When you live in the Boise Foothills you tend to....

spend a lot more time outside walking, mountain biking or just enjoying the panoramic views. At Avimor, 35 square miles are yours to explore as you please. Within Village One alone, you'll discover nearly 10 miles of trails and improved paths that connect up to 100 miles of additional foothills trails and the popular Ridge to Rivers trail system.

Avimor amenities include a 12,000 sq.ft. Community Center with indoor swimming pool, large fitness center, multiple meeting rooms, lounge area, Libray Annex, staging kitchen, and outdoor patio areas. Parks are abundant in Avimor. The 5 acre Foothills Heritage Park includes an amphitheatre with tiered lawn for large outdoor concerts and events in addition to a tennis court, soccer field, baseball diamond, and basketball court. Six other parks, including two large playgrounds and a catch-and-release fishing pond, can be found througout Village One.

A sense of community is present in Avimor with the help of Avimor's Art of Living Director. The Director coordinates a wide range of community events, including the monthly Bird Walks, wine-tasting tours, weekly Avimor Recreation Group biking and hiking outings, Annual Coyote Classic Mountain Bike Race, and the Evenings at Avimor Concert Series. These and other events create that small-town feel so many of our residents desire.

Avimor's Past, Present and Future
View Master Plan. Download

Avimor sits on nearly 23,000 acres of beautiful foothills land surrounding Boise, Idaho. The land was part of a small but thriving stage stop by the name of Howell. The McLeod family purchased the property in 1916 and began to operate a sheep and cattle ranch known as the Spring Valley Ranch. In early 2000, the McLeod family decided to develop the Spring Valley Ranch and build a "place" that would sustain future generations for years to come. They considered many development alternatives, including dividing up the land, but they determined that a master plan development and a partnership with an experienced planned community developer would be the best way to ensure they met their vision for the long-term stewardship of the land. In 2002, they put their plan into action and partnered with SunCor, a large national developer, and now with Avimor Partners, LLC.

Avimor is currently entitled as an 840 acre master planned community. There are just over 22,000 additional acres included in the Trust for future expansion of the planned community. When complete, Avimor will be a series of Villages and Hamlets connected by pathways and trails to make transportation by foot or bike a viable option between Villages. Each Hamlet will offer some form of community gathering place, and many will offer mixed-use commercial sites and community services. Within minutes of every home, residents will find neighborhood shops and offices.

Village One is currently under production, and it includes 661 single-family homes ranging from small 1,000 sq.ft. starter homes to custom lots for large estate homes. It also includes a 12,000 sq.ft. Community Center, swimming pool, fitness center, 7 parks, commercial area with 175,000 sq.ft. of office and retail space, and miles of improved trails.

Over 60 percent of the community is preserved as open space, which means that when complete, Avimor will have over 25 square miles of open space surrounding the Villages and Hamlets. Approximately 100 miles of Avimor trails have already been made available to the Community and the public at large. And the trail system will improve and increase as Avimor expands and continues to work closely with civic leaders, conservation organizations, and trail recreation groups.

Avimor has committed to building an environmentally friendly project. Each home is built with the materials and quality needed to exceed the standard energy efficiency codes by at least 30%. Avimor was recognized as the 2008-2009 Northwest ENERGY STAR Idaho Builder of the Year. Furthermore, community landscaping incorporates native and drought tolerant plants that provide seasonal color and habitat for birds and other wildlife. Avimor's Conservation Director and the Avimor Stewardship Organization further ensure that firewise principles and conservation efforts are consistently and diligently applied.
