The Enclave at Camas Meadows — Garrette Homes luxury community, Camas, WA

The Enclave at Camas Meadows is six homes. That's it. Six quarter-acre homesites on NW McMaster Drive in Camas, WA, built by Garrette Homes — the luxury division of Pacific Lifestyle Homes. Prices start at $1,367,000. The community sits near the Camas Meadows Golf Club in an established neighborhood pocket, surrounded by mature homes on all sides. It's not a sprawling subdivision. It's a small, private infill community designed for buyers who want a high-end new build in one of the most desirable parts of Clark County.

If you've already found this community online, driven past the homesites, or been referred by the sales team at Mountain Valley Estates, this page is the guide you should read before your next conversation with the builder.

What makes This Community worth considering

Start with scarcity. Six homesites is not a phase — it's the entire community. There is no phase two. When these six are spoken for, The Enclave at Camas Meadows is finished. For buyers who want a new construction home without the ongoing disruption of a multi-year, multi-phase build-out happening around them, that's a meaningful difference. You're not buying into a construction zone that will be evolving for the next five years. You're buying into an established pocket of Camas that happens to have six new homes going in.

Garrette Homes model interior — open living space with natural light

The location reinforces that. The Enclave sits near the Camas Meadows Golf Club, within an existing residential area. These aren't lots carved out of farmland at the edge of the urban growth boundary. They're infill sites surrounded by established homes, with the infrastructure, landscaping, and neighborhood character already in place. Camas Meadows Golf Club is right there. Downtown Camas — local restaurants, boutique shopping, the Fourth of July parade, the farmers market — is a short drive. And you're still close enough to the SE 192nd Avenue corridor for Costco, grocery stores, and the daily errands that actually matter more than charm.

The school district is a genuine draw. Camas School District consistently ranks among the top districts in Washington state. Grass Valley Elementary, Skyridge Middle, and Camas High School serve this community. For families making a buying decision that's partly about schools, Camas simplifies the equation in a way that some Vancouver-area communities can't.

Washington state's lack of income tax continues to matter for relocating buyers, especially those coming from Oregon or California. You're living on the Washington side, and Portland is twenty minutes away.

Floor plans and pricing overview

Garrette Homes offers eleven floor plans for The Enclave, ranging from efficient single-level designs under 2,000 square feet to estate-sized homes approaching 3,800 square feet. Buyers select a plan for their homesite, then work with the Garrette design team to customize finishes and options. This is where the Garrette brand differs from its parent company: Pacific Lifestyle Homes builds production homes at communities like The Nines at Camas Meadows. Garrette is positioned as the higher-end division — more willingness to work with buyers on custom requests and floor plan modifications, and higher-end features included in the base specification.

Single-Level Plans:

The Conifer — 1,982 sq ft, 3–4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. The smallest plan in the lineup, designed for buyers who want single-level living on a quarter-acre lot without the excess square footage.

The Holly — 2,119 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Another single-level option, slightly larger, for buyers who want everything on one floor.

The Jefferson — 2,500 sq ft, 3–4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 4-car or RV garage option. From $1,367,000. A single-level design with a chef's kitchen, butler's pantry, split bedroom layout, and the option for either a four-car garage or a two-car garage with an RV bay. This is the entry-point plan at the current listed price.

Two-Story Plans:

The St. Helens — 2,596 sq ft, 3–4 bedrooms, 2–3 bathrooms.

The Shasta — 2,909 sq ft, 3–4 bedrooms, 2.5–3 bathrooms.

The Aspen — 3,122 sq ft, 3–4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms. From $1,380,000. Primary suite on the main level with flexible upper-level spaces.

The Rainier — 3,213 sq ft, 4–5 bedrooms, 2.5–3.5 bathrooms. From $1,374,000. Multi-gabled exterior with options for a lower-profile roofline for buyers who prefer a different aesthetic.

The Shasta XL — 3,327 sq ft, 3–5 bedrooms, 2.5–4 bathrooms. An expanded version of The Shasta with additional flex space.

The Cascade — 3,379 sq ft, 3–5 bedrooms, 2.5–5 bathrooms.

The Alpine — 3,650 sq ft, 4–7 bedrooms, 3.5–5 bathrooms. From $1,375,000. The largest standard plan — up to seven bedrooms for buyers who need estate-level space or multi-generational flexibility.

The Shasta XXL — 3,756 sq ft, 4–5 bedrooms, 3.5–4 bathrooms. The largest footprint in the community.

Select plans include features like two-story great rooms, RV garages, optional bonus rooms, expansive outdoor living areas, and retreat-style primary suites. Every plan offers five exterior elevation options, so the six homes in The Enclave won't look like they were stamped from the same mold — assuming buyers choose different elevations.

