About the Developer

Enfinger Steele Development is Huntsville's most prominent developer of award-winning communities. Jeff Enfinger, the company's founder, has more than twenty-five years of experience in residential development and is the company's visionary and planner. "He has a talent for visualizing a community on a tract of land," says Steele. "My role is to help bring that vision to fruition." Steele has served as president of the company since 1998. She brings a background in business management, marketing, and construction. "Our first priority was to build a strong team of driven professionals, and today we have what we consider to be one of the top management teams in the business," says Steele.

ESD's newest community, McMullen Cove, reflects the synthesis of the partner's talents. In developing the 2,400 acres, which includes mountain and river lands, ESD will carry on the legacy of the families that owned the land. "There's an emotional attachment, and the families want to know that the land will be developed into a community they can be proud of," says Steele, "Our mission is to offer truly pristine mountain homesites while preserving the integrity of nature."

McMullen Cove is a magnificent canvas of mountain views, rolling hills and meadows along the Flint River. "Our master plan is truly exceptional," says Steele. Located within minutes of downtown Huntsville, this community offers more than 8 miles of walking trails and 1,200 acres of private park lands preserved for the enjoyment of generations to come.

McMullen Cove is a covenant community. Through the establishment of architectural guidelines, the property owners of McMullen Cove will enjoy the assurance of maximized long-term preservation and growth of values and the certainty of the highest quality of lifestyle. "Our homeowners are the heart and soul of our communities," says Steele. "We are building, in essence, small towns that anyone would want to call home, with the mechanisms in place to let them be self governing."

 

Enfinger Steele Development-stewards of the environment. An integral part of the development of an ESD community is the preservation of land for parks, nature trails, and lakes. "Our goal is to allow the land to create the design," says Enfinger, "and to have the discipline to complete the process by balancing land use with preservation." Over the past eight years, ESD has preserved thousands of acres of land for land trusts and abundant green spaces within their communities. Another example of their commitment to the environment is the celebration of Arbor Day. Each year they donate a tree to every homeowner in each of their communities.
