Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1975 with a kitchen renovation that appears to be 15-25 years old (oak cabinetry and granite). While the electrical panel is recently updated, the listing explicitly states the home needs new flooring, paint, and bathroom updates, making it a dated but functional property requiring minor repairs.
The north-facing residence features an expansive balcony with panoramic views of the lakes, mountains, and golf course, accessible from every bedroom and the main living area.
Unlike many properties in the Coachella Valley, this home is situated on fee land, meaning the owner holds full title to the land with no monthly land lease payments.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully remodeled with warm oak cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, providing a solid foundation for the home's interior.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =3049, other record lot size in square feet = 2504.
The property requires updates to the flooring, paint, and bathrooms to bring it up to modern luxury standards and maximize its market value.
At $1,638 per month, the HOA dues are significant, which may impact the budget of some buyers despite covering several major utilities and amenities.

Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, part-time retreat, or investment in one of the desert's most unique communities, this home delivers both comfort and potential.Unlike many desert properties, this residence is located on fee land, meaning you own the land outright with no land lease payments.Desert Island is a private island oasis in the heart of the Coachella Valley, surrounded by water, fairways, and panoramic mountain views.
