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.
For more information contact Garden Valley Properties 208-462-4620.

Crosstimber Trails of Garden Valley
Sounds like a western movie name doesn’t it. You’re not likely to run into Robert Duvall here,but he would fit into the setting perfectly. Crosstimber’s rolling hills, swaying natural grasses and wild flowers and expansive panoramas remind me of riding the range. In the movies, anyway. Just as on the trail, you’ll wander upon streams, ponds and foot paths. As you near the stream the landscape changes from wild grasses to willows and aspens. 
The wildlife likes it here, too. Don’t be surprised to flush a grouse, see elk and deer in the early hours or a red tail hawk overhead.
Sure, there is some Crosstimber land to be had, but not like this parcel. Visit this link to learn more.

You Could Live In This Happy River Front Neighborhood
Somehow the subject always comes up. Whenever I am visiting with a resident of the Garden Valley Scott Mountain area they always mention how much they love the neighborhood. Some folks have even sold their homes only to build a new place down the street. It’s true that the area is very well maintained. Scott Mountain Road runs along the Middle Fork of the Payette. There is plenty of water for irrigating. The area just looks like a park. However, there seems to be more to the comments than the beautiful environment. The folks in this neighborhood are just so happy to live there.
It’s not often that one of these homes comes on the market in Garden Valley. Now is your opportunity to enjoy the Scott Mountain neighborhood. There are so many special features in this home. Here are just a few:
- 1400 sq ft deck overlooking the Middle Fork of the Payette River
- Great Room concept - perfect for family, friends or entertainment
- River Rock Fireplace
- Impressive construction quality
- 3 Bedroom with 3.5 Bath on a single Level
- Studio Apartment, with separate entrance and river front deck
- 5 Car Garage
I’m at a loss to describe this home effectively. The pictures don’t even tell the whole story.
You should just come look for yourself. On May 31st Garden Valley Properties will be hosting the annual Parade of Homes. The Scott Mountain home will be one of the features properties. The Parade will be held from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm or you can contact me here to see the home at any other time.
