Build A Lot - The Garden Valley Way
August 22nd, 2008 Categories: "Build A Lot", Garden Valley Buyers, Garden Valley Real Estate
“Build A Lot” Breaks Land Speed Record
Building in Garden Valley is not exactly the same as building in Treasure Valley. The logistics are completely different and time tables tend to run into a variety of delays. Apparently that will no longer be the norm with the “Build a Lot” program. CW is well under way with the framing of the first “Built A Lot” home, as you can clearly see from the pictures. It’s very exciting to see this home come together.
CW also broke ground on Wednesday for the second home in the “Build A Lot” program. The homeowners couldn’t be more excited.
How about financing options?
Here is just one option that is available. Washington Federal Savings offers an All-In-One Custom Construction Loan. Some features include:
- One time underwriting of construction and permanent financing
- No second loan or dual financing fees
- Interest only payments on the funds dispersed during construction
- 80% loan to value based on construction and land costs. Lot equity can be applied to down payment or closing costs
- Simple conversion to a permanent loan after construction with no interest rate change
- Interest rate is fixed before you break ground.
I have lots available in Garden Valley that are perfectly suited for this program. It’s impossible to find a newer home, with this construction quality, in Garden Valley for under $200,000.
Contact me to find out how you can be part of this great program.

Build A Lot! What Is It?
August 13th, 2008 Categories: "Build A Lot", Garden Valley Business Scene, Garden Valley Buyers, Garden Valley Real Estate
Just Build It!
You are the kind of person who knows what they want. You can see the image perfectly in your mind’s eye. The room sizes, floor plan, lighting, even the landscaping.
Your real estate expert is a good listener. She has tuned into your vision. The list of homes she introduces you to are close. But…. You are not crazy about committing to close.
What about building in Garden Valley? Why not!?!
Let me introduce you to a new program that is designed to help you create your personal vision. Welcome to the “Build a Lot” program. There is a lot (no pun intended) of land inventory available in Garden Valley. Lot amenities and pricing covers a broad range of options. However, lot lenders are not as buyer friendly as they have been in the past. As with most loans, requirements have gotten tighter, downpayments are higher and interest rates are up.
With building material costs increasing and gas prices high, how can building in Garden Valley be affordable.
I’ll tell you how!
We have been working, for the past year to find solutions to these obstacles. We now have a builder we can recommend who can offer aggressive pricing for a quality built home. The construction meets the specifications for the Garden Valley environment, including insulation levels, 2X6 construction and, snow load considerations. CW Construction has been in business in Treasure Valley for over 20 years. They have a crew of subcontractors who consistently partner with them. They are geared up to be efficient, consistent, experienced builders. CW is offering us some aggressive pricing in this market. Depending on the floor plan you choose and your lot selection, you can build a home or cabin, in Garden Valley, for $200,000.
Starting today, I will be posting construction photos of the homes being built, in Garden Valley, by CW Construction. You can observe the construction as it progresses. Watch as this Garden Valley vision comes together.
Keep an eye on this blog to learn more about available financing solutions.

Let me help make your vision a reality!

My Motto “You Just Can’t Have Enough Dirt”
Usually on Friday I focus on one particular property that interest me. Today I’m stumped. I just love to have my own piece of ground….. To putter in the garden, move a couple rocks, prune a tree, feed the birds, be one with the land.
For those of you who know I’m a work-a-holic try not to hurt yourself laughing.
But one thing that can’t be denied is that I love to buy dirt. Ever since I purchased my first piece of land, I have been addicted.
If you are interested in joining this exciting, entertaining, educational and often heartwarming club you have come to the right place for coaching.
I know the Garden Valley dirt best of all. You could start with a nicely shaded lot in a good neighborhood with the sound of a stream running by. This lot, at $74,000 would be the perfect place to build that cabin or small home. At this price you could get into a home for $200,000.
If you are more the investor type, how about a heck of a buy on a 2 acre parcel in the city limits for $140,000. I predict this piece will be in the city center in the not too distant future. I see dollar signs whenever I think about it.
For the true naturalists who are looking for space where they can count the clouds, enjoy the views of distant mountains, and build the home of their dreams there are exceptional parcels starting in the $140,000’s.
However you pile it on, the land market has softened. If you’re like me, and dirt is a joy to behold, then give me a call. The choices are better than ever and the prices have softened to reflect the market conditions.
Lets get together and make mud pie.

BE A PART OF THE GARDEN VALLEY FUTURE
Big changes are coming in Garden Valley and the City of Crouch. A new school is under construction. A new library is on the way. A title company is coming to town. New businesses are cropping up, like bookstores, gyms, and spas, plant nurseries and organic food suppliers. New service providers are making themselves known in the area.
The City of Crouch is faced with a looming growth spurt. The largest obstacle to this opportunity is the lack of a municipal waste treatment facility. Now Crouch has a chance to overcome this obstacle. In any case, DEQ and Central District Health, chartered to protect ground water and river quality, are encouraging Crouch to move into the future.
What does this have to do with Friday Favorites?
One of the last remaining, 2 acre, undeveloped and unrestricted parcels within the Crouch City limits, is now available for sale. The two acres is level, has great views and 
fronts the Middlefork Road. It doesn’t take much imagination to see the possibilities that this property has to offer.
The future of Garden Valley and the City of Crouch is undeniably bright. Hook on to a star.
Buy your own little piece of Idaho’s future for $140,000.

Soar Like An Eagle
The views from this lot always make me feel like I’m flying.
Overlooking both the South Fork and the Middle Fork drainages, this property really gives you a birds eye view of the valley. Ah! But you ask “How steep is it?” That’s the beauty of this property. You won’t need wings to get to it.
It is located in Mountain Shadows. The Mountain Shadows neighborhood offers paved roads, underground power and phone to each lot. The density is low with average parcel sizes of 2 acres. For the perfect place to roost, build your nest on the level building site and watch the clouds go by.

Lower Utility Bills with Geothermal Heat
As usual I like to wrap up the week with one of your favorite listings. This home, in Garden Valley, offers a unique combination of stylish craftsman construction, natural hot water, over 3 acres of horse pasture, some of the best Garden Valley views, and a private location.
Many folks are unaware that there are several pockets of private land, in Garden Valley, were natural hot water can be found. This property has it’s own hot water well. The well water is used to heat the home, fill the whimsical, cattle trough hot tub, and irrigate the pasture. Watch your heating bills dive when you can enjoy the many advantages of geothermal heat. By now you probably have your thermostat turned off and are tip toeing around on cold floors every morning. Natural hot water heat is so inexpensive and versatile it’s a perfect heat source to warm those floors.
If you missed visiting this home during the May, Garden Valley, Parade of Homes, it’s not too late to arrange a showing.

“Log Cabin in the Woods”
Have you ever marveled at Thomas Kinkade’s interpretation of the log cabin in the woods? Tucked away, by itself, in the timber, chinked logs, a cozy covered porch, breathtaking views, a little pond outside the front door, the warm light from the fireplace glow visible through the paned windows?
The magic does exist. It has come to life in the form of a very special property in Garden Valley, Idaho.
Visit this home at the Garden Valley Parade of Homes on May 31st. Parade hours are from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm. Collect Parade route maps at the Garden Valley Properties office.
