About This Home
As of March 2026A rare and exceptional Trilogy at La Quinta Mesquite Model Pool and Spa Retreat. At 2,784 SQ FT the property boasts two Casitas on a beautifully landscaped 16,553 SQ FT estate-sized lot, just across from the Trilogy Golf Course. A hidden gem, the park-like sanctuary features lawns and pathways that wind around the home offering a variety of covered and open areas from which to play, relax and entertain. With 4-bedrooms, 4- baths, a great room, formal dining room, large office, gourmet kitchen, multiple covered patios, a two-car plus additional single-vehicle garage, the home offers plenty of room for all your most desired lifestyle needs. Guest will love the privacy of the detached Casita with full bath and kitchenette with mini-frig, sink and upper and lower cabinets with a microwave. The additional attached Casita also has a privacy entry off the courtyard, but is an extension of the main home. The property features an extraordinary backyard retreat, with mature palms, custom pavers, an oasis styled salt water pool and spa with rock waterfalls, a professional BBQ station with a bar and seating area for dining and entertaining, all wrapped into a park-like setting of brightly colored and textured desert flowers and trees. Behind the tall solid-wood front entry door, is a stone and stucco foyer that leads you to a private expansive open-air courtyard with a Pergola cover that extends between the detached Casita and main home for comfy year-round outdoor living. The main home foyer opens to a spacious great room with lofty 10-foot ceilings, arched doorways, tile on-point, crown molding, and picture windows with plantation shutters open to the backyard's park-like views. The elegant great room features handsome wood-crafted built-ins with a gas-log fireplace and surround sound for a movie theater experience. A spacious gourmet kitchen showcases quality stainless appliances, including a double-oven, an abundance of cabinet and countertop space topped with slab granite and a custom tile backsplash, a center-island with seating and pendant lighting, and a bright breakfast area. The formal dining room features a built-in breakfront with lots of storage, and is the perfect place for making new memories. A separate office off the great room is perfect for telecommuting or as a library or study. The guest bedrooms and baths are located in a separate wing from the primary bedroom.
