THE PROPERTY

Get to know the property.

Showstopper! South-facing Santa Rosa Mountain views, unforgettable sunsets and a prime position along the 4th fairway of The Citrus Club's Pete Dye course set the stage for this ultra-private executive home. Outdoor living takes full advantage with a saltwater pool and spa, a covered patio running the entire length of the home, retractable awning and generous space for lounging and dining. A gated front approach leads to an expansive courtyard with fountain and on to the formal entry. Custom built by Rob Capetz of Sun Vista Development, the home offers a floor plan designed for desert living with excellent separation of bedrooms and a strong connection to the outdoors. The living room with wet bar flows to the adjacent formal dining room, enhanced by a temperature-controlled wine closet added in 2025. The family room and kitchen with breakfast area feature handsome built-ins and glass overlooking the covered patio and pool. Just outside, the saltwater pool and spa feature a Baja shelf, swim-up bar seating and a series of waterfalls, while a built-in barbecue with counter seating completes the outdoor entertaining space. A powder bath is conveniently positioned for guests. The ensuite primary retreat occupies the west wing with a fireplace, separate tub and shower, two large walk-in closets and two water closets. On the opposite side of the home and tucked behind double doors, Guest Bedroom 2 features a large walk-in closet and direct patio access from both the bedroom and bath. Guest Bedroom 3 is currently enjoyed as a den with an ensuite bath, built-in desk area, Murphy bed and French doors opening to the courtyard. The large detached casita serves as Guest Bedroom 4, where impressive ceiling height adds to the sense of space, complemented by an ensuite bath and kitchenette area. Additional highlights include newer HVAC systems, new brick pavers throughout the patio areas in 2025, and an air-conditioned three-car garage with built-in cabinetry. And then there is the magic of The Citrus Club, where the celebrated course, citrus-lined streets and Santa Rosa Mountains create a distinctive sense of place. Gated and private with a low HOA fee, this is La Quinta desert living at its best.

OWNERSHIP, WITH A PLAN

Investor outlook.

Explore this property’s rental potential with an all-cash purchase. Monthly rent starts at 5% of the purchase price per year, divided by 12. Adjust it and the other assumptions to explore your scenario.

These are planning assumptions, not a rental appraisal or a loan quote. The starting rent is a price-based estimate; a local leasing professional can help confirm market rent.

Investor outlook assumes an all-cash purchase. No mortgage payment is deducted.

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).
