ABOUT THE ENCLAVE OF DISTINCTION
The Enclave of Distinction is an intimate gated community of just 27 luxury single-family homes set on nearly 18 acres in North Naples. Located off Livingston Road between Mediterra and Talis Park, the neighborhood is designed around privacy, generous residential space and a low-density setting rather than an extensive resort-style amenity package. Two lakes, preserve areas, open green space and landscaped buffers surround the community, while brick-paved streets and sidewalks create an attractive and cohesive residential environment.
Homes are substantial one- and two-story residences designed by Stofft Cooney Architects, with living areas generally ranging from approximately 3,200 to more than 5,000 square feet. Three-, four- and five-bedroom configurations provide generous living and entertaining spaces, while three-car garages, private swimming pools, high ceilings and expansive outdoor living areas are characteristic of the residences. Lake, preserve and landscaped views create different settings throughout the neighborhood, and individual homes may vary in layout, finishes, upgrades and outdoor features.
What distinguishes The Enclave of Distinction is its deliberately small scale. Rather than supporting a large clubhouse, golf course or recreational complex, the community focuses on spacious private homes and a quiet neighborhood environment. A private park provides a shared gathering space, while the community's location offers convenient access to North Naples shopping, dining, beaches, parks and I-75.

What You Need to Know About Living in The Enclave of Distinction
This Is a Very Small Community: With only 27 residences, opportunities to purchase within The Enclave of Distinction can naturally be limited compared with larger Naples developments.
There Is No Traditional Clubhouse or Resort Complex: Buyers looking for community pools, fitness facilities, tennis, pickleball or a golf course will not find those amenities within the neighborhood.
The Lifestyle Is Centered Around the Individual Home: Private pools, outdoor kitchens, lanais and entertaining spaces provide much of the recreation homeowners might otherwise seek through shared facilities.
Homes Are Not Identical: Although the residences share a cohesive architectural standard, floor plan, size, finishes, views, pool configuration and individual improvements can differ from property to property.
Homesites Matter: Lake, preserve and landscaped settings provide different views, exposures and levels of privacy.
HOA Responsibilities Have Defined Limits: Buyers should review current association documents to understand fees, common-area maintenance, landscaping responsibilities and obligations associated with the individual residence.
Association Rules Apply: Leasing, pets, parking, architectural changes and other property-use matters should be verified through the current governing documents.
THE ENCLAVE OF DISTINCTION AMENITIES
The Enclave of Distinction intentionally takes a different approach to amenities than many luxury Naples communities. Rather than maintaining a large clubhouse or recreational complex, the neighborhood emphasizes private residential amenities, landscaped open space and a low-density environment.
A private landscaped park provides a gathering area for residents, while two lakes, preserve areas, green space and landscaped perimeter buffers contribute to the community's natural surroundings. Brick-paved streets, sidewalks and gated access complete the neighborhood environment.
Recreation is primarily centered around the individual residences, with private swimming pools and generous outdoor living areas designed into the homes. There is no community swimming pool, golf course, fitness center or racquet-sports complex. For buyers who prefer to enjoy those amenities privately at home rather than support a large shared facility, that simplicity can be one of the community's greatest advantages.
THE ENCLAVE OF DISTINCTION FLOOR PLANS
We’re pleased to provide available floor plans as a complimentary resource to help you better understand the layouts and living options found within the community. While we aim to include a variety of plans, not every floor plan may be represented, and individual homes may vary from the original designs due to builder selections, renovations, or improvements made over time. If you’re looking for a specific layout or would like help identifying a particular floor plan, feel free to reach out at 239.287.2576. We’re happy to assist.
