Overview

If you are considering a new construction home in Avimor, this property is a great example of what buyers are chasing: single-level living, thoughtful upgrades, and a rare, deep backyard that actually backs to the foothills. The home blends functional design with warm finishes and sits in a master-planned community that reserves more than 70% of its 23,000 acres as green space.

Quick snapshot of the house:

  • Price:$1,549,999
  • Size: roughly 2,808 sq ft (single level)
  • Bedrooms / Baths: 3 bed, 3 bath
  • Garage: 3-car garage
  • Warranty: 3-year builder warranty
  • HOA:$420 per quarter for this part of Avimor

Why choose a new construction home in Avimor

The decision to buy a new construction home in Avimor often comes down to lifestyle priorities. Avimor is built around the foothills and designed to keep the view and the outdoors front and center. Developers reserved most of the land for natural space, trails, and amenities, so you get a neighborhood that feels like a permanent escape from sprawl without sacrificing access to services and highways.

A few practical reasons to pick new construction here:

  • Modern systems and materials — energy-efficient HVAC, insulated mechanical closets, and centralized systems that reduce maintenance headaches.
  • Thoughtful features as standard — big drawers, dual ovens, no-step showers, and warm countertop surfaces that matter during cold months.
  • Community planning — trails, pools, event center, a planned boutique hotel, and a lifestyle coordinator who organizes clubs and programs so you find your people.

Exterior and lot: what makes the yard special

Many homes with foothills views skimp on usable yard space. This property bucks the trend with a deep, wide backyard that lets you enjoy the view without sacrificing outdoor living. That matters for families who want room for play, pets, gardening, or just a private place to sit and watch mule deer graze.

The way Avimor is laid out—with over 70% green space—is purposeful. Trails, fishing ponds, and habitat corridors are integrated into the plan, so your backyard feels connected to the broader landscape rather than boxed in by neighbors.

Living spaces: fireplace, entry, and layout flow

The house balances openness and cozy separation. An expansive living room features a floor-to-ceiling fireplace and wood beams that anchor the space. The entry feels special, with decorative lighting and a direct line to both the living areas and a small front-office that people are calling an "Amazon Grabbit" interception station.

Why that little office matters: if you live in the foothills and parking or porch-drop visibility is an issue, having an interception space close to the driveway is a surprisingly useful feature. One short hallway and you can check deliveries without running to the front door.

Details that matter in living spaces

  • Fireplace warms more than the hearth — heat is designed to distribute so you feel it in multiple spots of the room.
  • Screen needs are real — avoid accordion doors when you need insect screens; sliding doors with screens are far more practical here because of the local "fly season."
  • Dining flexibility — large dining area supports full-size tables, not the tiny drop-in furniture you see in many open plan homes.

Kitchen and utility spaces: real-life upgrades you’ll use

This kitchen makes a point of including durable and functional finishes that actually make day-to-day life better. Warm countertops (literal warmth on cold mornings), abundant deep drawers for pots and pans, floating stone shelves with underlighting, and Thermador appliances including a dual oven setup—these are the choices that separate showpiece kitchens from truly usable kitchens.

Big drawers are a small detail that translates to big convenience. The island includes storage on both sides, and there's a pocket door for the pantry area, which some buyers call a "Costco closet"—room for bulk-buy storage.

Must-have kitchen features

  • Warm countertops for comfort in cold seasons
  • Dual ovens for entertaining or baking at scale
  • Large drawers designed for real cookware
  • Good lighting including toe-kick and under-shelf illumination

Primary suite and spa-like bathroom

The primary suite is intentionally a retreat: high ceilings, three large windows framing foothill views, and a bathroom that blends beauty with function. The bathtub is deep and accessible, and the shower is no-step—important for aging-in-place or simply the ease of daily life.

The closet is generous, organized, and has a small seating nook—perfect for dressing and shoe storage. Two separate vanities give space and independence for couples, which is a subtle but appreciated layout choice.

Practical features: garage, HVAC, and systems

Practicality shows up everywhere: a three-car garage with natural light and extra storage alcoves, an insulated mechanical closet for more efficient systems, and convenient outlets where you need them—like the deep-freezer spot with plugged-in capability.

A central vacuum system and thoughtful HVAC placement make maintenance easier and run costs lower. Those infrastructure choices are often invisible when touring, but they reduce friction over years of ownership.

