Cons

Potential for High Maintenance Costs: The expansive 1.3-acre lot, massive pool, orchard, and extensive landscaping will likely require significant ongoing time and financial investment for upkeep.
Original Construction Year (1971): Despite recent remodels, the core structure dates back to 1971, which may imply older foundational systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical not explicitly updated) that could require future attention or upgrades.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has seen a price reduction from its original listing, which could indicate initial overpricing or a slower-than-anticipated market response, potentially impacting perceived value.
