Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1988 (36 years old), the home is well-maintained but dated. While the kitchen has been refreshed with granite countertops and newer stainless steel appliances, the overall interior—including the carpet, fireplace tile, and cabinetry—reflects its age. The listing description explicitly identifies the property as a foundation for a new owner's vision, indicating a need for modernization.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 12632, living area = 2198.
Situated in the prestigious South Palm Desert foothills near El Paseo, this property offers an elite lifestyle with remarkably low monthly HOA dues of just $150.
The oversized 12,600+ sqft lot features an elevated, secluded backyard with a Pebble Tec pool, spa, and mountain views, providing exceptional privacy from neighbors.
Having been under the same ownership for 21 years, the interior is described as a 'foundation' for a new vision, suggesting that significant cosmetic updates are needed to meet modern standards.
As one of the smaller residences in the Vista Paseo neighborhood, the 2,200 sqft layout may lack the scale desired by buyers looking for the larger estates typically found in this gated enclave.
Major Price Reduction! Seller Says Sell it! So let's make that happen. Situated in the low foothills of scenic South Palm Desert, this intimate 85-home gated community called Vista Paseo reflects quiet elegance and a relaxed desert lifestyle. Just minutes from mountain hiking trails and the renowned boutiques and restaurants of El Paseo, as well as everyday conveniences like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, the location could not be more ideal. Low HOA dues of only $150 per month are an added attraction, and homes in this community rarely come on the market. One of the smaller and more approachable homes in the neighborhood, this three-bedroom, three-bath residence offers approximately 2,200 square feet of comfortable living space and has been lovingly cared for by its current owners for the past 21 years. As they prepare to move closer to family, a wonderful opportunity opens for the next owner to make this special home their own. Nestled on a generous 12,600 square-foot lot that provides exceptional privacy, the property offers a tranquil escape surrounded by palm trees, mountain views, and the soothing sounds of a Pebble Tec pool with bubbling spa. Sitting above and hidden from any immediate neighbors, the backyard is a peaceful setting for relaxing and enjoying the quiet beauty of the desert environment. Inside, the home provides an inviting foundation ready for a new owner's personal style and vision. The dramatic 18-foot high walls in the living room with clerestory windows create a striking backdrop for large-scale art, sculpture, or a gallery wall, enhancing the sense of openness and light throughout the space. The floor plan is designed for both comfort and entertaining, with a spacious covered patio that serves beautifully for outdoor gatherings or as an additional living area during the cooler months. Security shutters on all windows provide peace of mind when you're gone, while the backyard -- especially in the evenings with the misters running -- becomes a serene retreat under the desert sky. Lovingly maintained and offering the chance to update or personalize over time, this home combines privacy, location, and potential in one of South Palm Desert's most desirable gated communities.
