A FEW THINGS TO NOTICE

What stands out.

Additional spaces

Set on an ultra-premium lot directly across from the 10th hole of the De Anza Country Club — a lot never part of the original 262-lot subdivision recorded in 1956, but held separately by the Club for decades before finally being released for residential development in the 1980s — this 4-bedroom + office, 5-bath home with a detached guest house, 4-car garage, and resort-style pool is in a class by itself.

Living spaces

From the moment you pass through the front entry gate, the golf course frames itself perfectly through the living room windows — a view that shifts beautifully from dawn to dusk, and gives way to a star-filled sky at night.

Details worth a look

The second bedroom in the main house looks out through 9-foot sliding and stationary glass doors to the backyard, the country club, and the golf course — framed by a shared patio and pergola.

THE PROPERTY

Get to know the property.

For desert lovers, golfers, and those seeking serenity, this extraordinary 4,742 sq ft estate in De Anza Golf Estates is truly one-of-a-kind. Set on an ultra-premium lot directly across from the 10th hole of the De Anza Country Club — a lot never part of the original 262-lot subdivision recorded in 1956, but held separately by the Club for decades before finally being released for residential development in the 1980s — this 4-bedroom + office, 5-bath home with a detached guest house, 4-car garage, and resort-style pool is in a class by itself. From the moment you pass through the front entry gate, the golf course frames itself perfectly through the living room windows — a view that shifts beautifully from dawn to dusk, and gives way to a star-filled sky at night. Dramatic soaring ceilings in the living room, cathedral ceilings in several other rooms, and a deep covered front porch extending the full length of the home set the architectural tone. All on one level.The main house offers an open, light-filled floor plan with seamless flow between the living room (fireplace, two sliding glass doors), family room (vaulted ceiling, wall of windows, built-in shelving), formal dining room, sunroom, kitchen with golf course views, breakfast area, and laundry room. The primary suite is a true retreat: vaulted ceiling, wall of windows, his-and-hers walk-in closets, indoor sauna, Jacuzzi bath, sitting area, separate shower, dual sinks, and sweeping views. The attached guest house offers 2 br/2 ba and a living room with kitchenette. Soon new restaurant at club 100 yards away! No HOA fees A Rare and Storied Lot-This is not just another home — it begins with the land itself. The property occupies one of Borrego Springs' most coveted kot: a choice lot directly across from the De Anza Country Club that was never part of the original 262-lot subdivision platted in 1956. Instead, the Club held it privately for decades, reserving it for future development, before finally releasing it for residential sale in the 1980s. The result is a setting with space, separation, and stature that simply cannot be replicated elsewhere in the community. Approach the property and the design intention is immediately clear: a gated entry and lushly landscaped walkway draw your eye straight through the living room to the golf course beyond. The house sits behind a large swimming pool to the left, shielded from the street by a privacy gate, while a deep covered front porch extends the full length of the structure — from the main entry all the way to the guest house — creating a gracious, resort-like arrival experience. Inside, dramatic soaring ceilings in the living room and cathedral ceilings in several other rooms establish an architectural grandeur that carries throughout. Everything is on one level, making it as livable as it is impressive. With views at every turn it is genuinely hard not to be captivated. From the front, the pool and mountain ranges command the scene. From the back, the lush, tree-lined fairway of the 10th hole stretches out beneath a vast desert sky. The view shifts beautifully from dawn to dusk — and at night, the stars take over. Nearly every principal room shares in this outlook: the living room through two sets of sliding glass doors, the family room through a wall of windows, the kitchen through a wide picture window, and the sunroom through its own sliding glass access to the dining area and fairway beyond. The second bedroom in the main house looks out through 9-foot sliding and stationary glass doors to the backyard, the country club, and the golf course — framed by a shared patio and pergola. The primary bedroom suite is a sanctuary unto itself: vaulted ceiling, a wall lined with windows, his-and-hers large walk-in closets, an indoor sauna, a sun-drenched Jacuzzi bath, a sitting area, separate shower, dual sinks, & an adjoining office or optional fifth bedroom. Privacy, luxury, and views — all in one. The main house floor plan flows...

Purchase price
Rental income & operating costs

Purchase price × 5% ÷ 12. Updates with purchase price until you enter a custom rent.

Annual insurance starts at purchase price × 0.25%, rounded to the nearest available amount. Updates with purchase price until you choose another amount.A planning estimate, not an insurance quote. Adjust it for your property and coverage.

Percentages are editable examples, not ERA fee quotes. Management is applied to rent after vacancy; maintenance and capital reserves use scheduled rent. Add owner-paid utilities, mortgage insurance and other recurring expenses under other costs.

How this scenario is calculated

Annual operating income is rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA and other operating costs, before financing and capital reserves. Cap rate divides annual operating income by purchase price. Estimated monthly cash flow assumes an all-cash purchase: rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA, other operating costs and capital reserves. No mortgage payment is deducted. The mortgage calculator is separate; loan payments would reduce cash flow for a financed purchase. One-time acquisition costs, renovations, income taxes, depreciation and appreciation are excluded.

Mortgage payment calculator

Explore financing separately. These loan settings do not change the all-cash investor outlook.

Mortgage assumptions

20% down and 7% interest are illustrative starting values.

Estimated monthly principal & interestLoan payment only. Excludes property taxes, homeowners/flood insurance, mortgage insurance and HOA dues.

About this payment estimate

Based on a fixed-rate, fully amortizing loan with monthly payments and the price, down payment, interest rate and term you select. The interest rate is an example, not a current rate offer or APR; APR includes certain loan costs. This is an illustration, not a Loan Estimate, approval, offer of credit or commitment to lend.

Your actual payment, rate and eligibility depend on your lender, credit, loan program and property. Closing costs, points, prepaid expenses and lender fees are not included. Taxes and insurance may change, and mortgage insurance may be required, particularly with a down payment below 20%. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate and a complete monthly payment including applicable taxes, insurance and fees.

Dollar results are rounded to the nearest cent; calculations retain precision until display. A cash purchase has no loan payment but still has ownership costs. Understand your total home payment (CFPB).
