Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2007, this property is well within the 10-20 year age range for a 'good' condition rating and appears move-in ready. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and contemporary stone countertops. The interior features updated flooring, modern light fixtures, and well-maintained bathrooms with dual sinks and separate soaking tubs. While the property is highly maintained and features recent cosmetic updates, it does not meet the 'excellent' criteria of being a new build or a total top-to-bottom renovation within the last 5 years.
Located in a community fully authorized for short-term rentals, this property offers a rare and lucrative opportunity for investors to generate high-yield income in a sought-after destination.
Considered the ultimate location within Legacy Villas, the home features sweeping, unobstructed views of the Santa Rosa Mountains and is situated immediately adjacent to the world-class La Quinta Resort.
The property provides access to an unparalleled suite of amenities, including 12 saltwater pools, 11 spas, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an 11,000 sq. ft. clubhouse with an on-site seasonal restaurant.
The association fee of $965 per month is substantial, which may deter some buyers and impacts the overall net return on investment for rental purposes.
The current list price of $1,275,000 represents a significant jump from its 2020 sale price of $505,000, which could lead to appraisal challenges or concerns regarding market-peak valuation.
