Frequently Asked Questions About Encanto Norte

1. What is the story behind Encanto Norte?

It’s a boutique community built one custom home at a time. Encanto Norte consists of only 18 luxury homes, constructed between 2002 and 2016 by builders including Pinnacle Builders and Steg Custom Homes. Fourteen years of building produced eighteen residences — which tells you most of what you need to know about the pace and the privacy here.

2. What has stayed constant about its character?

Seclusion. The community is tucked away amongst gorgeous desert terrain with sweeping mountain views, giving residents a genuine sense of peace and privacy behind a gate. That was the founding idea and it has never changed — 18 homes, generous lots, and desert on every side.

3. What are the homes like?

Substantial and individually built. Homes range from 3,400 to 4,300 square feet with three to four bedrooms and 2.5 to four bathrooms, on generous lots with oversized rooms. Inside, expect custom finishes, gorgeous tile and stone flooring, custom offices, fine cabinetry, lavish owner’s suites with separate vanities and other luxuries, beamed ceilings and gourmet-style kitchens.

4. What can you do with the outdoor space?

The size of the properties results in genuine resort-style backyards. You’ll find Pebble Tec custom pools, waterfalls, exquisite outdoor living spaces and plenty of room for storing recreational vehicles. Many residences have four-car garages — useful for car collectors and anyone with toys to store.

5. How does Encanto Norte compare to other communities in the area?

It’s smaller and quieter than almost anything nearby. At 18 homes it’s a genuine enclave rather than a subdivision, and it isn’t built around golf or a club — the draw is desert, views and privacy. For buyers who want a custom luxury home without a community’s worth of neighbours or amenities to pay for, that’s the appeal.

6. What is the setting like?

Outdoor-oriented and beautifully positioned. The community is nestled near the Tonto National Forest, making it ideal for those who love the outdoor life, with three golf courses minutes away — Desert Forest, Desert Mountain and Legend Trail. The quirky, atmospheric towns of Carefree and Cave Creek, with their boutiques, bistros, Western-style restaurants, local festivals and art fairs, are close by.

7. What does it cost to buy here?

Homes have been quoted from $1,300,000 to $1,700,000 for residences of 3,400 to 4,300 square feet. With only 18 homes, listings are genuinely rare and there may be none available at a given time — contact The Holm Group for verified current pricing based on recent closed sales.

8. How do you get around from here?

Easily, considering the seclusion. When you need to get somewhere quickly, you can take a private plane out of Sky Ranch at Carefree, or head west on the Carefree Highway to Interstate 17 for Phoenix or central Arizona. Students attend the highly rated Cave Creek Unified School District 093.

9. Who thrives in Encanto Norte?

Buyers who want privacy above everything — a large custom home, desert views, no through traffic and no crowd. It suits car collectors and RV owners given the four-car garages and storage room, second-home buyers wanting a lock-and-leave desert retreat, and anyone drawn to Carefree and Cave Creek’s character without living in the middle of it.
