The Gardens at Encanto – Wilde Series: New Homes in Southwest Bakersfield

If you’re looking for new construction homes in Southwest Bakersfield, The Gardens at Encanto – Wilde Series is a community you’ll want to know about—especially if you’re hoping to take advantage of builder incentives and keep your own agent representation.

This neighborhood is located near Buena Vista Road and Harris Road, just south of Belcourt in the Seven Oaks area. It offers thoughtfully designed two-story homes, a low-maintenance lifestyle, and strong incentives on select homes that can close quickly.

Built by Lennar, this community is attracting buyers who want a newer home without waiting months for construction.

Current Pricing & Buyer Incentives

Homes in the Wilde Series are currently priced approximately from the high $300,000s to the low $400,000s, depending on the floor plan and availability.

On select homes that are move-in ready and can close in about 30 days, I can negotiate up to $30,000 toward buyer closing costs. These incentives can be used to:

• Reduce out-of-pocket costs at closing
  
  
• Buy down the interest rate
  
  
• Improve overall affordability
  
  

This is one of the biggest advantages of buying new construction right now—when it’s negotiated correctly.

The community has an HOA of about $115 per month, which covers:

• Front yard lawn care
  
  
• Maintenance of common areas
  
  
• A future community park and green space
  
  

For many buyers, this HOA makes homeownership easier and helps maintain long-term neighborhood value.

Floor Plans Available in the Wilde Series

The Gardens at Encanto – Wilde Series offers three primary two-story floor plans, each designed with modern living in mind.

Bronte Plan

The Bronte plan is a well-balanced two-story home that offers separation between living and sleeping areas.

This plan is ideal for buyers who want:

• An open main living area
  
  
• Bedrooms located upstairs for privacy
  
  
• A layout that works well for families, guests, or home offices
  
  

It’s a great option for buyers who want comfort, functionality, and a manageable footprint.

Kipling Plan

The Kipling plan is one of the most popular choices due to its efficient layout and everyday livability.

This plan is a good fit if you’re looking for:

• Open-concept living on the main floor
  
  
• Practical room sizes with minimal wasted space
  
  
• A modern design that feels larger than expected
  
  

First-time buyers and move-up buyers often gravitate toward this plan.

Hemingway Plan

The Hemingway plan offers a bit more flexibility and space while still maintaining a clean, modern layout.

This plan works well for buyers who want:

• Larger living areas
  
  
• Flexibility for multiple bedrooms, offices, or guest space
  
  
• A two-story design that feels open and comfortable
  
  

It’s a strong option for growing households or buyers who want extra room without moving into a much higher price point.

Location Highlights

This community sits in a highly convenient area of Southwest Bakersfield, close to shopping, dining, and everyday essentials, including:

• Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
  
  
• Harris Ranch Meats

School Zoning

Homes in this community are zoned for:

• Independence High School
  
  

School boundaries should always be verified, but this zoning is a big reason buyers are focusing on this area.

Important: Protect Your Right to Have Your Own Agent

When buying new construction, how you visit the community matters.

If a buyer walks into the model homes without their agent or without being properly registered, the builder may:

• Refuse to allow buyer representation
  
  
• Limit or remove negotiated incentives
  
  
• Require the buyer to work directly with the builder
  
  

That’s why I always recommend texting me before visiting the models.

Why Texting Me First Helps You

When you text me first, I can:

• Register you properly so you keep your own agent
  
  
• Negotiate incentives like up to $30,000 toward closing costs
  
  
• Confirm which homes can close quickly
  
  
• Coordinate showings without risking your representation
  
  
• Walk you through pricing, HOA details, and timelines
  
  

There is no cost to you to have your own agent, and having representation often saves buyers money.
