Jonathan Elementary School (GreatSchools 6/10) Pioneer Ridge Middle School (GreatSchools 8/10) Chanhassen High School (GreatSchools 9/10) Ratings from GreatSchools.com
STANDOUT FEATURE: A true boutique community with only ~14 homesites, featuring heavily wooded lots and elevated views that create a more secluded, nature-driven environment.
WHAT TO KNOW: Homesites are intentionally varied, with many offering walkout potential and more usable space than typical new construction lots. There's no HOA or shared amenities, so the focus is entirely on the individual home and land rather than neighborhood features. The limited size means fewer opportunities and less turnover, which can impact availability. Compared to Ensconced Woods or The Glade at Chevalle, Carlson Bluffs stands out for privacy and custom- home feel, but it's not a fit for buyers looking for walkability, amenities, or a more active neighborhood setting.
Ensconced Woods BEST FIT: Custom and move-up buyers who want a heavily wooded setting with a more private, design-driven feel.
Price Range: $1.3-1.6M Builder: McDonald Construction, Johnson-Reiland Home Sizes: 2,714-4,293 SQF Distance To Target: 10 min
Single Family Ramblers & Two Story Homes
None. HOA:
Clover Ridge Elementary School: 8/10 Pioneer Ridge Middle School: 8/10
Chanhassen High School: 9/10 Ratings from GreatSchools.com
STANDOUT FEATURE: Homes are integrated into mature woods and natural terrain, preserving trees and elevation instead of flattening lots like most new construction.
WHAT TO KNOW: With roughly 25–30 homes, inventory is limited and opportunities don't come up often. Homesites are highly variable, with many offering walkout potential, wooded backdrops, and irregular lot shapes that allow for creative home design. There's no HOA or centralized amenities, so the value is tied to the land and custom home quality rather than shared features. Compared to Carlson Bluffs, Ensconced Woods carries a similar boutique feel but with slightly more inventory turnover; it's not suited for buyers looking for walkability, amenities, or a more traditional neighborhood feel.
