Market Report Listings • Pending Sales • Closings The Enclave of Distinction is a boutique gated luxury community in North Naples with only 27 substantial single-family homes. Nearly 18 acres, two lakes, preserve areas, landscaped open space, private pools, three-car garages and sophisticated newer construction create an unusually low-density alternative to larger Naples master-planned communities.
Boutique Luxury Living in North Naples
The Enclave of Distinction occupies a distinct position within the North Naples luxury market. Instead of hundreds of residences and a large shared resort complex, the neighborhood concentrates its investment in only 27 substantial homes surrounded by lakes, preserves, landscaped open space and an intimate gated streetscape.
The community was developed by Distinctive Communities with residences built through Distinctive Residential Construction. Its original luxury home collection was designed by Stofft Cooney Architects and intended to be customized rather than repeated as rigid production plans.
That distinction matters in resale analysis. Two residences based on the same original design can now differ in living area, room configuration, pool design, outdoor living, technology and interior finish.
Five Customizable Luxury Home Designs
The original Enclave architectural program included five principal home designs: Haven, Retreat, Sanctuary, Oasis and Edgewater.
Large Homes From About 3,200 to 5,000+ Square Feet
The Enclave was designed almost entirely around substantial luxury residences. Published plans begin around the low-3,000-square-foot range and extend beyond 5,000 square feet depending on design and customization.
Current and recent MLS properties reinforce that scale, including homes well above 4,000 square feet with four bedrooms, dens, multiple ensuite guest rooms and extensive indoor-outdoor living.
Lakefront Homes at The Enclave of Distinction
Two lakes are incorporated into the community plan and create some of the strongest permanent homesite advantages inside The Enclave.
In a community of only 27 homes, direct lakefront comparable sales can be limited. The permanent homesite premium should therefore be analyzed separately from differences in residence size and construction.
Preserve & Landscaped Homesites
Not every Enclave home relies on a lake view. Preserve areas, mature landscaping and community open space can provide a different form of privacy.
Buyers should compare the depth and apparent permanence of natural vegetation, side-yard separation, neighboring sight lines and the amount of open space visible from principal living areas.
A private preserve or landscaped setting may compete very effectively with water frontage for a buyer whose priority is seclusion.
Private Pools, Spas & Outdoor Living
Private outdoor living is fundamental to The Enclave's design concept. Original builder residences were planned with private pools rather than relying on a large community resort pool.
Three-Car Garages
Three-car garages are a recurring component of The Enclave's luxury home designs and can be particularly important for buyers with multiple vehicles, specialty automobiles, bicycles, golf equipment or significant storage needs.
Actual garage usefulness should be determined by bay width, depth, door configuration, ceiling height, cabinetry, electrical service, EV charging and climate-control features where present.
Smart-Home Technology & Natural Gas
The Enclave was conceived as a modern smart-home community. Original builder specifications included connected technology, high-speed communications, security features and smart-pool capabilities.
Natural gas is also part of the community infrastructure and can support cooking, fireplaces, water heating, pool equipment or other residence systems depending on the specific home.
Technology changes rapidly, so buyers should confirm which systems remain installed, supported, transferable and operational rather than relying solely on the home's original specification package.
New & Recently Completed Luxury Homes
The Enclave remains particularly relevant to buyers seeking newer multimillion-dollar Naples construction. Current inventory includes recently completed luxury residences with private pools, large outdoor kitchens, impact protection and three-car garages.
A completed builder residence and an owner resale should not automatically be compared as identical products. Landscaping, furnishings, window treatments, specialty storage, pool enhancements and other owner improvements can change total delivered value considerably.
Private Community Park & Open Space
The Enclave includes a landscaped resident park and open green space rather than a large clubhouse or recreation campus.
This smaller amenity footprint supports neighborhood gathering while keeping the community focused on private-home amenities rather than extensive shared facilities.
For buyers comparing HOA structures, that distinction is important: The Enclave's luxury proposition is concentrated primarily in the individual residence, pool, garage, homesite and landscape environment.
Luxury Living Without Mandatory Golf
The Enclave of Distinction is not a bundled or mandatory-golf community. Buyers are therefore not purchasing a required private-club membership with the residence.
That makes the neighborhood particularly interesting for buyers who like the North Naples location near major luxury golf communities but prefer to keep club membership separate from their residential purchase.
HOA & Ownership Due Diligence
The Enclave has historically been positioned around a comparatively streamlined luxury-community association structure, but buyers should rely only on current governing documents and budgets.
Impact Protection, Roofing & Major Systems
Newer construction is an advantage, but buyers should still verify the actual installed systems for the specific residence.
What Enclave Buyers Should Compare
How to Value an Enclave of Distinction Home
With only 27 residences and substantial customization, The Enclave naturally produces a thin comparable-sales market. One sale can move community averages significantly.
Price per square foot can provide context, but a smaller single-story residence and a customized two-story home approaching 5,000 square feet should not be treated as interchangeable.
Selling an Enclave of Distinction Home
Enclave sellers should identify the original architectural design and document all meaningful customization whenever possible.
Marketing should lead with the features that cannot easily be recreated: lake frontage, preserve privacy, homesite position, actual living area, story configuration and garage capacity.
Pool enhancements, outdoor kitchens, custom interiors, smart-home technology, impact protection, landscaping and mechanical upgrades can then explain why the residence deserves different positioning from another home derived from the same original plan.

These communities are selected for buyers considering The Enclave's multimillion-dollar detached luxury homes. Residence scale, custom-home quality, privacy and realistic price competition take priority over whether each comparison has an identical amenity or club structure.
