Ensconced Woods by McDonald Construction Partners

Ensconced Woods is a custom home neighborhood in Chaska shaped by the natural landscape that surrounds it. Tucked among mature trees and rolling terrain, the community was designed to preserve the wooded character of the site while creating a quiet residential setting with spacious homesites and private backyard views. Curving streets, preserved tree cover, and walkout opportunities give the neighborhood a distinct sense of place throughout every season. Located near the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Hazeltine National Golf Club, and the Chaska trail system, Ensconced Woods offers access to recreation, golf, nature trails, and regional parks while remaining connected to Historic Downtown Chaska and Highway 212. The neighborhood is part of East Carver County School District 112 and features custom homes designed with flexible layouts, open gathering spaces, expansive windows, screen porches, lower-level entertainment areas, and indoor-outdoor living elements that reflect the wooded surroundings. Ensconced Woods was planned for buyers seeking new construction in a setting defined by natural scenery and architectural individuality. The result is a community that feels established from day one, with homes integrated into the landscape rather than built around it.
