PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Exclusive & Historic Location

    A rare opportunity to build in the prestigious Ironwood Country Club, on one of the community's last original parcels with historical significance (once owned by Bing Crosby), and minutes from El Paseo.

  • Panoramic Mountain Views

    The elevated approximately 1-acre homesite offers stunning panoramic mountain views as a picturesque backdrop.

  • Customizable Brand-New Construction

    Provides the unique chance to personalize and build a brand-new, high-end custom home to the buyer's exact specifications.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Future Construction Required

    The property is a homesite for a future build (year built 2026), meaning the buyer will incur significant construction time, costs, and project management responsibilities beyond the initial land purchase.

  • High Investment Cost

    The list price of $4.95 million represents a substantial initial investment, which will be further increased by the considerable costs of custom home construction.

  • Ongoing Association Fees

    Monthly association fees of $266 contribute to the recurring ownership costs, which should be factored into the overall budget.
