Terra Lago

Terra Lago is a 356-acre guard-gated master-planned community in North Indio, California, set in the Coachella Valley about 25 miles east of Palm Springs. The community is built around a 20-acre recreational lake used for kayaking, paddleboarding, electric boating, and catch-and-release fishing, with the 36-hole Golf Club at Terra Lago (North and South championship courses, established 1998, former host of the PGA Tour Skins Game 1999–2002) directly adjacent. Homes have Tuscan-inspired desert architecture and the master plan includes five distinct neighborhoods developed by multiple builders since 2005. Terra Lago is a hybrid community: most of it is all-ages, but Four Seasons at Terra Lago is a dedicated 55+ active-adult section planned for 661 single-family homes built by K. Hovnanian, with 14 floor plans ranging from roughly 1,559 to 2,747 square feet across the Sunrise and Starlight collections. New construction is still ongoing in the Four Seasons section. The heart of the 55+ neighborhood is The Lodge, a 22,000-square-foot clubhouse featuring an indoor lap pool, resort-style outdoor pool and spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, aerobics and yoga studio, ballroom, card and billiards rooms, library, bistro, beauty salon with massage room, and on-site activities director. Outdoor amenities include 4 tennis courts, 3 pickleball courts, basketball, bocce, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a putting green, and a dog park. The main Terra Lago community also has its own 10,000-square-foot Villa Terra Lago clubhouse with fitness center, ballroom, catering kitchen, outdoor pool and spa, wading pool, and playground — grandkids are welcome with no visitation limits. Social life is organized and active, particularly in Four Seasons, with clubs and activities including arts and crafts, billiards, cards, casino night, Hawaiian luau, horseshoes, paint-and-sip, pickleball, hiking club, yoga, water aerobics, and Zumba. An on-site activities director schedules monthly community events. Four Seasons residents get discounted play at the adjacent Golf Club at Terra Lago and notably are NOT subject to Mello-Roos CFD assessments. HOA fees run approximately $269–$325 per month depending on section and include cable, Fios internet, trash removal, common-area maintenance, and management. The property sits on fee-simple land. The community is guard-gated 24/7 and sits just off Interstate 10, about three miles from a major shopping center with Target, Home Depot, and banks. Fantasy Springs Resort Casino and Acrisure Arena are just minutes away. Palm Springs International Airport is roughly 20–25 miles (about 30 minutes). Terra Lago offers the classic Coachella Valley lifestyle — 350 days of sunshine a year, 200+ golf courses within driving distance, easy access to hiking in the Chocolate and Shadow Mountains, and proximity to the Coachella and Stagecoach festivals, Indian Wells Tennis Garden, and the shops and restaurants of El Paseo.
