Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property features a 1960s-built residence that appears to be maintained through regular upkeep but is significantly outdated. The lack of interior images of the kitchen and bathrooms, combined with the fact that it has been held by the same owner for 40 years, suggests the interior components are aged and show signs of being outdated. The primary value of this listing lies in the 3.54-acre lot, ocean views, and extensive equestrian facilities rather than the condition of the primary structure.
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 = 154202, living area = 2770.
- Great Schools
Elementary School: La Costa Heights Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10).
- Rare Coastal Acreage
Spanning 3.54 acres just two miles from Moonlight Beach, this property offers an exceptionally rare combination of significant land size and coastal proximity in a highly desirable Encinitas location.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 2.
- Dated Primary Structure
Built in 1960, the existing 2,770 sqft residence likely requires significant modernization or a complete rebuild to align with the luxury expectations of a $10M price point.
- High Price-to-Square-Footage Ratio
The $9.95M asking price is heavily weighted toward the land value and equestrian amenities, which may be a deterrent for buyers seeking a move-in ready mansion of comparable scale.
