Lot 2004 Call for Pricing 2 Bed 2 Bath Prime lot on Cactus Garden
What If Your Arizona Home Could Help Pay You to Own It?
Welcome to Lot 2004 at Monte Vista, an extraordinary opportunity where resort-style Arizona living meets proven income-producing potential. Perfectly positioned along the exclusive Cactus Garden, this is one of just 11 homes bordering this special section of the community, offering an unusually large lot, private garden access, and an outdoor setting the owners have transformed into a true Arizona oasis.
Designed to make the most of our incredible winter weather, the living room opens to the backyard through a dramatic wall of sliding glass doors, blending indoor and outdoor living while showcasing the beautiful garden setting. The split floorplan offers privacy for owners and guests, with a spacious guest bedroom and an impressive primary retreat featuring an ensuite bath with dual sinks, a custom tub/shower, abundant closet space, its own sliding door to the backyard, and a private balcony.
Three individual mini-split systems provide added comfort and efficiency, allowing each bedroom to be temperature-controlled independently from the main living area.
But what truly sets this home apart is what it can do when you’re not here.
The property is currently professionally managed as a furnished rental, commanding approximately $4,000 per month during peak season and $3,000 per month during the off-season, with strong rental activity throughout much of the year. Existing rental contracts transfer to the new owner at closing, creating the opportunity to step into an established rental operation rather than starting from scratch.
Spend your favorite months enjoying your private Arizona retreat, then allow the property to generate income while you’re away. Whether you’re looking for a winter escape, an investment, or a little of both, Lot 2004 offers something rarely found in Monte Vista:
An exceptional home. An irreplaceable location. And the opportunity for your Arizona lifestyle to help pay for itself.
