Resort-Style Outdoor Living: Boasts a terraced patio with pool/spa, multiple sundecks, expansive Trex decking with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen/bar, and a lower deck gazebo lounge, ideal for entertaining and relaxation.

Desirable Community & Location: Situated in Nellie Gail Ranch with low HOA fees covering security and extensive amenities (swim, tennis, pickleball, trails), plus convenient access to freeways, top schools, shopping, and beaches.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1982, the property is 42 years old. While significant upgrades are noted, some original elements or systems not explicitly mentioned may require future attention or appear dated to certain buyers.
High Maintenance Demands: The nearly half-acre lot with extensive landscaping, pool, spa, and multiple outdoor entertainment areas, while luxurious, will necessitate considerable ongoing maintenance time and financial investment.
Niche Buyer Pool: The custom, large-scale, and equestrian-zoned nature, coupled with its high price point, targets a very specific luxury buyer demographic, potentially limiting market appeal and sales velocity.
