Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Exclusivity: Situated in the prestigious Ironwood Country Club, a historic and exclusive community in South Palm Desert, minutes from El Paseo.
Custom New Build Opportunity: A rare chance to construct a brand-new, personalized luxury home on one of the community's last original parcels.
Panoramic Mountain Views: The elevated homesite offers breathtaking panoramic mountain views, providing a stunning backdrop.
Advanced Project Readiness: The homesite is mostly approved with a detailed 3,983 sq. ft. Desert Modern design by Bob Tyler, and experienced luxury builders are available, streamlining the construction process.
Generous Elevated Lot: An approximately 1/2 acre elevated homesite provides ample space for the planned luxury residence, pool, and entertainment areas.

Cons

Significant Additional Investment Required: The $4.25M list price is for the land and approved plans; substantial additional capital and time will be needed to complete construction.
Not Move-In Ready: This is a build-to-suit opportunity, requiring the buyer to manage or oversee the construction phase rather than purchasing a completed home.
Ongoing HOA Fees: The property is subject to monthly association fees of $266, adding to the recurring cost of ownership.
