Why Live in Encantado

Homes here are single-family Santa Fe-style, built between the 1980s and 2020s, characterized by Pueblo-style architecture with tan stucco exteriors and flat roofs supported by vigas. Encantado’s unmarked trails and arroyos weave through the woodlands, offering residents a natural retreat.
