This community offers a guarded security entrance and beautiful wooded 3/4 acre lots. Our homeowners can enjoy country living at its finest along with low taxes! Not to mention your kids will have access to the highly sought after Dayton Independent School District. Come and make your escape to the country where you can listen to the crickets sing from your front porch.

TRUE ACREAGE LIVING VS. THE CROWDED SUBDIVISION: ENCINO ESTATES

In the growing Dayton corridor, homebuyers face a clear choice. Down the road, high-density master-planned developments like River Ranch sell narrow, two-story starter boxes on 50-foot pocket lots—weighed down by burdensome MUD taxes, PID assessments, and steep monthly HOA fees that fund shared community amenities.

Encino Estates by Kendall Homes takes an entirely different approach. Nestled among towering native pine trees just north of Dayton off CR 1008, Encino Estates offers private, wooded 3/4-acre homesites paired with an ultra-low 1.17% tax rate (after homestead) and low annual HOA dues.

Rather than paying thousands of dollars a year to tax districts and associations for a crowded community pool you have to share with hundreds of neighbors, Encino Estates gives you the land and financial freedom to build your own private amenities—whether that is a custom resort-style pool, a detached workshop, an outdoor pavilion, or dedicated parking for your boat and RV.

PURPOSE-BUILT FOR ACREAGE: SUBSTANCE OVER SQUARE-FOOT SHORTCUTS

We refuse to build cheap, narrow "boxes" designed to squeeze onto small suburban lots. Ranging from approximately 1,829 to over 3,200 square feet, our single-story and sprawling multi-level residences are engineered with broad horizontal footprints that command the streetscape and make full architectural use of your 3/4-acre property.

Wooded 3/4-Acre Parcels: Deep, wide homesites enveloped by natural pine canopies offer built-in natural buffers, personal privacy, and expansive backyard depth.

Wide-Profile Floor Plans: Designed with open-concept central gathering rooms, split-wing bedroom suites for privacy, executive home studies, and grand sightlines that capture the wooded scenery.

3-Car Garages & Pull-Through Bays: Every floor plan accommodates generous three-car garage configurations, with select layouts offering our signature drive-through third-car garage bay for effortless pull-through access to your backyard and workshop.

High-Caliber Construction Standards: From engineered post-tension foundations and advanced thermal insulation envelopes to designer quartz/granite surfaces, custom-styled cabinetry, and substantial trim work, our homes are crafted to stand as long-term, multi-generational investments.
