 Some Current Subdivision Projects Under Way

Hillcrest Residential Subdivision 

 Along Continental Drive just east of Butte we developed a 10 lot subdivision for Nistler Homes and Leipheimer Investments. The 2.3 acre parcel that was subdivided had been a long time vacant parcel that was part of the existing Hillcrest Addition.

The project began with our submittal of a pre application plan to the City Planners on January 2, 2007.

Prior to the filing of the final plat the developers installed new curb and gutter, water, sewer, power, gas, and paved streets. Upon completion of these improvements we filed our final plat in December of 2007.

 In February of 2008 Matt Nistler began the first of ten homes. These homes were all built and sold by the above mentioned developer. In July of 2008 we began the basement of the last home to be constructed. Our original 2.3 acre parcel is shown on the upper left and the completed project is displayed on the lower left.

The intention of the developers was to provide Butte home buyers with new mid priced housing. The two style homes that were constructed were either 1300 sq ft or 1600 sq ft and they all offered a full unfinished basement. Ease home had 3 bedrooms and two baths on the main floor. Prices ranged from $179,000 to $205,000.
