5 Acres in Meridian | Gated Custom Home with Shop, RV Garage & Mountain Views | NO HOA

​

A rare opportunity to own 5.06 acres within Meridian city limits. This gated custom home blends space, privacy, and flexibility with RV infrastructure, a powered shop, smart-home technology, and the freedom of NO HOA—all designed for long-term living and multi-generational possibilities.  

​

There are homes that simply check the boxes… and then there are properties that quietly make you pause, take a breath, and imagine a different kind of life. 8150 S Locust Grove Road is that kind of place.  The moment you arrive, the space is what strikes you first. Five acres stretching beneath wide Idaho skies, framed by panoramic mountain and valley views that feel almost endless. It’s rare to find this type of property right in Meridian, especially along the Locust Grove corridor—one of the area’s sought-after locations. Here, the rhythm of open land meets the convenience of town, and it feels like the best of both worlds.

​

The home itself was thoughtfully custom built, offering 3,462 square feet designed for comfort, flexibility, and longevity. With four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two half baths, every space feels purposeful. The layout works beautifully for everyday living while also allowing room for guests, extended family, or creative uses as life evolves.

​

Inside, the home has a warm, welcoming feel. The living room’s tray ceiling adds character, while the high-end Canadian wood-burning insert becomes a natural gathering place on cooler evenings, capable of warming the entire space. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the home, offering durability without sacrificing style. A hidden door leads to expansive basement storage—a feature that feels both clever and practical, but also offers options, perhaps a 5th bedroom.

​

The kitchen centers around a raised leathered granite island, a natural gathering space where conversations tend to linger a little longer. A conduction range with pot filler, built-in oven and microwave, under-cabinet lighting, and a walk-in pantry make the space both functional and capable of entertaining many gatherings. Even the wall opposite the island is wired for a television, perfect for keeping an eye on cooking shows while preparing dinner!

​

Upstairs, a large bonus room opens the door to countless possibilities. With a half bath that could easily become a full bath, mini wet bar or future kitchenette, and access to a balcony, it could serve as guest quarters, a game room, a media lounge, or even a private retreat. It’s a space designed to adapt.

​

Technology quietly supports the entire home. A Vivint smart-home system integrates security cameras, irrigation, thermostats, and garage doors, all controlled through an app. The home is wired with Cat-6 connectivity, pre-wired for whole-home and patio speakers, and pre-wired windows for motorized blinds. It’s a property designed with both comfort and future readiness in mind.

​

Practical infrastructure is equally impressive. The private well was drilled an additional 100 feet for reliability, producing water so pristine it’s often compared to artesian.  A water softening and filtration system, dual-zone HVAC, blown-in insulation -making for quiet interiors- and recently upgraded high-end roof ridge caps ensure the home performs just as well behind the scenes as it does visually.

​

Outside, the possibilities expand even further.

Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, and anyone needing space will appreciate the five-plus car garage capacity, including an oversized two-car garage and a pull-through RV bay garage complete with its own wood-burning stove, utility sink, built-in speakers, and mounted TV.  Two dedicated RV spaces offer full hookups with water, sewer, and power, making it easy to host guests or accommodate extended stays. The powered shop adds another layer of functionality, perfect for projects, storage, or equipment. Even additional three-rail wood fencing—valued around $7,000—conveys with the property, along with power gates positioned behind the shop.

 

The outdoor spaces are just as inviting. Automatic sprinklers and drip irrigation nourish the trees and landscaping, while a gazebo-covered patio creates a natural place for relaxed evenings and gatherings with friends. The interior backyard is fully fenced, offering a secure area for pets to roam freely. Irrigation water rights are also available, adding another layer of long-term practicality.

​

What truly sets this property apart, though, is the RUT zoning. Combined with the absence of HOA restrictions and the benefit of an agricultural tax exemption, it provides both freedom and financial advantage. The land offers flexibility today and potential for the future—a rare combination within Meridian city limits.

Standing here, looking across the acreage with the mountains in the distance and the city just minutes away, it’s easy to see why properties like this are so hard to find.  It isn’t just a home.  It’s space to breathe, room to grow, and a place designed to support whatever comes next.

​

​

Properties offering acreage within Meridian city limits have become increasingly harder to find.  As the area continues to grow, large parcels are steadily being divided into smaller developments, making homes like this harder to recreate.

This property stands out because it brings together a combination that buyers search for but seldom find in one place:

• 5 usable acres in town
• No HOA restrictions
• Newer custom construction
• Extensive RV and shop infrastructure
• Smart-home technology and efficiency features
• Potential for an additional residence up to 1,250 sq ft
• Pasture space for animals

It offers the freedom of country living while remaining close to everything Meridian has to offer—something that becomes more valuable with every passing year.

For buyers looking for space, flexibility, and long-term value, this is the kind of property that rarely comes along twice.
