2 acre indio estate property SOLD

2 acre Indio estate property SOLD!

2 acre estate property in Indio, SOLD!  2.5 mil.  82051 Higgins Ct., Indio is SOLD.  This incredible property will be a STVR for a couple years probably, then built out as a personal residential estate property.  If you have a multi acre property in VSR, Indio, Coachella or Thermal, give local resident and equestrian, Kim Kelly a call at 760-285-3578.

What made this property so special was the location.  At slightly over 2 acres, it was a good sized property for an estate, STVR or event site.  Located walking/biking/golf cart ride from the Coachella Music Festival grounds, the location itself was enticing to the buyers.

At just 1750 sf, 3 bedrooms/3 bathrooms, the home was built in 1991, and needed some TLC.  A gorgeous backyard setting featuring plenty of parking as well as spectacular West and South views was a huge draw for the buyer.  I have more buyers looking for multi acre estate properties, and especially if you can keep horses there!  If you are looking to sell your equestrian property, give me a call at 760-285-3578.  If you are looking for an equestrian property and are willing to build your own home, I have some of those, such as ..

  3. 10 acre site on Jackson St. with two large horseshow barns, arena, mobile home on a permanent foundation, remodeled 1978 ranch style main home.  6.5 mil.

Take a tour of 19 acres, part of Leja farms, offering a 3000+ sf pool home and acres of palms.  Offered at 3 mil.  This tour is of the entire 35 acre farm for 8.5 mil.  The 19 acre parcel is available for 3 mil.

Indio; the hub bub of the valley

city of Indio

Indio has so many gorgeous properties!

Indio, the hub bub of the valley.  So, when I came to the desert in the mid 80’s there was a jingle that played on the radio that went like this..”Indio, it’s the hub bub of the Valley..it’s Indio, Indio, Inn-d-oh”.  We used to laugh like mad at this because at that time for all intents and purpose, Indio, was NOT the hub bub.  It was the arm pit of the valley.  Fast forward to now, and the city of Indio is being revitalized, it’s a true Renaissance.  If you are looking to buy or sell in the Coachella Valley, give local resident and agent, Kim Kelly a call at 760-285-3578.

The cultural city of Indio is incentivizing local businesses to open in the downtown area.  Local favorites like Desert Beer Co., and Gabinos Creperie, along with Little Street Music Hall will all open up locations in downtown Indio!  The City owning all of those properties is really the biggest incentive that they were able to use for most of the businesses, and they kind of custom-built the plans for each of the businesses that you see moving in.

The City has an area called “The Opportunity Zone,” which includes downtown. Within the zone, the City offers deferred and reduced taxes and, in some cases, up to 10 years. Also, a beautification program gives businesses up to $50,000 to remodel.   

Local businesses interested in opening shop in Indio can contact the City’s economic development manager Miguel Ramierez-Cornejo at (760) 391-4068.

Is Indio, California the next “hub” of the Coachella Valley?

Indio offers some of the BEST Land, Equestrian and Housing values in the Coachella Valley.

Is Indio, California the next “hub” of the Coachella Valley?  It certainly  feels like it may be!  When I first came to Indio, in the mid 1980’s, the jingle for the city went something like “It’s the hub-bub of the valley…it’s Indio, Indio, In-D-O”  That about knocked us down because the only people that even knew where Indio was, were the Polo Players, or locals.  The City of Festivals, Indio, offers some of the best remaining Land Values in the Coachella Valley.  Because Land is still relatively cheap, Equestrian Estates, and Residential options are also less pricey than in the central and Western Valley cities.
