Property is new construction or fully renovated.
While originally built in 1978, the property has been completely rebuilt and reimagined with high-end Santa Barbara architectural influences and modern infrastructure. The interior features pristine vaulted wood-beam ceilings, custom millwork, and premium terracotta tile flooring throughout.

Positioned on the 8th fairway of the La Quinta Country Club, the property offers a rare triple-threat view of the lake, golf course, and mountains, providing a level of serenity and privacy seldom found in the desert.
Completely reimagined with Barry Berkus influence, the residence features high-end Santa Barbara design, custom millwork, and modern infrastructure that far exceeds the quality of standard area renovations.
The layout utilizes a central courtyard, custom French doors, and a covered veranda to create a seamless connection between the elegant interiors and the pool and fairway environments, ideal for high-end entertaining.
The original detached casita has been incorporated into the garage and storage space; while it can be re-established, it currently lacks the immediate 'turn-key' private guest house many luxury buyers expect.
With a $3.25M price point and monthly association fees of $853, the ongoing cost of ownership is substantial, particularly for a property with a three-bedroom configuration.
