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.
