Resort-style living in a gated 55+ community in Mesa. Inside the gates of Hacienda de Valencia you get a pool, spa, clubhouse, fitness center, shuffleboard courts, a dog park for the four-legged residents and a calendar of community activities. Someone else skims the pool. Your only job is bringing a towel. This 1981 Great Northern comes furnished. Its double-thick walls, reportedly made in Colorado, help keep the noise out and the temperature steady all year. It has new flooring and a new central air unit (both 2022), 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a covered front porch, a two-car tandem carport, a storage shed and a finished Arizona room (added 2023) with its own mini-split AC, which in a Mesa August is less a feature and more a survival strategy. Inside, the split plan puts the primary suite and its walk-in closet on one side and the guest bedroom on the other, with wood-look flooring tying it together. The kitchen has a range, refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave, and there is an inside laundry room. The home is 960 sq ft per the Assessor, and the Arizona room is not counted in that number. The AZ room is long and finished, with plank flooring, a beadboard ceiling, windows and an exterior door, and it works as a second living room, a dining space or a den. Out back, the yard is unlandscaped, so it is yours to plant however you like. Hacienda de Valencia is an age-restricted 55+ community, with RV storage on site (availability and fees through park management). This is a land-lease community: you own the home, and the park leases you the lot, so the park must approve every buyer before closing.
