The Land

Six acres, give or take.
One quiet piece of country.

A hundred-year neighborhood, one homesite at a time. That is the register for this place, so it is the register we start with, and the standard every decision on the plat gets measured against.

Three hundred and fifty-seven acres of homesites between the Rathdrum Prairie and the Cabinet foothills, laid out into fifty-eight parcels with twenty acres of shared open space woven through the middle. The plat is PE-stamped by Olson Engineering. The roads are public and paved. Everything you'll read on this page is on file.

The file says what it is. Walk it once and the land says why. The larch turns in October. Elk drift the low fields at dusk. The Bunco trail system is about fourteen miles up the road. And when the storm comes through in January, somebody else's plow beats you to the pavement.

The interactive plat

Tap any homesite for its acreage, how much it drops, and where those figures come from. Tap the common ground for what it is reserved for. It opens on the aerial with the shaded relief and the road names already on, the utilities are one switch away, and you can step out five miles to Athol or further to what is around. The expand control opens it full screen.

Gentle ground, and the county's own laser survey of it bears that out. The entire plat lies within twenty-nine vertical feet, from 2,485 to 2,514. The median homesite drops about ten feet from its high corner to its low one, and the steepest of the fifty-eight drops nineteen.

Every elevation figure here, and the shaded relief drawn over the map, come from Kootenai County's 2019 LiDAR. That is bare ground rather than treetops, about twenty thousand readings inside each homesite. The shading stretches the vertical fourteen times, because at true scale a twenty-nine foot fall shades to a flat grey; it shows you where the ground slopes and states no height. Good enough to tell you how a homesite lies. Not a substitute for a foundation survey.

Acres shared open space

Homesites run six acres, give or take. Most come in over six; five come in a hair under on the approved plans, and the two shortest, 32 and 33, are priced accordingly. Every parcel is sited to hold a home without crowding a neighbor, and six rather than five was a choice. Every figure, homesite by homesite, is on the interactive plat.

The construction plans are engineered by Olson Engineering and approved by Lakes Highway District, no exceptions taken, February 2026. Twenty acres of shared open space stitch the neighborhood together and hold the ridge lines open. The developer lives nearby. You take responsibility for a piece of country and you pass it on better than you found it.

Where it sits

In the quiet middle of the Golden Triangle.

Draw a line from Sandpoint down to Coeur d'Alene, then over through Spirit Lake and Pend Oreille and back up past Farragut, and Clagstone sits in the middle of what falls inside it. Close enough that a town errand doesn't take a day. Far enough that the loudest thing outside is weather.

Every figure comes from the location table on file. When you hear other numbers in the corridor, drive them yourself. Ours hold up.

The roads

Paved to your front door.
Plowed by somebody else.

The roads through Clagstone are public. Built to standard, dedicated, and plowed by Lakes Highway District every storm at no cost to you.

They have names now, on the approved plans: Bridlewood Avenue along the north, Mustang Street down the west, Wandering Moose Road through the middle, picking up the old private Wandering Moose Trail where the neighborhood meets it, and Paddock Avenue across the south. Three sixty-foot rights-of-way are already reserved at the edges, so the county grid can grow someday without touching your lot line.

Built to standard means something specific here. Each interior street is twenty-eight feet of pavement inside a sixty-foot right of way, crowned two percent to shed water, over four inches of base and a foot of ballast. The cul-de-sacs turn on a hundred-and-twenty-foot circle, which is the radius a fire truck needs. Out at the county road, the plans add a left turn lane into the neighborhood, two hundred ten feet of deceleration and eighty feet of storage between long tapers, so slowing down to turn home is not an event.

No road association. No maintenance agreement for your lender to ask about. No plow bill in January. Pavement from the tarmac at Spokane International all the way to your own driveway.

It is a quieter kind of security than a keypad at the entrance, and a more useful one at five in the morning in February.

The rest of the trench

The road is the part you can see.

Four more systems go in while the ground is open, and every one of them answers a question rural buyers are used to being told to solve themselves.

Water you do not have to drill for.

A community system, not a private well on every lot and a separate gamble on depth and quality with each one. Five thousand four hundred seventy-eight feet of six inch main, buried five feet down, five fire hydrants on the line, and a service stub waiting at your lot.

How the water works

Three phase, and none of it on poles.

Northern Lights brings three phase power underground in conduit along the roads, with a stub and a marker at every frontage. It runs a welder in the shop as easily as it runs the house, and there is no line of poles across the view to pay for it.

How the power works

Gas heat, not a propane calendar.

