (which means ''Dude'' — yes, this home comes with a dude!).
Vato the tortoise has been living the good life here — grazing on Bermuda grass, clover, purple flowers, even weeds and lettuce. He's part of the family, and the current owners are hoping the next lucky buyer will let him keep cruising the yard he calls home.
Inside you'll find:
4 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms
A bonus loft-style office tucked privately off the primary suite — ideal for work-from-home or quiet thinking space Outside highlights include:
Fresh exterior paint & lighting
Full perimeter fencing with new motorized gate + remote
Handcrafted wooden gazebo (2023) with full plumbing & electrical
Irrigated lot with 7 mature pecan trees, lemon, mulberry, grapefruit trees, aloe, and nopal plants
RV parking in front + additional space in back
The detached shop is ready for work or hobbies:
Big rig & car access with vehicle lift
2 outbuildings with AC and fully insulated. Perfect for home schooling, yoga studio, office, extra guest space
Water and electric hookups
Some equipment negotiable
Zoned for farm use and loaded with potential, this property offers privacy, flexibility and a built-in buddy with a shell.
