Craig Chorpenning, Toscana Country Club Real Estate Agent in Indian Wells

Independent representation for Toscana Country Club buyers and sellers from Craig Chorpenning of Desert Sotheby's International Realty.

For buyers and sellers looking for a Toscana Country Club real estate agent, Craig Chorpenning of Desert Sotheby's International Realty knows how Toscana resales come together. His recent Toscana sales include a remodeled, south-facing Plan 621 home on the Jack Nicklaus Signature course that sold for $2,995,000, where Craig represented the buyer (Redfin, MLS record). Craig is a California licensed salesperson (DRE 01887862) and works across Indian Wells, where RealTrends Verified ranked him #3 by sales volume on 2025 data.

This page explains what sets Toscana apart, how its equity membership and on-site sales office shape a purchase, Craig's featured sales inside the gates, current prices, and answers to common Toscana questions.

Why Craig Chorpenning Is a Strong Choice at Toscana Country Club

Most Toscana resales on the MLS are listed through the community's own on-site sales office, so buyers often benefit from an agent who works only for them. Craig has represented Toscana buyers on that side of the table, including on a remodeled home that sold for just under $3 million. He brings a negotiator's focus, Sotheby's International Realty marketing for sellers, and a working knowledge of Toscana's membership costs. For a buyer or seller who wants independent advice inside a developer-run community, he is a strong choice.

What Makes Toscana Country Club Real Estate Different

Toscana is a private equity club community behind 24-hour guarded gates in Indian Wells, with 631 homes and estate homesites (according to Toscana Country Club) and 36 holes of Jack Nicklaus Signature golf. Several things make buying or selling here different from other desert clubs.

A developer-run community. Toscana is developed by Sunrise Company, which builds the homes and also designs and operates the club (Toscana Country Club, Sunrise Company page). That gives the community a consistent Tuscan-inspired look, with homes sold by plan or collection name, such as Plan 621 or the Amalfi Collection.

An on-site sales office lists most resales. Based on Redfin's MLS records, about 7 in 10 Toscana MLS sales in the 24 months to October 7, 2026 were listed by the community's on-site sales team. Buyers can still bring their own agent. An independent agent can compare a Toscana home against sales in other clubs, not only inside the gates.

Equity membership has a real cost. Toscana's resident equity golf membership carries a non-refundable initiation fee of $180,000 and monthly dues of $3,720, with a limit of 550 golf members. The sports membership is $120,000 to join and $1,590 a month, with a limit of 175 (Toscana Country Club membership page, checked October 2026). The club has published different figures on different pages, as Craig's article on Toscana Country Club membership costs explains, so confirm the current fee with the membership office before you write an offer. Buyers should add these figures to the purchase price when comparing Toscana with other clubs.

Two different Nicklaus courses. The South Course features dramatic elevation changes and rolling greens, while the North Course uses arroyos and native desert plantings. Both play over 7,000 yards from the back tees, and a forward-tee option creates a 4,550-yard, par-72 layout (Toscana Country Club, golf courses page). The course and view a home faces are a big part of its value.

Featured sales such as 75763 Via Cortona show these points at work: a remodeled plan home with Nicklaus course views, listed by the on-site office, with Craig representing the buyer.

Who Is Craig Chorpenning? A Competitor's Approach to Toscana

Craig calls himself a lifelong competitor, and that drive shows up in how he negotiates for clients (Craig Chorpenning, about). With more than 10 years in real estate, he has held a California real estate license since September 2010 (DRE), and his work today focuses on private club communities and luxury estates in the Coachella Valley.

At Toscana that approach matters most on the buyer side, where a client is usually negotiating with the community's own on-site sales team. Craig's job is to bring outside perspective: how the plan, view and finish compare with recent sales, and what the true monthly cost looks like once membership is added. Sellers get the same perspective in reverse, plus the reach of the Sotheby's International Realty network.

Toscana Country Club Home Prices in 2026

These figures come from Redfin's MLS sold records for homes tagged "Toscana CC," counting every MLS sale in each home's sale history. Redfin notes that some MLS listings are left out of its data under local MLS rules, and off-MLS sales are not included, so treat them as a guide.

Last 12 months (October 15, 2025 to October 14, 2026): 42 home sales at a median of about $3.4 million, or about $864 per square foot. Prices ranged from $2.05 million to $11.375 million.
2025: 40 home sales at a median of $3.4 million, or about $839 per square foot.
2024: 22 home sales at a median of about $3.67 million, or about $894 per square foot.
2023: 26 home sales at a median of about $3.15 million, or about $854 per square foot.

Sales rose by about 80% from 2024 to 2025, while the median price eased from about $3.67 million to $3.4 million. For sellers, that means steady demand but buyers with plenty of recent comparables, so pricing by plan, view and condition matters. For buyers, the $2.05 million to $11.375 million range shows how much the course position and lot size can move value inside one community. Redfin's records for Toscana homes sold in the last 12 months list HOA dues of $750 a month.

Local Rules for Buying and Selling at Toscana

Membership is separate from the home. Equity golf and sports memberships are bought from the club, with initiation fees paid partly with the application and the balance after approval (Toscana Country Club membership page, October 2026).
HOA dues. Recent MLS records list HOA dues of $750 a month, separate from club dues. Ask for the current figure before writing an offer.
Who represents you. The on-site sales office lists most Toscana resales. Buyers can choose their own agent to represent only their interests.
Rentals. Before buying a home you plan to rent, ask for the HOA's current rental rules and check the City of Indian Wells' rules on rentals.

Selling or Buying With Craig Chorpenning at Toscana Country Club

Selling. When pricing a Toscana home, Craig compares plan, course position and finish with recent sales inside the gates and in competing clubs. He markets listings through Sotheby's International Realty's global network and his own video tours, so a Toscana home reaches buyers beyond the community's own database.

Buying. Before an offer, Craig helps you compare the home's price per square foot with recent Toscana sales of the same plan, confirm HOA dues, budget for the membership initiation fee and monthly dues, and review any remodeling the seller has done. He represents only you, even when the listing is held by the on-site office.
