Built in 1948, this property is an aged estate. While the kitchen appears to have received some updates with functional appliances and light wood cabinetry, it's not a recent high-end renovation. The bathroom, however, is significantly outdated with pink fixtures and marble-look tiles, indicating a strong need for aesthetic renovation. The property is maintained but requires substantial updates to key interior areas to meet modern standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Historical Significance & Unique Charm: This property is an iconic mid-century estate in the historic B Bar-H Ranch, offering an authentic ranch era vibe and unique architectural character.
Versatile Use Potential: The estate's layout and size make it highly adaptable for various uses, including a private residence, family vacation villa, event venue, or vacation rentals.
Multiple Structures & Accommodations: Comprising a main house (divided into two living areas with separate kitchens) and three guest cottages, it offers extensive private accommodations for multiple families or guests.
Expansive Acreage & Privacy: Situated on over 2 acres (92,347 sqft), the property provides significant space, privacy, and potential for additional landscaping or amenities.
Generous Living Space: With 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and 8,380 sqft of living space, the property can comfortably host large groups or multi-generational families.
Cons
Age-Related Maintenance & System Updates: Built in 1948, the property's age suggests potential for significant investment required in updating older systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) and ongoing maintenance.
High Operating Costs: A large estate with multiple structures and extensive acreage in a desert climate will likely incur substantial utility costs (especially for cooling) and general upkeep expenses.
Zoning/Permitting for Commercial Use: While advertised for events and vacation rentals, its classification as a 'Single Family Residence' may present challenges or require specific permitting/zoning changes for commercial operations, which could be a hurdle for potential investors.
