Condition Rating
Poor
The property was built in 1958, making it 66 years old. The MLS description does not mention any renovations, and critically, there are no interior images provided to assess the condition of the kitchen, bathroom, or other living spaces. For a home of this age, it is highly probable that the interior components, including kitchen appliances, light fixtures, flooring, and potentially cooling/heating systems and electrical devices, are severely outdated or nearing the end of their lifespan, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet current standards. The high list price suggests the value is primarily in the 5-acre land and its exclusive location, rather than the small, aging structure itself. Without any evidence of significant updates, the property likely falls into the 'poor' category, requiring major investment to become comfortable and functional by modern standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Expansive Private Acreage: The property boasts 5 scenic acres (217,800 sqft), offering unparalleled privacy and tranquility, a highly sought-after feature in the Palm Desert area.
Panoramic Views: Features breathtaking panoramic views including City Lights, Desert, Golf Course, Hills, and Mountains, significantly enhancing the property's value and aesthetic appeal.
Prime Exclusive Location: Nestled in the exclusive Cahuilla Hills community, it offers both seclusion and convenient access to El Paseo's luxury shopping and dining, as well as prestigious golf clubs like Bighorn and The Reserve.
Significant Development Potential: The large 5-acre lot, coupled with the modest existing structure, presents an exceptional opportunity for expansion, custom home construction, or adding luxury amenities to maximize its value.
Unique Retreat Appeal: Marketed as a 'peaceful retreat' that blends seclusion with convenience, it appeals strongly to buyers seeking a private sanctuary and escape.
Cons
Small Existing Structure: The current 846 sqft, 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is very small relative to the expansive lot size and high list price, potentially limiting the buyer pool to those looking to build or significantly expand.
Age of Home & Renovation Needs: Built in 1958, the existing structure is over 60 years old, suggesting it may require extensive modernization, significant renovations, or could be considered a tear-down for new construction by many buyers.
Limited Functionality/Layout: A 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration offers restricted living space and functionality, which might not meet the needs of a broader range of potential buyers looking for a primary residence or larger vacation home.
