The property is STR-approved and ideally located near the Empire Polo Grounds and world-class golf courses, making it a high-yield investment opportunity for festival and vacation rentals.
Offered with the flexibility to come fully furnished—including linens, kitchenware, and décor—this home allows for an immediate move-in or seamless transition into the rental market.
Located in the gated Puerta Azul, the home features 12-foot ceilings and is just steps away from two community pools, a clubhouse, and scenic greenbelts with mountain views.
The property includes only a one-car garage, which may be a significant constraint for full-time residents or large groups of guests with multiple vehicles.
The assigned elementary, middle, and high schools all carry a rating of 3/10, which could limit the property's appeal to families looking for a primary residence.
