Luxury Outdoor Amenities: A highly usable nearly 15,000 sq ft lot features a large swimming pool, spa, gardening beds, and mature fruit trees, creating a private, resort-like oasis perfect for entertaining.
Premium Features & Privacy: Located within a gated community, the home includes high-end amenities such as a true four-car oversized garage, whole-home water filtration, electric car fast charging, and electronic bidets, enhancing comfort, convenience, and exclusivity.
Desirable Location & Schools: Situated in the prestigious La Costa area of Carlsbad, offering convenient access to amenities and benefiting from highly-rated public schools (ratings of 7 and 8 for nearby elementary, middle, and high schools).

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The property incurs a significant monthly association fee of $380, which adds to the ongoing cost of ownership and should be factored into a buyer's budget.
Extensive Maintenance Requirements: The sheer size of the estate, including a substantial lot, large pool, spa, and landscaping, implies considerable ongoing maintenance efforts and associated costs for upkeep.
Luxury Price Point & Market Sensitivity: Positioned at a high luxury price point ($3.688M, reduced from $3.888M), which may appeal to a more limited buyer pool and suggests the initial pricing was ambitious, indicating market sensitivity.