Natural gas comes from Avista in the same corridor as the power, so the furnace, the range and a tankless water heater run off a meter at the frontage instead of a tank in the yard and a delivery you have to remember. Avista has issued no drawing to us yet, so the line on the plat map is drawn along the road right-of-way and labelled as the estimate it is.

What else is in that corridor

Fiber from the first day you live here.

Multi-gigabit service at every homesite under a broadband agreement negotiated for the neighborhood, with no captive carrier written into the covenants. The plant belongs to the carrier rather than to Olson's set, so what we can show you is the agreement rather than a trench detail.

How the fiber works

Where the house can sit.

Setbacks follow Kootenai County code for the rural zone, stated on the plat itself rather than left to the covenants or to argument. On six acres that leaves a great deal of room, and it is the ordinary arrangement for a plat like this one.

Two exceptions are written into the plat by note, and they are not small. One requires 375 feet from the north property line for all primary and accessory buildings on a run of homesites along the north edge. The other requires 470 feet from the east property line on three homesites at the east. The note identifies those homesites by a lot-and-block numbering that does not match the numbering on the drawing's own lot labels, so we are not going to tell you which ones they are until Olson confirms it. If you are looking at a homesite along the north or east boundary, ask us and we will get you the answer in writing.

Know the zone before you need it.

This is North Idaho, and fire is part of the country. Kootenai County splits the county into numbered evacuation zones, and when the Sheriff issues an order it goes out by number rather than by subdivision or street. All fifty-eight homesites sit wholly inside EZ-6, checked against the county's own zone geometry on August 18, 2026.

We are not going to print a current status here. That number moves during a fire, and a page telling you your zone is clear while the Sheriff is telling you to go is worse than a page that says nothing. Check it at the source: Know Your Zone, or the county's live zone map. In an emergency, call 911 and do not wait for a notification.

The public land, honestly

Up Bunco Road, the country opens up.

You will hear people say a place like this has National Forest at the back fence. It rarely does, and this one does not. What it has is about fourteen miles up the road: the Bunco trail system, which reaches into the Idaho Panhandle National Forests and the ridges around Bernard Peak and the powerline network beyond.

The road in passes Stimson timberland before it reaches Forest Service ground. The trailhead itself sits on the Idaho Panhandle National Forests, and Kootenai County grooms sixty miles of winter routes out of that lot. Naming who owns what is the honest thing.

Then there's the ground that shares our name. Clagstone Meadows, the thirteen-thousand-acre Stimson timber tract next door, was approved for two golf courses and twelve hundred homes back in 2010. Stimson chose otherwise. The state and the Trust for Public Land bought a permanent conservation easement, the land stays working timber forever, and since 2017 most of it has been open to the public to walk: non-motorized, through four signed gates with parking areas, the way local hunters and hikers use it every fall. Timber somebody protected instead of subdivided, and your grandkids can legally walk it.

What you get is sixty miles of groomed winter routes, elk country in the shoulders of the season, and public land big enough that you can go all day without seeing the same person twice. Not at your back fence. Close enough to walk out the door toward.

The shared ground

Common ground, kept country.

Twenty acres, give or take, of shared open space run through the middle of Clagstone, stitching the neighborhood together and holding sightlines open across the ridges. It is not a lawn to be manicured. It is country to be kept country.

The covenants are written for that outcome. Ridge lines stay open. A Design Review Board is written into the covenants and will take up the work the day it is seated. Until it is, the covenants stand on their own text, which is the way it should be.

None of this is a country club with a badge on the door. It is a neighborhood built to hold up under the weather and the calendar, and to still look like North Idaho when your grandchildren are the ones walking it.

Honest disclosure

The five that come in a hair under six.

Twenty of the twenty-five parcels now selling come in over six acres on the approved plans. Five do not, and honesty says we show you every one. Three of the five miss six acres by hundredths, 5.990 to 5.996, the kind of difference a fence line eats. Two, lots 32 and 33, come in shorter at 5.80 and 5.75, and they are priced accordingly. Same Design Review Board, same paved roads, same protected timber next door. Just less ground under the deed, and the exact figure on every card below.

A word from the developer

"My family has been working land like this for a hundred years. Timber, mostly. And people hear the word and think you're taking something from the land. But when you harvest a tree the right way, what you're really harvesting is sunlight. Years of it. You take it carefully, you leave the place better than you found it, and it grows back."

"That is the whole family trade. Borrow the sun. Leave the land better. So when we set out to build a neighborhood, we did not want to stop doing that. We wanted to do the same thing, just in a new century."

"You are not really buying a lot. You are inheriting a way of doing things."
