A SHELTERED RETREAT HONORING FAMILY AND NATURE
CHASKA, MINNESOTA
WELCOME
We invite you to explore Ensconced Woods, a new community designed to connect its residents with nature and one another. Nestled among mature trees on the southwest edge of the Twin Cities metro area, Ensconced Woods provides an ideal setting for families looking to build their dream home in a quiet neighborhood away from the bustle of typical suburbia.
Ensconced Woods is situated just west of the picturesque city of Chaska, a historic river town founded in the late 19th century. Characterized by a rich history of agriculture, faith and progress, perhaps most notably as a major brick producer for the region, Chaska has continued to grow, welcoming new industries and nurturing an engaged community. Today, Chaska offers a variety of local amenities, enabling Ensconced Woods to deliver a quaint picturesque feel while still offering convenient access to many retail, restaurants, services and entertainment options.
The neighborhood site has been lovingly stewarded over the past 50 years by two local families, the Carlsons and the Roblings. Having settled here to raise their own families, they are now excited to offer the opportunity for other families to enjoy the natural beauty of the slopes and bluffs above the Minnesota River Valley. In honor of their commitment to nature, Ensconced Woods is being developed with the highest sensitivity to the ecology of the site. The lots were designed to preserve as many trees as possible and minimize disruption to the hydrology and local wildlife, yet still offer flexible options for basements and beautiful backyard views.
