"This area is nothing short of magnificent," Kevin Tomlinson, member of locally based project developer BTW LLC, said in a statement. "Our vision for this property is to create a community that reflects and enhances the natural splendor of our surroundings while providing the ideal place to enjoy it all." While somewhat isolated, Grangeville is known as a busy town for its size as well as its proximity to outdoor recreation sites. It's 71 miles from Lewiston, and just a few hours from Spokane, Boise and Missoula. Stable in population for 25 years, Grangeville is getting a boost from Bennett Lumber's decision to buy and upgrade the local mill, and from property sales outside of town. New lodging, food and retail businesses have opened in recent years. "We've had interest from a wide range of prospective buyers,
from longtime area residents to relocators and vacation-home buyers," Tomlinson
said. Crimson Ridge constitutes an opportunity to "enjoy all of
the benefits a home in central Idaho offers, without the sky-high price
tags that have come to typify real estate in the nearby resort areas
of McCall and Tamarack Resort." Near U.S. 95 and adjacent to Grangeville Golf & Country Club, Crimson Ridge features lots from 3 to 5 acres selling for $65,000 to $89,000 depending on size and location. The first phase includes 32 lots, with underground utilities, and 11 acres of common area. Two homes, worth about $250,000 and $400,000, are under way, but Crimson Ridge will feature various home sizes and price points, Tomlinson said in an interview.
He expects first-phase infrastructure and landscaping to be completed in mid-October. The developer has established an architectural review committee. Developers have given the country club ground to expand one hole, * * * |
The entire site includes 60 to 70 lots, but developers may reduce
lot sizes in a subsequent phase.
