Valnova in Eagle, Idaho: The Complete Community Guide

Every so often a development comes along that reshapes how a region thinks about community living. In the Treasure Valley, that development is Valnova — a sweeping, resort-style master plan rising in the foothills of Eagle, Idaho. At roughly 6,000 acres, it's less a subdivision than a "town within a town," with its own golf course, lake, village center, and miles of trails. If you're considering building or buying here, this guide covers everything you need to know: where Valnova is, what it offers, who builds there, the schools, the timeline, and how to make it home with Solitude Homes.

Where Is Valnova?

Valnova sits in the northwest foothills of Eagle, a few miles north of the city's charming downtown and about a 30-minute drive from central Boise. You'll find it just north of Beacon Light Road, between Willow Creek Road and Highway 16 — close enough to the valley's shopping, dining, and employers to be convenient, but tucked against the open foothills for the views and recreation that define the location. It's the same stretch of Eagle that has become the Treasure Valley's address of choice for buyers who want space, scenery, and a premium lifestyle.

A “Town Within a Town”

What sets Valnova apart from a typical subdivision is its scale and self-sufficiency. Spanning around 6,000 acres and developed by Clyde Companies and GWC Capital, the master plan blends residential neighborhoods, commercial and retail space, parks, and recreation into a single connected community. At full build-out it's planned to include a wide range of home types and price points — from single-family homes to townhomes and apartments — alongside a 150,000-square-foot Village Center. The guiding idea is that daily life, recreation, and connection can all happen close to home: the essence of Eagle's “Life, Done Right.”

The Amenities: Resort Living, Every Day

Valnova is designed around an unusually deep set of amenities for the region. Highlights include:

• An 18-hole championship golf course at the north end of the community, with foothill and open-space vistas.

• Valnova Lake — a 2.5-acre lake with a beach and paddleboarding, part of the Glencara Recreation Village.

• A central clubhouse with dining and event space, plus indoor and outdoor pools, spas, and poolside cabanas.

• Pickleball and tennis courts and an on-site fitness center.

• A Village Center with shops, restaurants, picnic areas, and an amphitheater for gatherings and events.

• Miles of trails via the Glencara Greenway regional corridor and the surrounding foothills.

• Four-season recreation — a summer lift carrying bikers and hikers to hilltop trails, plus winter ice skating and a tubing hill.

• 1 GB fiber-optic internet included for every home — a meaningful perk for remote workers.

Taken together, it's a lifestyle that's hard to match in the Treasure Valley: golf in the morning, paddleboard or pickleball in the afternoon, and dinner and live music at the village in the evening — all without leaving the community.
