Kachina Cliffs at Entrada | Luxury Homes for Sale in St. George, Utah

Kachina Cliffs at Entrada is one of the premier custom-home enclaves within the broader Entrada master-planned community in north St. George. The neighborhood sits on elevated terrain along the east side of Snow Canyon Parkway, with most homes positioned to capture direct views of Red Mountain, Snow Canyon State Park, Johnson Arch, the Scout Caves, and the Entrada Golf Course below. Lots here are unusually large for a gated luxury community, typically running between half an acre and 0.6 acres, which gives the homes a real sense of space and privacy from neighbors.

Buyers come to Kachina Cliffs for a specific combination: custom architecture set against an iconic Southern Utah backdrop, the security and amenities of one of the most established gated golf communities in the area, and the lifestyle that comes with full country club access. Recent sales and active listings have ranged from roughly $1.95 million to $5.775 million, with most established homes sitting between $2.0M and $3.5M and new construction by builders like Shakespeare Development setting the upper end of the market.

Understanding the Entrada Fee Structure

Recent listings have outlined the structure as follows:

• Neighborhood HOA dues: Approximately $135 to $155 per month, depending on the specific section of Kachina Cliffs. Covers common area maintenance, gated entry, private road, and partial yard maintenance in some sections.
• Mandatory Associate Country Club Membership: Approximately $210 to $234 per month. Required for all property owners in Entrada. Provides clubhouse, fitness center, pool, tennis, pickleball, and social access. Golf is not included at this membership level.
• Annual food minimum: $800 per year, spent at the on-site Sol Mesa or The Grille restaurants.
• Equity Golf Membership (optional): Approximately $125,000 buy-in plus $1,250 per month in dues, which adds full golf privileges on top of the associate membership.
• PMP Admin Fee: A one-time setup fee of approximately $285 charged to all new owners.
• Transfer fee: Varies by transaction. Confirm current amount with the HOA.

For buyers comparing Kachina Cliffs to other luxury gated communities, those numbers matter. A buyer who does not plan to use the golf course still pays the associate dues and the food minimum. A buyer who does want golf adds significant up-front and monthly costs. Building those numbers into your underwriting before you write an offer is essential.

Why Buyers Choose Kachina Cliffs

The buyers I take through Kachina Cliffs are almost always making a specific kind of decision. They want a custom home rather than tract production, on a real lot with space between them and their neighbors. They want a gated luxury community with established amenities and a known address line in the Southern Utah luxury market. And they want the kind of view that becomes the defining feature of the home rather than a nice extra.

Kachina Cliffs delivers all three. The lot sizes are genuinely larger than most luxury subdivisions in the area, which gives the architecture room to breathe. The Entrada community has been established for decades, so the streetscape, the landscaping, and the social fabric of the neighborhood are settled rather than developer-fresh. And the views are the kind you fly out here to see, framed directly from inside the homes through floor-to-ceiling windows.

Custom Construction and Shakespeare Development

Kachina Cliffs is one of the few luxury Entrada subdivisions where new custom construction is still actively happening. Shakespeare Development has been the most active custom builder in recent years, with multiple homes completed and additional lots still available for custom builds. Recent new construction has sold between approximately $3.2M and $5.8M depending on size, finish level, and lot position.

What custom construction in this neighborhood typically includes: SubZero and Wolf appliance packages, prep kitchens, smart automation systems, multi-zone HVAC, private pools with cover systems or grottos, outdoor BBQ areas and built-in kitchens, oversized garages for vehicles and toys, and finish materials that match the desert-modern aesthetic of the neighborhood. For buyers focused on brand-new construction at this level, see St. George new construction for the broader market context.

The Entrada Country Club

The Entrada Country Club is the social and recreational anchor of the community. The amenity package available to all property owners through the associate membership includes:

• Clubhouse with two on-site restaurants (Sol Mesa and The Grille)
• Indoor and outdoor pools
• Fitness center
• Tennis and pickleball courts
• Event center
• Social calendar with clubs, classes (yoga, Pilates), and member events
• Hiking access into the surrounding red rock terrain

Equity golf members add access to the Entrada Golf Course, which is a private 18-hole course designed by Johnny Miller. For buyers who do not play golf, the associate-level amenities alone are substantial. For golfers, the equity membership is what opens up the full lifestyle.

Location and Day-to-Day Convenience

Kachina Cliffs sits in north St. George, with the gated entry off Snow Canyon Parkway. From most homes you are 10 to 15 minutes to downtown St. George, the hospital, and the main retail and dining clusters. Snow Canyon State Park is essentially next door for hiking, biking, and exploration. Ivins, Santa Clara, and the broader Snow Canyon Parkway corridor are minutes away.

For weekend trips you are well-positioned for Zion, the Pine Valley Mountains, and the Northern Arizona destinations. The St. George Regional Airport is about 20 minutes away for travel. For buyers relocating from out of state who want a luxury home in a setting that genuinely feels like Southern Utah rather than suburban anywhere, the location is one of the strongest aspects of the neighborhood.

Schools

• Elementary: Coral Cliffs Elementary, Red Mountain Elementary, or Santa Clara Elementary depending on the specific lot
• Intermediate: Lava Ridge Intermediate
• Middle: Snow Canyon Middle
• High: Snow Canyon High

Elementary boundaries cut through Kachina Cliffs at multiple points, so the school assignment varies by lot position. For most buyers at this price point, schools are not the primary driver, but if they matter to you, verify the current assignment for the specific address with the Washington County School District. Background context is in the St. George schools guide.

What to Watch For in a Kachina Cliffs Home

Diligence at this price point centers on the home itself, the lot, and the fee structure.

• HOA disclosure package: Pull the current Entrada HOA disclosure, including dues, reserves, and any pending special assessments. Also pull the current country club disclosure and verify associate dues, food minimums, and any equity membership terms.
• Country club membership status: Confirm whether the seller holds an equity membership and what happens to it at close. Equity memberships are a separate asset and need to be handled in the contract.
• Lot position and view exposure: Walk the property at different times of day to understand actual view exposure. Photos and listing language can overstate or understate the view.
• Custom builder quality: New construction in Kachina Cliffs is custom and quality varies between builders. Investigate the specific builder for the home you are considering.
• Pool and spa equipment: Older pools may need significant equipment refresh. Verify recent service history and remaining equipment life.
• Smart automation systems: Many homes include integrated automation. Verify that systems are transferable, documented, and that you understand maintenance requirements.
• Casita and ADU compliance: If a home includes a separate casita or ADU configuration, verify permit status and any rules around occupancy.
• HVAC and major systems: Even on premium homes, mechanical systems have a finite life. Verify ages and replacement history.

Selling a Home at Kachina Cliffs

Kachina Cliffs has a specific buyer pool. Most are out-of-state luxury second-home buyers, high-net-worth retirees, or relocating professionals looking for an established gated community with the right combination of architecture, views, and lifestyle. They tend to be patient, well-informed, and willing to wait for the right combination of lot position, view, and finish.

The homes that sell most efficiently are the ones priced honestly against true Kachina Cliffs comps, with photography that captures the view exposure accurately, and with clear disclosure of the full fee structure up front. The homes that struggle are usually priced ahead of the comp set, or have a fee structure surprise that pushes buyers away after they have already invested time in the property.
