First, thank you for your support of Encanterra. Our Members are what make our community such a special place to call home. This journey began nearly 20 years ago, and the progress from where we began to where we are now is incredible to see, particularly as we approach the completion of new home sales, likely in the next two years.

Knowing the importance of this next stage of our journey, we wanted to take this opportunity to provide a brief update on happenings within the community.

New Homes Sales & Construction

As of today, 2,266 of the community’s 2,345 homes have been sold—bringing us closer than ever to completing the Encanterra vision. This includes 1,952 single family homes, 302 resort homes, and 12 condos. With only 34 single family homes, 2 resort homes, and 33 condos still available, we’re entering the final phase of development. It’s a moment worth celebrating—and it wouldn’t be possible without the trust each of you placed in our team.

Club Leadership

In early August, our current Club General Manager, Trish Huff, will be leaving to take on a similar role at Trilogy La Quinta in southern California. We appreciate all the work Trish has done in her years here, and we of course wish her the best in her new endeavor.

As was recently announced, we are excited to welcome John Reyhons as the new Club General Manager. John has been a part of the BlueStar team for years, and before his time with their group, he led such prestigious clubs as Stock Farm in Montana, and Castle Pines and Roaring Fork in Colorado. We look forward to John bringing his ability and experience to our club.

Club Performance and Financial Reporting

Looking back at 2024, the Club experienced higher-than-expected expenses driven primarily by increased Member usage, inflationary pressure, planned capital projects, and an increased focus on preventive maintenance. Fortunately, these increases were largely offset by similarly higher-than-expected revenues. This balanced performance is ultimately a positive result in many ways.

As for 2025, we’re largely on plan, and we anticipate an important fall season ahead as we continue to improve our operations and offerings.

Looking to the end of this year and beyond, we are examining ways to improve communication around the Club’s financial performance. As part of this initiative, we plan to provide more comprehensive financial reporting, including narrative summaries that accompany both budget forecasts and year-end actuals to the Association, who in turn will be able to share that information with you.

This enhanced process will begin with a soon-to-be-published comparison of the 2024 budgeted results and the 2024 actual results. (In the future, the summaries will be provided in conjunction with the applicable financials.) The goal is to help ensure members have a clearer understanding of what drives Club Dues.

Updates to Club Policies

Over the next few months, we plan to implement operational changes that we believe will enhance your experience. Most notably, we’re introducing a new Club Policy regarding non-Member dining to reinforce the exclusive nature of your membership. Starting in January, we plan to reserve our dining facilities – Palma, Tapas, the Bodega, and Solaz – for Members, their guests, specific Club-related guests, and prospective Members. We will continue to host special events for non-Member groups in the Club’s many banquet areas, in addition to occasional special event access to the golf course.

Once this change is implemented, we will also closely watch how it affects business performance, and, if necessary, there may be considerations made to be more accommodating of non-Member dining at certain times of the year. While we do not anticipate that need given our expected increase in usage by our Members, it’s important to ensure we can maintain steady business volumes in order to retain our important frontline team members.

Between now and January, we’ll be offering further guidance on how Members can make arrangements for guests as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions on MTL

As the community has grown, we have begun to receive more questions from Members about the club operations. To address the questions that seem to come up often, we thought it best to provide answers for everyone to see. Thus, we have added a new subsection to the “Resort Club” section of MTL to highlight common questions and the answers. That part of the site is live now and available for Members to view anytime. You can visit the new FAQ section here.

Thank you again for being such an integral part of the Encanterra community. We are excited about what the future holds and grateful to share this journey with you.

Sincerely,

Drew Owens
