Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2006, this 18-year-old home is well within the 'Good' category. The kitchen features functional stainless steel appliances and granite countertops that appear original but well-maintained. Recent updates to flooring in the bedrooms and a clean, move-in ready interior indicate excellent upkeep. Systems are age-appropriate and functional.
All three bedrooms feature en suite bathrooms, including a casita-style room with a private entrance, providing excellent privacy for multi-generational living or seasonal guests.
The architectural design centers around a private courtyard and a spacious backyard with mountain views, creating a perfect environment for desert-style entertaining and relaxation.
The property includes a rare three-car garage with a dedicated bay for a golf cart or bonus storage, a highly desirable feature in a resort-oriented community like La Quinta.
While the lot is sized for one, the lack of an existing pool in a desert climate requires the buyer to invest additional capital and time into construction to maximize the home's utility.
The assigned public schools for this address currently hold low ratings (3/10), which may limit the property's appeal to families prioritizing high-performing educational districts.
Designed for comfortable desert living and effortless entertaining, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers 2,782 square feet of living space on an 8,712-square-foot lot in the gated community of Rancho Santana.

The courtyard is also accessible from the family room and second bedroom, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection throughout the home. The open-concept great room features abundant natural light, a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry, and a wet bar that's perfect for entertaining. All three bedrooms include en suite bathrooms, including a casita-style bedroom with its own private entrance, making it ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or a home office. The backyard features a covered patio with plenty of room to add a pool and create your own private oasis. At this attractive price point, adding a pool is an excellent opportunity to enhance both your lifestyle and the home's long-term value. A digital rendering of a possible pool design is included in the photo gallery to help buyers envision the backyard's full potential.
