Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1995, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready but features original Mediterranean styling that is now over 30 years old. While the kitchen features high-end appliances, the bathrooms retain dated tiled countertops and drop-in sinks, and the home features extensive Saltillo tile flooring and 90s-era cabinetry. It meets the 'fair' criteria as an aged home maintained through regular upkeep but showing clear signs of being outdated without a recent major renovation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 43720, living area = 5216.
The property offers immediate access to a Desert Highlands golf membership at closing, providing entry into a prestigious 'Platinum Club of America' with world-class amenities including a Jack Nicklaus championship course.
In addition to the main residence, the estate features two separate multi-room casitas, offering exceptional privacy and flexible living arrangements for long-term guests or multi-generational families.
A mandatory $205,000 membership fee is due at closing, which, combined with a $2,050 monthly association fee, represents a significant financial barrier and ongoing overhead.
Built in 1995, the property may require additional investment to update 30-year-old interior finishes or mechanical systems to meet the expectations of modern luxury buyers.
