Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1989, this property shows signs of being well-maintained but largely retains its original character and features. The kitchen, in particular, is dated with white appliances, laminate countertops, and white cabinets with wood trim, suggesting it has not been extensively renovated in the last 25-30 years. While the bedroom features more modern wood-look tile flooring, the main living areas have older, large-format tile. A significant drawback is the apparent lack of central air conditioning, which is a major system update needed for the Borrego Springs climate. The property is functional but requires minor updates and modernization, especially in the kitchen and potentially for cooling systems, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prestigious Gated Community: Located within Rams Hill, a highly regarded gated community featuring an award-winning Tom Fazio designed golf course, offering an exclusive lifestyle.
Well-Maintained Property: Described as 'nicely maintained,' suggesting the home is in good condition and potentially move-in ready for its age.
Charming Interior Features: Includes a cozy wood-burning fireplace and high ceilings, adding character and a sense of spaciousness to the living area.
Outdoor Enjoyment & Night Skies: Features a private patio area perfect for morning coffee and enjoying the renowned beautiful night skies of Borrego Springs, a unique local attraction.
Accessible Price Point: With a list price of $185,000, it offers a relatively affordable entry into a desirable resort-style community.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fees: The $627.0 monthly association fee is substantial for a 1-bedroom unit, significantly increasing the overall cost of ownership.
Limited Living Space: At 818 sqft with 1 bedroom and 1 bath, the property offers limited space, which may restrict its appeal to a smaller demographic of buyers (e.g., singles, couples, vacation home seekers).
Potential for Outdated Systems/No AC: Built in 1989, the property may have older systems. Crucially, there is no mention of a cooling system (e.g., central AC), which is a significant drawback in the hot Borrego Springs climate.
