Encanterra Homes for Sale in the San Tan Valley Area, AZ 85140

Encanterra is a Shea Homes Trilogy country club community at Combs and Gantzel roads in Pinal County, ZIP 85140, on the edge of San Tan Valley. It mixes 55+ resort neighborhoods with homes open to all ages, built around a private Tom Lehman golf course, the large La Casa clubhouse, pools, a spa and sports courts.

I'm Terry Day with DeLex Realty. Many buyers still search for Encanterra as a San Tan Valley community, because that is what it was when it opened. Today it is part of the Town of Queen Creek, and I cover that side in my Encanterra Queen Creek guide. This page focuses on the resort lifestyle, the 55+ side, its early history and the San Tan Valley area around it.

Where Encanterra is

Encanterra sits at Combs Road and Gantzel Road in the northern part of Pinal County, ZIP 85140. Shea's sales center is at 1035 E. Combs Road. From Loop 202, the usual route is State Route 24 to Ellsworth, Riggs and Combs roads, and from US 60 you can take Ironwood Drive south to Combs Road. Shea describes the drive to downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale as about 45 minutes.

State Route 24 is a 5-mile interim road from Loop 202 to Ironwood Drive today. Widening is planned to start in late 2026, with completion estimated in mid-2029, which should make the trip toward the airport and the East Valley easier over time.

Encanterra and San Tan Valley

When Encanterra opened, it was part of unincorporated San Tan Valley in Pinal County. In 2019 the Town of Queen Creek annexed the community, so it is now inside Queen Creek even though it is still in Pinal County. In September 2025, the rest of the area became the new Town of San Tan Valley, Arizona's newest town, which sits next door. That is why you will see Encanterra listed under Queen Creek, San Tan Valley and Pinal County depending on the source. San Tan Valley's shopping, services and the San Tan Mountain Regional Park are all part of daily life here.

History

Shea Homes built Encanterra as part of its Trilogy resort communities. A Shea announcement from around 2007 said the private club was slated to open in early 2008, with a Tom Lehman course, a day spa, fitness center, resort-style and junior Olympic pools and a restaurant. The community has been growing since then.

The homes

Encanterra is a partial 55+ community. Select Trilogy neighborhoods are age-restricted, and other neighborhoods are open to all ages. Shea doesn't publish a simple map of which is which, so I check the specific neighborhood for every home. Homes are mostly single-family, and some back to the golf course.

Shea still has a sales center in the community. If you want to compare a new Shea home with a resale, read my guide to using a buyer's agent for new construction and ask me what is available now. For more on the 55+ side, see my Queen Creek 55+ homes page.

Things to do

  • Golf: a private 18-hole, par-72 Tom Lehman course with views of the Superstition and San Tan mountains. It has hosted the Gateway Tour Championship and US Open sectional qualifying.
  • Dining: Palma Kitchen & Tap and the swim-up Solaz Grill.
  • Club amenities: pools, a spa, fitness center, pickleball and other sports courts, an art studio and a Culinary Studio with cooking classes.
  • Clubs and events: homeowner-led clubs and Trilogy lifestyle programs.
  • San Tan Mountain Regional Park: more than 10,000 acres of Maricopa County parkland with trails and a nature center.

Schools

School information for Encanterra differs by source. Shea lists Queen Creek Unified schools, Jack Barnes Elementary and Eastmark High School, while current MLS listings in the community show J.O. Combs Unified schools: Ellsworth Elementary, Combs Middle School and Combs High School. Please confirm with both districts for the specific address before you buy.

HOA basics

Homes in Encanterra are part of the Encanterra Community Association, which runs the clubhouse and amenities. Rules and costs can differ between the 55+ neighborhoods and the all-ages neighborhoods. Before you buy, read the CC&Rs, the age-restriction rules if they apply, rental rules and the reserve study.

Buying in Encanterra

I compare each home with recent sales in the same neighborhood and on the same side of the age line, since 55+ and all-ages homes can price differently. Golf frontage, views and the home's distance from La Casa all matter. If you want to ask about a lower-rate loan, see my assumable mortgage guide, and if you are new to Arizona, read first steps to buying a home in Arizona.

Selling your Encanterra home

Encanterra buyers often compare it with other resort communities in the southeast Valley and with new homes from Shea. Your pricing should reflect your neighborhood, lot and upgrades, and your marketing should show off the club lifestyle. Read how to price your Arizona home to sell, then call me for a pricing review.

Questions buyers ask

Is Encanterra in San Tan Valley or Queen Creek?
Encanterra is in the Town of Queen Creek, which annexed it in 2019, but it is still in Pinal County next to San Tan Valley. Before that, it was part of unincorporated San Tan Valley, so you will still see it listed that way.

Is Encanterra a 55+ community?
Encanterra is partly 55+. Select Trilogy neighborhoods are age-restricted, and other neighborhoods are open to all ages, so check the specific home.

Is the Encanterra golf course private?
Yes, the Tom Lehman course is private. Ask me or the club about how membership works for a specific home.

What schools serve Encanterra?
Sources differ: Shea lists Queen Creek Unified, while MLS listings show J.O. Combs Unified. Confirm with both districts for the specific address.
