Mineral Springs is going to be a subdivision that will capitalize on the needs of Kuna’s growing community.

Kuna is composed mostly of subdivisions that are very similar. We need diversity. Maybe it is the natural progression, to attract the first time homeowners with entry level homes. But we have too many subs with the same size lots, houses that look the same, and with the same amenities.

Mineral Springs is a upscale subdivision with over 5 acres of common area and home prices ranging from $300,000–$500,000. A great place to upgrade into a larger, more satisfying shelter but still be in town and close to local conveniences. Mineral springs 010

Mineral Springs is located on Deer Flat between Linder and Ten Mile, walking distance to all the schools in this area, plus easy access to Meridian Road and to the Ten Mile interchange that is planned to happen in 2009.

According to the agent selling these lots, they are the largest in any subdivision in Meridian or Kuna, ranging from 8100 sq ft to 14000 sq ft (I think he means this in a general sense, because these are just larger than a standard lot, and there are subdivisions in Kuna that have 1 acre lots.) Priced from $84,000–$130,000. There are 50 available lots in phase II, with a total of 140 homes that will finish this subdivision. Mineral springs 012

One interesting amenity is a water feature for the children, therefore avoiding the high cost of a swimming pool and higher Homeowners Association Fees to maintain and insure a pool. The other community amenities include a tot park, bike and hike paths. HOA fees will start out at $150/year.

There are 4 homes for sale at this time, for an average list price of $323,600 or $123/sq ft. In 2007, Mineral Springs has recorded 6 homes sold in the MLS for an average price of $304,745 or $126/sq ft. This is a good share of the market for a custom built home in this price range. Only Crimson Point has sold more in this price range and the homes are not comparable. Mineral springs 013

The developer is still making final plans on the builder team. The homes are custom built homes with wonderful exterior appeal and well thought out floor plans and many upgraded features.

Unfortunately, there is not a great website featuring the community plans or to see details of what is available, but they do have open houses regularly and a great handout on this premier community by P&F Development.
