About this House

Fantastic Encanto 2 with detached stand-alone 2-room guest house and massive entry courtyard with fountain! Presiding over quadruple fairway and lake views of the Jerry Pate Course, this home is an end-unit location with no neighbor on the right. Offered by the original owners who bought it from the developer, this home features travertine flooring in the main living areas, plantation shutters and massive Fleetwood slider and large windows that capture views of the rear grounds, tranquil pool, and golf course beyond. The fireplace surrounds in both the living room and family room offer a scale that complements the voluminous ceiling height. Most buyers of this plan are remodeling the built-in media center in the family room and opting for a long console table with floating flatscreen tv on the wall - In this instance, the wall is ready to go with zero demolition saving the buyer time and money. The chef's kitchen features rich granite counters, stainless steel appliances and an upgraded Frigidaire gas cooktop. The main bedroom suite opens directly to the pool and spa and offers fairway and lake views. Additional features include: exterior of home painted in 2024; salt water pool; replaced front door and casita door entry in 2019; waterline at pool replaced in 2015; variable speed pool pump replaced in 2023; phantom screen at front door in 2019; oversized lot offers a spacious sideyard complete with citrus orchard and walking path; cool deck concrete treatment at poolside patio area and more!! This is a rare mini-estate opportunity within Rancho La Quinta and the detached guesthouse provides a courtyard entry atmosphere that is rarely seen in this plan for this price. For buyers looking to re-envision an Encanto 2 with their own colors and hard surfaces, this home and location offers all of the raw elements to create your very own Rancho La Quinta estate. What's more, the pool area features a raised seating area adjacent to the spa that is the ideal location for friends and entertaining - all before a backdrop of a large lake, multiple fairways and snowcapped Santa Rosa, San Jacinto and San Gorgonio mountains in the distance.
