Within The Quarry at La Quinta, one of the Coachella Valley's most exclusive and closely held private club communities, this homesite on Tom Fazio Lane N offers something that rarely surfaces: a positioned lot with genuine design momentum already in place. Set along the 18th hole of the Tom Fazio designed course, the parcel frames a composed view of the southern Santa Rosa Mountains, with the fairway establishing both privacy and presence. What distinguishes this opportunity from a raw lot is what has already been done. Plans by architect Scott Hudgins of Hudgins Design Group, known for refined desert modern residential work, envision a home of approximately 5,500 square feet. The program includes four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and a media or bonus room, organized to take full advantage of the site's orientation and views. HOA approved plans and City of La Quinta approved permits are in place, removing a layer of complexity that typically consumes months of a custom build process. The Quarry is not a community that explains itself. Membership is limited, the golf is exceptional, and the residential fabric reflects the discipline of buyers who understand what scarcity actually means in the desert. A lot of this caliber, adjacent to a signature hole, with approved architecture ready for execution, does enter the market often. For the buyer who has already envisioned the life that comes with a private club homesite in The Quarry, this is where that vision becomes a viable project rather than a prolonged search. Contact the listing agent for plan review, permit documentation, and private site access.
