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.

Haven A substantial single-story design originally documented around the 3,200-square-foot range with an office, three-car garage and private pool.
Retreat A customizable luxury design suited to buyers seeking substantial indoor and outdoor living without the scale of the largest Enclave residences.
Sanctuary A larger two-story design represented with multiple ensuite bedrooms, den, loft, substantial entertaining areas and three-car garage.
Oasis An upper luxury design emphasizing generous living area, lake or preserve relationships and large private outdoor spaces.
Edgewater Part of the community's larger luxury-home spectrum and designed around the same indoor-outdoor architectural philosophy.
Customization Actual completed homes can differ materially from published original plans, so current measurements and property records should control.

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.

Actual completed square footage matters more than the original model brochure. Custom modifications can change living area, bedroom count, lofts, offices, outdoor rooms and other structural components.

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.

Water Width Longer and broader lake views can produce greater visual depth.
Fountain Relationship Some homes can frame community water features within the principal view.
Rear Exposure Orientation affects afternoon pool sunlight, morning light and sunset conditions.
Interior Visibility Evaluate lake views from the great room, kitchen, primary suite and principal outdoor-living spaces.

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.

Pool & Spa Review surface, pumps, filtration, heater, automation and water features.
Covered Lanai Compare usable shaded living area rather than total screened area alone.
Outdoor Kitchen Evaluate appliance package, cabinetry, gas service, refrigeration and ventilation.
View Relationship The best outdoor environments are integrated with lake, preserve or landscaped views.

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.

Compare the finished property, not simply the construction status. A resale may already include improvements that would otherwise become post-closing expenses, while a newly completed builder home may offer different warranty and specification advantages.

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.

Current Assessments Verify recurring HOA charges and included services.
Reserve Funding Review reserves and planned gate, roadway, lake or common-area projects.
Gate & Common Areas Understand current maintenance and security responsibilities.
Architectural Standards Review exterior modifications, landscaping, generators, additions and future construction.
Leasing & Occupancy Confirm current rental and residency provisions.
Pets & Vehicles Verify current community rules before purchase.

Impact Protection, Roofing & Major Systems

Newer construction is an advantage, but buyers should still verify the actual installed systems for the specific residence.

Impact Openings Confirm windows, exterior doors, sliders and garage protection.
Roof Review material, installation date, warranty and permit documentation.
HVAC Large luxury homes may use multiple systems, zones and humidity control.
Generator Verify whether a generator is installed, generator-ready or absent.
Pool Equipment Review pumps, heater, filtration, automation and spa equipment.
Smart Systems Confirm subscriptions, equipment ownership, support and transferability.

What Enclave Buyers Should Compare

Original Design Haven, Retreat, Sanctuary, Oasis or Edgewater.
Actual Living Area Use completed measurements rather than brochure dimensions.
Story Configuration Single-story and two-story homes serve different buyer preferences.
Homesite Lake, preserve, landscaped, corner or interior positioning.
Rear Exposure Evaluate sunlight, shade and pool orientation.
Pool & Outdoor Living Compare pool, spa, covered lanai, outdoor kitchen and view.
Garage Review true three-car usability, storage and EV equipment.
Customization Document structural modifications from the original model.
Construction Quality Compare windows, doors, cabinetry, appliances and finish level.
Storm Protection Verify every exterior opening and applicable equipment.
HOA Review current fees, reserves and architectural obligations.
Comparable Sales Prioritize direct Enclave transactions and truly similar luxury homes.

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.

Preferred valuation sequence: The Enclave of Distinction → original design and actual living area → story configuration → lake, preserve or landscaped homesite → rear exposure → private pool and outdoor living → garage → customization → construction quality → storm protection and systems → direct closed sales → same-scale multimillion-dollar Naples luxury communities.

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.

Comparison logic: Naples Club Estates provides the strongest low-density non-golf custom estate comparison. Mediterra and Talis Park are particularly relevant North Naples luxury alternatives, while Quail West provides another multimillion-dollar custom-estate market. Private-club membership and costs in those golf communities must be evaluated separately.

North Naples Location Between Mediterra & Talis Park

The Enclave of Distinction is located off Livingston Road in North Naples, between the Mediterra and Talis Park areas.

The location provides convenient access toward Mercato, Gulf beaches, shopping, dining, healthcare, Interstate 75 and Southwest Florida International Airport while retaining an intimate private-community setting.

For luxury buyers who want newer construction without the expense and obligations of a major private club, the combination of location, low density and substantial private-home amenities gives The Enclave a distinct market position.
