The property was built in 1989, making it 35 years old. While it appears well-maintained structurally and offers desirable features like owned solar panels and mountain views, the interior shows significant signs of its age. The kitchen features dated wood-trim cabinets, tile countertops, and older black appliances, requiring a full renovation to meet modern standards. Other areas, such as the living room with its dated carpet, ceiling fan, and the wet bar with mirrored backsplash, also reflect a late 80s/early 90s aesthetic. The home is functional but requires substantial cosmetic updates to flooring, fixtures, kitchen, and bathrooms.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Stunning Mountain Views & Outdoor Space: The property boasts wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and majestic backyard views from delightful patios, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and outdoor living experience.
Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings: Equipped with 20 owned solar panels, the unit offers significant energy efficiency, reducing utility costs and contributing to a lower carbon footprint.
Enhanced Privacy: As an end unit elevated above its adjacent neighbor, the property provides superior privacy compared to typical condominium units.
Unique Desert Lifestyle & Community Amenities: Located in Borrego Springs, an International Dark Sky Community surrounded by Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, it offers a tranquil, rustic desert experience with access to extensive recreational activities and a growing cultural center with modern amenities.
Recent Price Reduction & Value: The property has seen a significant price reduction from its original list price of $375,000 to $325,000, potentially offering an attractive value proposition for buyers.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The association fee of $876.0 is substantial and represents a significant ongoing monthly expense that potential buyers must factor into their budget.
Remote Location & Accessibility: The community's remote nature, being 'miles away from the nearest stoplight' and a considerable drive from major cities like San Diego or Palm Springs, may not appeal to those seeking urban conveniences or frequent city access.
Extreme Summer Climate: As a 'low desert' location, Borrego Springs experiences extremely hot summer temperatures, which could be a significant challenge for year-round residents despite its appeal as a winter resort.
