More Insights

Built in 1978 (48 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1978, is described as 'meticulously maintained' and features significant modern updates. The apartment units showcase updated kitchens with stainless steel appliances, modern vanities in bathrooms, and mini-split AC units, indicating renovations within the last 5-15 years. The main house kitchen and living area (images 9 & 10), while potentially a rendering or highly staged, depict a very recent and extensive renovation with modern appliances, granite countertops, and new flooring. While the entire 1978 structure may not have undergone a full recent renovation, the visible updates in key areas, combined with the overall excellent condition of the expansive estate and modern sustainable systems (solar, well), make it move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, aligning well with a 'Good' condition score.

Cons

Age of Main Residence: Built in 1978, the main residence, despite being meticulously maintained, may feature older systems or finishes that could require future updates or renovations to meet modern luxury standards.
Maintenance Demands of Large Estate: A 7.23-acre property with a private lake, extensive landscaping, multiple structures, and complex utility systems (solar, well, irrigation) will necessitate significant ongoing maintenance and operational costs.
Ambiguous Square Footage: The listed 3536 sqft for an 8-bed, 9-bath property with multiple structures (main house, commercial property, two apartments) is likely only for the main residence, potentially understating the total usable living space and requiring clarification for buyers.
