About this home

For many desert lovers and golfers, it doesn't get much better than this wonderful 4742 sqft, 4 bdrm + 1 office/optional bdrm, 5 bath that includes a detached guest house, 4 car garage & huge swimming pool. Ultra-premium lot on the 10th hole directly across from the De Anza Country Club. The lot and setting are simply sensational-this extra special lot was held over 30 years for future club development before they finally agreed to sell it. Beautiful wide-open views of the manicured tree-lined 10th green & spectacular majestic mountain ranges! Serenity in nature! A choice, special lot across from the country club that was not part of the general plan which included 262 lots recorded in YR 1956. It was held by the De Anza Country Club at that time for future development. The Country Club ended up finally offering the lot for sale for residential development in the 1980s.  Thank you in advance! The De Anza Country Club's new owners have transformed it financially in terms of its balance sheet. The front entry gate and walkway frames a first glimpse at the golf course through the living room. The house is shielded from the street by a gate and set behind a large swimming pool to the left. Dramatic high ceilings in the living room and cathedral ceilings in several other rooms; and, a deep front covered patio/porch that extends the length of the house from the entry area to the end of the guest house along the pool. The main house has two roof mounted photovoltaic solar systems and a separate swamp cooler/system. An attached trellis frames the backyard and extends 40 feet in width. An indoor sauna & Jacuzzi tub, separate RV covered parking and shed are included. Two newer air conditioning systems and ducting, entire inside painted a couple of years ago. An open-plan providing good flow of light and the space and, it is easy to interact with people in different rooms. The main house has 2 bdrms, office, large entry, 3 ba, living room w/f.p. & two sliding glass doors, family room, dining room, enclosed sunroom, kitchen, breakfast area, laundry room. The guest house has 2 bdrms, 2 ba & living room w/ kitchenette. Let's just say that you want to make a great first impression that really counts. The gracious foyer makes an inviting first impression upon entering this expansive De Anza Golf Estates home. And, all on one level. Step-by-step, and then immediate-it's hard not to be captivated by the view from dawn to dusk. A choice of where to sit, in the front to enjoy the pool and mountains or in back for the golf course and mountain range. At night look up in the sky. The master bedroom suite includes a vaulted ceiling, a wall lined with windows, his and her large walk-in closets, sauna, an office or optional bedroom; a sun-drenched Jacuzzi bath, sitting area, separate shower, dual sinks, and a view. Main house bedroom with view of backyard, country club and, golf course through 9' wide sliding/stationary glass doors. Elegant, high-ceilinged, and shares a patio and a pergola that frames the view of the beautiful lush green tree-lined fairway.

Built in 1991, this property shows signs of being well-maintained with some significant updates like newer AC systems, solar panels, and recent interior paint. However, the kitchen, with its light oak cabinets, white tile countertops, and older appliances (especially the cooktop and built-in oven/microwave), is notably dated. The bathrooms, based on visible elements, also appear to be original or from an older renovation, featuring standard 90s finishes. While functional, these key areas would require substantial aesthetic updates to meet current market expectations and styles. The tile flooring throughout, while durable, also contributes to an aged appearance. The property is livable and functional but requires significant cosmetic updates in the kitchen and bathrooms.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location & Views: Situated on an ultra-premium lot directly across from the De Anza Country Club's 10th hole, offering stunning, wide-open views of the manicured golf course, majestic mountain ranges, and serene desert nature.
Extensive Amenities & Features: Boasts a detached guest house, 4-car garage, huge swimming pool, indoor sauna, Jacuzzi tub, separate RV covered parking, and dramatic high/cathedral ceilings, providing luxurious living and entertainment options.
Energy Efficiency & Recent Updates: Equipped with two roof-mounted photovoltaic solar systems, two newer air conditioning systems with updated ducting, and a recently painted interior, enhancing comfort and reducing operational costs.
Spacious & Functional Layout: A generous 4742 sqft, 4 bedrooms plus an office/optional bedroom, 5 baths, and an open-plan design on one level, ensuring excellent flow, abundant natural light, and ease of interaction between spaces.
Unique & Historic Lot Value: The lot itself is a rare find, having been held by the De Anza Country Club for over 30 years for future development, indicating its exceptional and strategic value within the community.

Cons

Significant Price Appreciation: The current list price of $1,900,000 represents a substantial increase from its original list price of $989,500, which may raise questions about market valuation or previous pricing strategy for potential buyers.
Mixed Cooling Systems: While newer AC systems are present, the mention of a 'separate swamp cooler/system' alongside them could imply a mix of older and newer cooling technologies, potentially leading to varied efficiency or comfort levels across the large property.
Niche Market Appeal: Located in Borrego Springs, the property's primary appeal is to 'desert lovers and golfers,' which, while strong for that demographic, may limit the overall pool of potential buyers compared to more broadly appealing locations.
