Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1958, this 600-square-foot cottage is well-maintained and habitable but features dated finishes and basic appliances. While the kitchen and bathroom are functional, they lack modern upgrades. The property appears to be kept up through regular maintenance, though its age and size suggest it may eventually serve as a guest house or be replaced by a larger estate given the high land value.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • High Available Lot Utilization

    The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 217800, living area = 600.

  • Expansive Acreage and Privacy

    The property features 5 scenic acres in the exclusive Cahuilla Hills community, offering ultimate seclusion and a tranquil desert setting that is rare for the area.

  • Prime South Palm Desert Location

    Perfectly positioned just minutes from El Paseo's luxury shopping and dining, as well as prestigious clubs like Bighorn and The Reserve, blending rural privacy with high-end convenience.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Limited Living Space

    The existing structure is only 600 square feet, which may be too small for most buyers and likely positions the property as a teardown or a secondary guest house for a future build.

  • High Price per Square Foot

    With a $1 million list price for a 1-bedroom home built in 1958, the value is almost entirely in the land, which may require a specific buyer looking for a development opportunity.
