Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1965 (59 years old) with no evidence of renovation. The listing explicitly states it is a 'complete fixer upper' and 'ideal for builders.' Interior photos show a gutted, non-functional kitchen and significant neglect, meeting the criteria for an unlivable property where value is primarily in the land.
Priced competitively at $330,000, this property represents a prime entry-level opportunity for builders and investors to flip or rebuild in a sought-after desert community.
Situated in the scenic La Quinta Cove, the property offers residents close proximity to world-class hiking trails, the Santa Rosa Mountains, and the amenities of Old Town La Quinta.
The home is conveniently located within a mile of multiple elementary schools, including Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, making it an attractive location for future family-oriented buyers.
Marketed as a 'complete fixer-upper' in 'as-is' condition, the property will require a substantial capital injection to address its 1965-era structure and systems.
As a probate sale, the transaction may be subject to court confirmation and potentially longer closing timelines, which can be a deterrent for buyers seeking a quick move-in.
