El Cardonal Real Estate
The most consistent high-end villa market in Diamante — four sales between $3.2 million and $4.725 million, three of them at exactly the asking price.
Four sales, three at full price
El Cardonal is the Casa Cardonal villa collection, and it is the firmest market in Diamante. Five recorded sales, $16.68 million in volume, and a median close of exactly 100% of the asking price.
Three of the four house sales went at full list: $3,750,000, $3,500,000 and — on the land side — $1,500,000. The exceptions were a $3,500,000 villa that closed at $3,200,000 and a $4,999,000 villa that closed at $4,725,000. Even the discounts here are modest by Diamante standards.
Notably, three of the four house sales were the same floor plan: 7,026 square feet of constructed area, four bedrooms. They closed at $3,750,000, $3,500,000 and $3,200,000 across 2023 and 2024 — a $550,000 spread on identical product, which tells you position within the enclave matters.

Three things worth knowing about El Cardonal
Identical floor plans sold $550,000 apart. Three of the four house sales were the same 7,026-square-foot four-bedroom, closing at $3,750,000, $3,500,000 and $3,200,000. Same product, three different numbers. Whatever separates them — position, view corridor, finish package, timing — it is worth roughly 17% of the price, and it is not in the MLS record. Ask.
Expect to pay close to asking. A median of 100% of list across five sales, with the worst outcome for a seller being 91.4%. This is the firmest of the nine Diamante neighborhoods. An offer materially below asking has no track record of working here.
Both listed villas are 2026 completions asking above every recorded sale. $4,750,000 and $4,950,000, against a top recorded El Cardonal sale of $4,725,000. That is a modest gap for new construction, and it is far better supported than the asking prices at Legacy Founders Estates — but confirm whether you are buying a finished villa or a contract position.
