Welcome to 1781 Bahama Place. Remember those old Choose Your Own Adventure books? This is one of those rare opportunities where you truly get to decide how the story ends. Turn the page one direction and restore one of Mesa Verde's most iconic mid century single story footprints. Turn the page the other and skip months, if not a year, of planning with City of Costa Mesa approved plans already in place to build an entirely new custom home. Either way, your story begins in one of the most coveted locations in all of Mesa Verde. Tucked away on a quiet cul de sac behind the picturesque par 3 12th hole at Mesa Verde Country Club, this 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2,594 square foot home enjoys a setting that rarely becomes available. Walls of glass stretch across the rear of the home, capturing peaceful golf course and lake views while sitting in a location safely removed from errant golf balls. The existing open concept floor plan was well ahead of its time and creates an incredible architectural canvas for someone looking to bring a true mid century home back to life. Make no mistake, this property is a complete fixer and will require substantial renovation inside and out, but opportunities like this are no longer about the condition of the home. They are about securing one of the premier golf course locations in Mesa Verde before opportunities like this become even more difficult to find. For those looking to build from the ground up, the heavy lifting has already been done. The property includes City approved plans to demolish the existing residence and construct a brand new custom home, saving countless months in the approval process. The seller is also willing to deliver the property as a vacant dirt lot with the existing home demolished prior to the close of escrow if desired. An enclosed front courtyard with private swimming pool adds yet another unique element to this remarkable property. Whether your next chapter is restoring an architectural gem or creating a custom masterpiece from the ground up, this is a rare opportunity to write your own story in one of Mesa Verde's most iconic golf course locations.
