Lost
Creek Estates is a 64 parcel, high end subdivision on 262 acres in the
Hidden Valley basin between Rathdrum Mountain and Hauser Lake.
The
average parcel size is 1.15 acres. The project is sited on a rim overlooking
the Rathdrum Prairie with breathtaking southern views of mountains and
the Rathdrum Prairie. Some parcels look up the Hidden Valley basin toward
Rathdrum Mountain.
The
entire project is wooded (primarily with mature Douglas Fir trees). The
signature feature of the project is Lost Creek itself. This stream runs
year round and carves its way through the middle of the project. In some
areas, the stream is bounded by steep ravines, affording beautiful vistas
from above, and in other locations it meanders and pools up with beautiful
waterfall type features. As Lost Creek flows off the southern boundary
of the development, it turns into a beautiful wetland area and disappears
into the Rathdrum Aquifer (thus the background of the name Lost Creek).
Another
signature feature is the trail system that covers over 3 1⁄2 miles.
Residents can walk or bike throughout the 162 acres of open space. A beautiful
portion of the trail system is the crossing of Lost Creek with an architecturally
designed foot/cycling bridge which will have landscape features and mood
setting lighting.
The
project is being developed in three phases.
Phase
1 has been approved and includes 16 parcels. It is defined by a landscaped
entrance off Winch Road that includes a waterfall and water feature that
flows from one side of the entrance to the other, under the entrance bridge.
There is also an architecturally designed covered bus stop on the west
side of the entrance. Each phase will be defined by an individually landscaped
entrance.
Phase
2 will be complete in 2007 and marketed at that time.
Of
note is that there are already three locally renowned builders planning
to construct spec homes on site to showcase their work. They are: Aspen
Homes, Shelter Homes and M-B Builders. They each have additional parcels
to build from. Click here for pricing and
