In a constantly connected culture, where to-do lists never end, carefree time is the ultimate luxury. And that is precisely what Enclave Bellerive offers its residents, says managing director Chris Vatterott.
Located in Creve Coeur, Enclave Bellerive features 55 properties on more than 40 acres. The custom-built, single-family homes, priced between $950,000 and $1.4 million, offer a careful balance of modern conveniences and elegant ambiance and come on quarter- to half-acre lots, Vatterott says. “Enclave Bellerive is geared to busy professionals and homeowners downsizing from larger properties who will not compromise about the appearance and quality of their home,” he says. “They want new, they want modern, they want technologically advanced and trouble-free. And that’s what we provide.”
The development currently has two display homes available for sale. “One is the Sheridan model, a unique house with a front and rear courtyard with a gated turret entrance,” Vatterott describes.
Professionals on the go and retirees who leave during the dreary Missouri winters will find property upkeep a breeze at Enclave Bellerive: The homeowners association provides year-round lawn maintenance, tree care and snow removal. “We have a lot of interest from busy professionals who travel and appreciate the carefree lifestyle associated with a cared-for, manicured development in a centralized location,” Vatterott says. And because the development features only native Missouri plants, less water and work are needed for a lush, manicured look. “This makes it more convenient, because it’s hard to maintain exotic trees and plants,” Vatterott says. “We like native plants because there’s a greater likelihood of survivors.”
Beyond convenience, Enclave Bellerive, nestled among rolling hills, also provides a peaceful oasis from the busy world. “We have more than 1,000 trees and 10 acres of common ground,” Vatterott says. “We have brick serpentine walls, a reflecting pond with waterfall and fountain, and more than half a mile of walking paths, all located within the gated community.”
Anyone considering condo life who doesn’t want to give up the privacy of a single-family home or the pleasures of direct outdoor access would love Enclave Bellerive, Vatterott says. “We compete with condo living in terms of price points and features. When people reach the point in their lives where they want a more carefree existence because they’re busy professionals, or they’re retired and want the freedom to be able to walk away from all residential housing responsibilities at the drop of a hat—that’s what Enclave Bellerive is all about.”
