855158_heavens_watch_3 This is the common theme I hear from people attempting to move into this area. All they want is a little piece of land to call their own.

A place to raise their children or animals, a piece of heaven on earth that gives them privacy, peace and freedom to fulfill their dreams.

So with the prices on residential housing coming down, what is the price of vacant land in Kuna Country doing?

The listing price for 1–3 acre parcels is about $80,000 per acre which is lower than 2006 when prices were hovering around $95,000 per acre.

The best deal right now is a parcel that came on the market recently on Kuna Road. This is the best of two worlds in my opinion. You have Kuna School district and Canyon county taxes.

The price is only $55,348 per acre and the lot size is 2.15 acres for a total of $119,000. Enough land to build and be away from the road and plenty left over to do as you please. Kuna road is a well traveled but not scheduled for any improvements. You do have direct roads that will take you north to the interstate and easy access to downtown Kuna for the Friday buffet at El Giro Gallo

DSCN0005 If you want to be in a quieter area and the school district is not a factor, another great deal is a 3 acre lot on Robinson Road. It is off the main road with no large farms or developments close by. You have fields on three sides of your property. The total price is $180,000 or $62,000 per acre.

None of these properties are in a subdivision, therefore no restrictions other than what the county requires. You can move a modular home on these properties so long as you have a foundation.

Lots for sale that are in subdivisions offer some niceties like covenants, communities water systems and pressurized irrigation. There are 75 choices in the Nampa area. In Kuna, only one subdivision (Arrowrock) offers 1 acre lots. All these subs will have Home Owners Associations and fees associated with them. Something to keep in mind.

The average price in a subdivision is $90,000–$100,000 per acre

Things to consider when figuring the final costs of any piece of vacant land are:

Availability of electricity, gas, water, and pressurized irrigation.
Are you located in a flood zone, close to future developments or road improvements?
Is there an existing building permit?
Some potentially expensive ticket items would be driveways, fencing, septic, wells and easements.

All things to count for that final cost of your piece of paradise.

There continues to be good deals in the Kuna area for residential and land. I would love to help you reach your dream,feel free to call anytime.
