About La Quinta's The Palms

If you're looking for a bank-owned home in The Palms Country Club, check out this La Quinta country-club home.

This lender-owned (REO) home is located in The Palms Country Club, a unique country club in the Coachella Valley.

Built on the grounds of a former date-palm orchard, the 101 homes are built around the perimiter of the course, leaving the greens and spectacular Santa Rose Mountain views intact. Designed by Fred Couples, who owns a home in the club, this is a haven for golf afficionados. The low-key club exudes a comfortable ambiance and extends its social privileges to all golf members, most of whom are single-digit handicappers.

This La Quinta country-club home features 3B/3b in an open 2883 square-foot floorplan replete with luxurious touches, including travertine/marble/hardwood flooring, soaring stone-cast fireplace, and 4-inch plantation shutters. The courtyard offers entry to either the main house or the separate guest casita.

Situated on a large 11,761 square-foot, north-facing lot, the home's incredible vistas encompass mountain, lake and rows of palm trees.

An entertaing-ready backyard features a Pebble-Tec pool with tanning shelves, rock formations and spacious spa.

On the market three years ago this month for $1.5M, the foreclosure home came on the market today at $598K (only $207/sf). That's a cool 60% reduction in price.

HOAs and golf membership are very reasonable as well, offering buyers an appealing alternative to the city's pricier clubs (PGA West, Mountain View, Rancho La Quinta, Hideaway).
