Condition Rating
Good
Built in 2001, this property has undergone significant recent updates, including a 'newly renovated gourmet kitchen' with new appliances and modern porcelain countertops/backsplash, and an 'updated detached casita' with new flooring and paint. The primary bathroom is spacious and well-maintained with dual vanities and a large shower. While many elements are new or updated, the kitchen cabinetry and the primary bathroom's overall style (including the large mirrored wall) suggest that not every component is 'virtually new' in a full, contemporary renovation sense. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and major systems appear functional and well-maintained, fitting the 'Good' criteria of being extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years with some updated components rather than a full, top-to-bottom recent overhaul.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Golf Course & Lake Views: The property is ideally situated on a prime elevated lot, offering breathtaking views of a tranquil lake and the 2nd Fairway of the Pate Golf Course, enhancing its appeal and value.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: Features a newly renovated gourmet kitchen with luxury porcelain island/countertops/backsplash, new high-end appliances (double ovens with air fry/Sous Vide, French door refrigerator), and an updated detached casita with new flooring and paint.
Resort-Style Outdoor Living: The backyard boasts a resort-style infinity-edge Pebble-Tec pool with a sun shelf and a built-in BBQ area, perfect for entertaining and enjoying the desert lifestyle.
Versatile Guest Casita: A newly re-done two-room detached guest casita with a Jack and Jill bathroom provides excellent flexibility for visitors, a dedicated home office, or a studio space.
Prestigious Community Location: Located within the highly desirable Rancho La Quinta Country Club, known as a premier desert choice offering luxury, privacy, and resort-style amenities.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The substantial monthly association fee of $1,198 adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which could be a deterrent for some buyers.
Limited Main House Bedrooms: The main residence contains only two bedrooms, which may be a limitation for larger families or those requiring more primary sleeping quarters, despite the flexible casita space.
Potential for Older Major Systems: While many cosmetic and appliance upgrades are highlighted, there is no explicit mention of updates to major systems like HVAC, which, given the 2001 build year, could be original and less energy-efficient for the desert climate.
