Property Description
Step back in time and discover a remarkable piece of Nevada history with the Charles Arthur Hughes Homestead, built in 1923 and rooted in the earliest days of Mesquite's settlement.
This extraordinary residence is more than a home—it is a living connection to the pioneers who helped establish the Virgin Valley community.
Charles Arthur Hughes was a member of one of Mesquite's earliest settler families. He and his wife, Orilla, originally raised their 13 children in a modest, single-room dwelling built on this very property around 1901. As their family grew, they constructed the home that stands today, using adobe and blocks handcrafted on-site from clay gathered near the local cemetery. In a remarkable example of pioneer resourcefulness, lumber from the original family home was salvaged and incorporated into the roof of the new residence.
More than 100 years later, this historic homestead remains a testament to the craftsmanship, determination, and ingenuity of Mesquite's early residents.
Recognized as Historic Site #17 on the City of Mesquite's Historical Walking Tour, the property offers a rare connection to the community's heritage. The Hughes family played an important role in Mesquite's formative years, and their name remains part of the city's identity today.
Set on approximately 0.35 acres, the single-story residence offers approximately 1,642 square feet, with three bedrooms, one bathroom, and the distinctive character of early Southwestern construction.
For buyers who appreciate history, authentic architecture, and properties with a story to tell, the Charles Arthur Hughes Homestead presents a truly special opportunity.
Homes can be built. History cannot be recreated. Own a remarkable chapter of Mesquite's past and become part of its future.