Community amenities and lifestyle in Avimor

Avimor is more than a collection of houses. It is a 23,000-acre master plan with over 70% green space, trails, ponds, and recreational offerings. Expect:

  • 35+ acres of trails for hiking, biking, ATV use, and horseback riding
  • Stocked fishing ponds and hunting license opportunities within the community
  • Indoor and outdoor pools plus an event center and a 12,000 sq ft community center
  • A lifestyle coordinator to create clubs, classes, and social events
  • A classical charter school that offers a private-school-style experience without tuition

Avimor also has a strong emphasis on wildfire resilience and has earned recognition as a Firewise community. That means building materials, landscaping, and planning are all designed to reduce risk and help protect homes in a foothill environment.

Costs, HOA, CID tax, and property taxes in Avimor

When evaluating any new home, the headline price is only one part of the cost. For new construction homes in Avimor, here are the numbers to keep in mind:

  • Asking price for this home:$1,549,999
  • HOA dues in this area: $420 per quarter
  • CID tax: Present, but small compared to overall property tax impact and used to fund early infrastructure
  • Estimated annual property taxes (with homestead exemption):$9,833
  • Estimated annual property taxes (without homestead):$10,695

The homestead exemption removes $125,000 from assessed value for a primary residence—be sure to file the form, as it is not automatic. Consider the CID tax as an investment in early infrastructure that pays dividends in roads, utilities, and community amenities.

How to secure an in-demand new construction home in Avimor

Homes like this one are in high demand and often sell before they officially hit the market. To improve your chances:

  1. Get on lists early — many agents keep a "phantom list" of buyers with specific needs (RV bays, single-level living, big lots, views). When a matching opportunity arises, they call first.
  2. Have financing and inspections lined up — even new construction benefits from a professional home inspection. Small issues appear and it is easier to catch and address them while the builder is engaged.
  3. Understand community costs — CID tax, HOA dues, and property tax estimates help you budget accurately and avoid surprises.
  4. Prioritize immutable features — views, lot placement, orientation, and solar exposure are difficult or impossible to change. Decide which of those you can’t live without.

If your priority is a new construction home in Avimor with a rare combination of a large lot, single-level living, and foothills views—act with speed and a clear list of nonnegotiables.

FAQs: new construction home in Avimor

What makes Avimor different from other Boise-area communities?

The scale and intent: Avimor is a 23,000-acre master plan with over 70% green space, integrated trails, ponds, a community center, and amenities designed to preserve the foothills character. The developers prioritized Firewise design and public infrastructure early, which enhances safety and livability compared to other rapidly built subdivisions.

Are HOA dues expensive in Avimor?

For this section of Avimor, HOA dues are about $420 per quarter. For the value of amenities—lifestyle coordination, pools, trails, and maintenance of shared areas—that is lower than many expect for a high-amenity master plan community.

What is the CID tax and how will it affect me?

The CID tax helps fund early infrastructure and long-term improvements throughout the master plan. It is included in the property tax calculation and represents a relatively small portion of overall taxes while enabling important community services and road development.

How far is Avimor from essential services and the airport?

Avimor sits in the foothills but is not isolated. It is about a 10-minute drive to the nearby Eagle corridor for groceries, urgent care, and shopping. The airport is roughly a 30–35 minute drive depending on traffic. Roads and expansions are ongoing to improve connectivity.

Do new construction homes here include warranties and do I still need an inspection?

This builder offers a 3-year warranty on the home. Even with a warranty, a third-party home inspection is highly recommended. Inspectors often find minor items and occasionally larger issues that are easier to address before final closing or while the builder is actively involved.

What practical features should I look for when touring a new construction home in Avimor?

Look for heated countertops, large drawers, dual ovens, no-step showers, insulated mechanical closets, and screened slider options for doors. These features directly affect comfort and daily convenience in foothill living.

Final Notes

A new construction home in Avimor gives you a rare blend of modern systems, considered design, and an environment that feels outdoorsy while remaining connected to necessary services. Whether you prioritize the huge lot, single-level ease, or the community amenities and safety measures, Avimor is built to be a long-term, low-friction place to live.

If the combination of a deep backyard, foothill views, and intentional community planning matters, plan accordingly: define your must-haves, get on agents’ lists, and make sure financing and inspections are ready. Properties like this move quickly.
