Kachina Springs at Entrada | Patio Homes for Sale in St. George, Utah

Kachina Springs at Entrada is the patio-home side of the Entrada master-planned community, a collection of single-level homes built on small lots where the HOA handles yard care and most of the landscaping. If Kachina Cliffs is the custom-build estate side of Entrada with half-acre lots and seven-figure architecture, Kachina Springs is the turnkey, lock-and-leave side. Same gated community, same red rock views, same country club access, very different commitment when it comes to upkeep.

Most buyers here fall into one of two camps. The first is the second-home owner who wants a winter residence in St. George or Ivins and does not want to think about yard work, sprinklers, or curb appeal while they are gone for six months. The second is the empty-nester moving down from a larger home who is ready to trade square footage and a yard for travel, views, and a built-in social community. The product fits both groups well.

The Four Sub-Phases of Kachina Springs

One thing worth understanding upfront: "Kachina Springs at Entrada" is actually four sub-phases that have been built out over more than two decades. The MLS lists them under slightly different names, and the price ranges between them are wide enough that buyers can get confused when they see a $700,000 listing on the same search page as a $2.5 million listing. Here is how they actually break down on the ground.

Kachina Springs (original section)

The original phase, addressed along 2410 W Entrada Trail, was built between 2000 and 2013. Homes sit on the Entrada Golf Course, most in the 2,400 to 2,900 square foot range, with several backing directly to the 7th and 8th fairways. Recent sales have closed between $1.175 million and $1.375 million, with sold price per square foot landing in the $428 to $538 range depending on view exposure and finishes. This phase has the most golf course frontage and the strongest view lots in the whole Kachina Springs footprint.

Kachina Springs East and Escapes at Entrada

Centered on 2139 W Cougar Rock Cir, this is the most active part of the neighborhood and the entry point for buyers who want into Entrada at a more reasonable number. Builds run from 2010 to 2021, floor plans are typically 1,887 to 2,367 square feet, and pricing currently runs from the mid $600,000s to about $950,000. Many of these homes were originally purchased as second homes and have been lightly used, which is why so many come to market either fully furnished or with furniture negotiable.

Kachina Springs East (Entrada Trail luxury side)

Addressed along 2331 W Entrada Trail, this stretch of the East phase is a step up in size and price. Homes here run from roughly 2,455 square feet up to nearly 6,000 square feet, including the only homes in Kachina Springs with finished basements. Active and recent sold pricing has run from $1.565 million to $2.5 million. This is where buyers land when they want patio-home convenience but need more square footage, a casita, or space for visiting family.

Kachina Springs South

The newer 2015 and later phase along 2405 W Entrada Trail. Builds here feature the most current finishes and floor plans within Kachina Springs, with pricing landing in the $1.3 million range. Smaller phase by total home count, but the inventory tends to be in excellent condition because the homes are still relatively new.

What You Actually Get for the HOA Dues

This is the part of Entrada ownership that catches new buyers by surprise. The fee structure is layered, mandatory in places, and it varies slightly between phases. The clearest way to think about it: there is the HOA payment, the country club piece, and a small annual food spend at the club restaurant.

Total mandatory monthly carry for most owners, before any optional golf membership, lands somewhere between $500 and $625. That is significant, but you are also getting yard care, road maintenance, gate security, and a full country club amenity package included. Buyers comparing this to a non-HOA home need to remember that the yard service and the gym membership and the resort pool access would all be separate line items elsewhere.

Who Builds and Lives Here

Architectural style across Kachina Springs is consistent Southwestern desert contemporary, stucco and rock exteriors, flat roofs, and a clear focus on indoor-outdoor flow. Most homes feature open floor plans, 10 to 12 foot ceilings, expansive butted-glass windows oriented toward the red rock or the golf course, gas fireplaces, and finishes like Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, granite or quartz counters, and stone accents. Casitas are common in the East phase and provide a separate guest suite for visiting family, which is a meaningful feature given how many owners use these as second homes.

The community itself skews older and quieter than St. George neighborhoods aimed at families. Retirees, semi-retired professionals, and second-home owners are the dominant demographics. The pickleball and tennis courts get heavy use, the clubhouse hosts regular social events, and the trail system through the surrounding desert is one of the under-discussed benefits of living in this part of north St. George. Snow Canyon State Park sits at the back door, and the Black Desert Resort, Tuacahn Amphitheatre, and Ivins commercial corridor are all within a five to ten minute drive.

Schools and Location

Kachina Springs sits in the Washington County School District, with elementary assignment varying slightly by which phase the home is in. Most homes feed to Red Mountain Elementary, with some sections assigned to Coral Cliffs, Coral Canyon, or Arrowhead depending on the specific address. Upper grades feed through Lava Ridge Intermediate, Snow Canyon Middle, and Snow Canyon High. Full details on local schools are on the St. George schools page.

The neighborhood sits right on the St. George and Ivins border. Some addresses are technically Ivins, some are St. George, and the line cuts through the community in places that surprise people. For most practical purposes (groceries, dining, services) you will be using both cities depending on what you need. Santa Clara is also a few minutes away and worth considering for buyers comparing nearby areas.

How Kachina Springs Compares to the Rest of Entrada

Buyers shopping Entrada generally come down to a clear choice. Kachina Cliffs is the custom-home side: half-acre lots, your own landscaping, your own yard, custom architecture, and pricing that starts around $2 million and runs north of $5 million for new construction. Kachina Springs is the patio-home side: small lots, HOA-managed yard, single-level floor plans, and pricing that starts in the high $600,000s.

Same gate guard, same amenity access, same red rock backdrop, very different ownership experience. Most buyers know within about ten minutes which side they belong on. Buyers planning to use the home as a long-term primary residence, with room to garden and entertain on their own grounds, usually land on Cliffs. Buyers who need the home to take care of itself while they are at their other house land on Springs.

For buyers comparing Entrada generally to other St. George options, the lifestyle alternatives worth weighing are St. George luxury homes in non-gated settings, other golf course communities like Sunbrook or The Ledges, and the broader condo and townhome inventory for buyers who want even less maintenance than Kachina Springs offers.

What Sells and What Sits

Recent data tells a clear story. Updated homes with strong views and turnkey furniture packages move quickly, often in single digit days on market and sometimes at or above asking. The home at 2139 W Cougar Rock Cir #179 closed at $900,000 in five days against an $879,000 list, fully furnished and recently updated. The home at #169 closed in four days at $964,000 fully furnished. Updated condition plus turnkey plus a real view sells fast.

Homes that need updating, sit on interior lots without strong views, or are priced ahead of the comps tend to sit and eventually reduce. The Cougar Rock #182 sale at $800,000 came after 200 days on market and started at $925,000. The lesson for sellers is straightforward: realistic pricing from day one beats chasing the market down, and modest updates to flooring, paint, and finishes return well above their cost in this neighborhood.
