About This Home

As of April 2024

IMMEDIATE GOLF MEMBERSHIP at closing! An exceptional opportunity within Desert Highlands, this charming custom home offers the opportunity to renovate and expand. There is significant unused building envelope behind the backyard wall that could be captured to expand the backyard, add a guest house, and/or put an addition on the existing home. This single level southwest contemporary estate has a private courtyard, offering mountain views from the front of the home. The floor plan is open and inviting with new Anderson windows and sliding doors that allow the natural light to enter and be appreciated from every room. Through the front door, you are welcomed into the great room featuring a tiled gas fireplace, formal dining area, and a wet bar which opens to the kitchen. The kitchen is accessible from both sides of the great room and is well equipped with a 4 burner gas cooktop, beautiful wood cabinetry offering ample storage, granite counter tops, Bosch stainless steel appliances, and a kitchen island with additional storage options. The breakfast nook overlooks the back yard through a large bay window. Each of the 3 en-suites are situated with privacy in mind, occupying separate corners of the home. The spacious primary bedroom offers private access to the backyard, steps away from the outdoor fireplace. It's primary bath features granite tiled dual vanities, jetted tub, separate shower and a large walk-in closet. One en-suite is located down the hall from the primary bedroom while the other located on the opposite side of the home features an en-suite bath that doubles as a powder room for guests. The back exterior has a sunny south facing exposure, large covered patio, grassy play area, built-in BBQ and an inviting wood burning fireplace. The home has 2 newer A/C units (2017 & 2022), new hot water heater (2023), new roof (2022), and fresh exterior & interior paint (2022).

Residents of the community become immediate members with payment of membership fee of $150,000 at close of escrow.
