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.
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.
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.

The Garden Valley Recreation District has announced the date for the Weilmunster Park dedication. This is an important event in the history of Garden Valley. For years the Garden Valley Recreation District, headed by Jamie Anderson, has worked tirelessly to make the park a reality. They identified the property location and have applied for grants, solicited donations, managed fundraisers, and kept the community involved and informed.
I can’t think of a better location for the park. I especially like the idea that it includes some Middle Fork river frontage. No matter what happens to private and public land along the Middle Fork in the future, our kids will always have a place to play in the river. The addition of the walking path which ties the park to the school property is a huge plus. Although not fully developed yet, the plans for the park will offer ball fields, picnic areas and playgrounds.
The ceremony is planned for Friday, August 15th at 4:00 pm.
Current Board Members are:
President Jamie Anderson
Vice President Jeff Bass
Secretary Holly Mortimer
Treasurer Carol Smith
