Property Description

A RARE OPPORTUNITY IN LA QUINTA FAIRWAYS. Exceptional Privacy. Panoramic Mountain & Golf Course Views | Expansive 16,000 Sq. Ft. Lot. A truly rare opportunity in the prestigious gated community of La Quinta Fairways. This beautifully updated three-bedroom, four-bath residence with an attached guest casita is situated on an extraordinary 16,000-square-foot lot with only one neighboring home, offering a level of privacy and seclusion seldom found within a gated golf course community. With breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and fairway, the setting feels more like a private desert retreat than a home within a residential community. The expansive grounds offer exceptional possibilities for additional outdoor living spaces, a detached guest casita, or a separate entertaining pavilion, subject to HOA approval and applicable city requirements. This remarkable combination of location, lot size, privacy, and future potential makes the property an exceptionally rare offering in La Quinta Fairways.Extensively updated in 2026, the home offers a fresh, sophisticated interior with a contemporary desert aesthetic. Improvements include beautiful blonde laminate flooring throughout, a remodeled kitchen featuring quartz countertops and updated lighting, and freshly painted interiors. The bathrooms have also been thoughtfully updated with new flooring, contemporary vanities with quartz countertops, stylish mirrors, and modern lighting.The open-concept floor plan is designed for both comfortable everyday living and entertaining. A spacious living room features a striking fireplace accented with beautiful porcelain tile, while dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows showcase spectacular mountain and fairway views. The adjoining dining area and abundant natural light create a bright, inviting atmosphere throughout the main living spaces. The generous primary suite features an upgraded closet with a custom organization system, while the attached casita provides private accommodations for guests, family, or extended stays. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A secluded front courtyard just off the kitchen provides an intimate setting for alfresco dining, morning coffee, or evening gatherings. The expansive rear grounds feature a saltwater pool and spa overlooking the ninth hole of the Dunes Golf Course, part of the prestigious PGA WEST golf collection with sweeping mountain views creating a stunning backdrop. The golf course operates independently of the La Quinta Fairways community.Additional features include a spacious two-car garage with extra storage and room for a golf cart.Ideally located within the gated community of La Quinta Fairways, residents enjoy low HOA fees and convenient access to world-class golf, shopping, dining, and the many attractions of La Quinta.
