Better hope that building never suffers even a small earthquake or a power outage!!

Thats wild. The condos sell for 9-24 mill each.

I'm doing my new house the old fashioned way --- drive up the street --- turn around in the cul d sac... and back into the shed (4300 sq feet).... The only thing mechanical in there, should be me. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

With a 25 X 14' door -- and 16' high finished ceiling - it will take in my 34' 3 car stacker -- and the toterhome.... and leave me plenty of shop space! The cleaning system is a push broom... the tools rarely used but I'm learning.

I'm trying to catch up on current events....so Greg, you are moving from the Pacific NW to Sun Valley and making that your permanent home?

What a beautiful piece of terra firma!! How big is that parcel of land?

Scott --- the lot is #8 in "White Clouds" development in Sun Valley... it's 1.6 acres. The development (if that's what you'd call it) is alongside the White Clouds golf course here in Sun Valley. Most folks don't know that The Sun Valley Corporation owns or runs just about everything here... They did this "plat" in 2008 and it was a complete flop of course - given the housing crash. We'll be the second home started out of 30 lots. We hope it stays empty. LOL

Yes -- we're moving here. We have a small condo now - and are here for a few months at a time now. We'll move permanently when our house in Bellevue sells - but we won't put that for sale until this spring. We want to be here for construction and that is scheduled to take 18 months or so. They'll break ground as early as the snow will let them. The sight is 6272' feet in elevation... so snow is a possibility! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA


The house build has been dubbed -- The Garagemahal....since the requirement for parking the semi inside was part of the "if I can't do that I'm not buying here" deal. This is all custom building/builders/design etc... so as long as the land owners (The Sun Valley Corp) would agree that was okay -- we were good to go. The truck needs to be inside due to the cold weather - the amount of snow - and I like to keep it clean and warm... and of course... NOBODY can live without a shop space of some kind.

Just because...



Here's some of the very preliminary layouts of the house -- and the house on the lot. There's been a ton of changes since these were drawn up...

Wholly crap!!! That looks amazing. I like the plans, looks like it will be a dream home for sure. You have to love the H.O.A. rules. But if you want to keep the neighbors down to a minimum, just buy the lots next to you.... LOL