What base price includes vs. what it doesn't

Garrette Homes markets its process around "clear upfront costs" and a "curated design experience." The base prices listed above include the lot, the home as designed in the selected floor plan, and the standard specification. What they don't include — and what will meaningfully affect your total cost — are the design selections and upgrades you make during the personalization process, any structural modifications to the plan, and any lot premium that applies to your specific homesite.

Garrette is more willing than many production builders to entertain custom requests and modifications to their floor plans. That flexibility is part of what justifies the price point. But every modification has a cost, and understanding which modifications represent genuine value versus margin for the builder is a conversation worth having before you sit down in the design appointment.

What to watch out for

This is the section that matters. Everything above, the builder's website can tell you. What follows is what they won't.

Six lots means limited negotiation leverage — unless you know where to push. In a community of sixty homesites, the builder has incentive to move inventory. In a community of six, every lot is a significant percentage of the total project. The builder can afford to be patient. Buyers who walk in expecting the kind of flexibility they might find in a larger subdivision will be disappointed. That doesn't mean there's no room to negotiate — it means the negotiation happens in different places. Closing cost credits, rate buydowns, design appointment concessions, and timeline terms are all still in play. You just need to know which levers move when the builder has scarcity on their side.

The Garrette brand is Pacific Lifestyle's luxury tier — understand what that means. Garrette Homes is owned by Pacific Lifestyle Homes, the same company that builds The Nines at Camas Meadows and communities throughout the region. The Garrette brand represents the higher end of their portfolio: better base specifications, more willingness to accommodate custom requests, and a more personalized design process. That's a genuine step up. But the underlying company, contracts, and corporate infrastructure are Pacific Lifestyle. If you've researched Pacific Lifestyle's other communities, you're dealing with the same organization at a different price tier. That's not a negative — it's context that helps you calibrate expectations.

Lot premiums on six lots deserve careful scrutiny. With only six homesites, the variation between lots matters more than it would in a large community. Lot size, orientation, what you're facing, what's behind you, and where your lot sits relative to the street and neighboring properties all affect the premium. The site plan shows these lots arranged in a single row within an established neighborhood. Not all six lots offer the same exposure, privacy, or feel. Understanding the premium structure — and whether the premium on a particular lot is justified by what you actually get — is one of the most important conversations you'll have before committing.

No on-site model home. Garrette Homes is currently selling The Enclave from their Mountain Valley Estates model in Battle Ground, not from the community itself. That means you're evaluating the homes from floor plans, renderings, and a model home that represents the Garrette product but not this specific community. It's harder to walk the actual lot, feel the scale of the neighborhood, and understand the relationship between your future home and the existing homes around you. Visit the homesites in person before you commit — and visit more than once, at different times of day.

The purchase agreement is a Pacific Lifestyle contract. The contract you'll sign was written by Pacific Lifestyle's attorneys to protect Pacific Lifestyle. Warranty provisions, inspection timelines, change order policies, financing contingencies, and delay terms are all structured with the builder's interests in mind. At a purchase price north of $1.3 million, having someone review that contract whose only job is protecting your side of the table is not a suggestion. It's the minimum standard of due diligence.

Why bring your own representation

The sales office at The Enclave is staffed by people who work for Garrette Homes. That isn't a criticism — it's the job. But it means the lot premium, the Design Studio numbers, the incentives, and the contract all deserve a second set of eyes whose only obligation is to you. That's what we do, and everything we find goes in writing before you sign — here's how we work.

The builder's sales rep works for the builder

Garrette Homes' sales team is experienced and helpful. They'll walk you through the floor plan options, explain the design process, and make the prospect of building a $1.3 million home feel manageable and even exciting. That's their job. They're good at it.

They're also the builder's employees. Their role is to sell homes for Garrette at terms that work for Garrette. They're not going to tell you that the premium on a particular lot may not be justified by what you actually get relative to the lot next to it. They're not going to flag which design selections carry markups that would give you pause if you saw the actual cost. They're not going to suggest you push back on contract terms that tilt in the builder's favor — because those terms exist to protect the company that signs their paycheck.

That's not an indictment. It's the structure of the transaction. The builder has a sales team. The builder has attorneys. The builder has a design process optimized for the builder's margin. At this price point, the question isn't whether the experience feels good. The question is whether you have someone at the table whose only job is protecting your money.

Independent representation on new construction isn't about adding a layer of bureaucracy. It's about having someone who understands lot premiums, design markups, contract language, and the specific leverage points on a build like this — and whose financial incentive is aligned with yours, not the builder's.

Your options with The Tartan Team

The sales team at The Enclave represents Garrette Homes. On a purchase over $1.3 million, that's exactly why independent representation matters — someone on your side of the table reviewing the contract, the design process, and the closing details with only your interests in mind.

The Tartan Team brings written analysis and construction-trained judgment to every new construction purchase. Dave is a master electrician and carpenter, which changes what a walkthrough catches on a home at this level.
