Most of them are the trees you'll be taking down when you are building your new home! The parcel originally had a septic permit for a three-bedroom home (now expired) from the Health Department. The gentle slope will be easy to build on, and offers excellent drainage. The minimum building size for a home in Hearthstone Ridge is 1,200 sq. ft. of heated indoor living space, not including basements, porches or garages. There are no maximum size restrictions.

Just over an acre and a half, this lot sits on Whitestone Circle, in the gated community of Hearthstone Ridge. Potential mountain views would be best from a second story or loft. This property is lightly wooded, mostly near-level with some gently sloping land - easy to build on, no matter what your design entails. If a walk-out basement foundation is in your plans, this parcel will work just fine, and if a one-level home is more to your liking, that's going to work, too! While it's true a second level will enjoy a mountain view, it's this gorgeous location you'll want to consider. A somewhat rural location with clean air, clean water and a sky full of stars, yet close to town for necessities and conveniences. Hearthstone Ridge has light restrictions (1,200 sf min, no mobile homes, no time frame to build) and dues of only $435/year to maintain the paved roads.
