This one makes your job easier.
Access is not the holdup. The roads are public, dedicated to Lakes Highway District, and plowed every storm, so getting a crew and materials in during a February job is not a private-road negotiation. The plat is stamped by a professional engineer at Olson Engineering, and setbacks are stated on the drawing: Kootenai County rural zone throughout, plus two special setbacks the plat calls out by note. Design Review Board written into the covenants, real but written to be a partner rather than an obstacle for builders who show up ready.
The other thing that helps: fiber service is available at every one of the fifty-eight homesites on day one, under a dedicated broadband agreement Joe negotiated for the neighborhood specifically. Buyers do not need you to coordinate a six-week install with a phone company after framing, and you do not need to price around a satellite dish as the placeholder. The service is there when the certificate of occupancy is signed.
Power in the same corridor is three-phase, at every lot, and natural gas from Avista runs beside it, so the homes you price can spec gas heat and range without a propane contract. That changes what an on-site workshop can carry during the build, and what the buyer’s future shop can carry after handover. A serious welder, a compressor that does not dim the lights, three-phase machine tools if that is the kind of finished shop you are pricing. It is not a rural upgrade the utility might get to eventually, it is service specced into the plat at the front end.
Phase 1 real today is the fifty-eight legacy homesites of six acres, give or take, the public paved roads, and the PE-stamped plat. The connectivity arrangement is documented on the fiber section on our amenities page, so you can scope a build to a specific timeline knowing what a buyer’s day-one service actually looks like.
If you are pricing work on one of these lots, this is the easy version of that pricing.
And if you are not here to build one home but to take down a block of them, that conversation has its own page: Clagstone for builders.
All of that sits on actual ground. See the fifty-eight on the plat →
