At 7406 Stoney Creek Drive, 1.77 acres do more than add land. The larger wooded footprint can give a custom-home buyer more ways to position the house, preserve views, and create separation—subject to the site’s actual buildable area.
FlexMLS currently lists this Gull Lake Schools homesite at $62,514. The approximately 1.77-acre parcel backs protected parkland and is described as having no rear neighbors. Stoney Creek includes over 160 acres, more than 30 acres of parkland and trails, underground utilities, and Cornerstone Construction as the exclusive builder.
The short answer
The feature in this article matters because it changes how a buyer could use, plan, or evaluate this specific property. It should be weighed alongside the full cost, site conditions, documents, and the way the home or land needs to function day to day.
Privacy is created by placement, not acreage alone
A larger lot can provide more choices for the angle of the home, the distance from the road, and the relationship between windows and neighboring houses. Strategic placement may also preserve meaningful clusters of trees instead of leaving only a narrow perimeter.
However, setbacks, easements, grade, soils, drainage, and utility routes can shrink or reshape the usable building envelope. The privacy plan should be drawn from a survey, not assumed from the acreage number.
Think in viewsheds from the rooms you use most
Before finalizing the floor plan, picture the view from the kitchen sink, great room, primary bedroom, deck, and future lower-level spaces. The best house position may not be centered on the parcel.
Garage doors, driveway approach, outdoor living, and service areas also affect privacy. A cohesive plan can keep practical functions convenient while orienting daily living toward the wooded rear setting and protected land.
What should a buyer verify?
Good property decisions come from converting attractive features into clear, written facts. For 7406 Stoney Creek Drive, Augusta, a buyer should:
Review a survey showing boundaries, easements, setbacks, and the protected-land edge.
Walk multiple possible house locations with the builder rather than assuming the center is best.
Confirm soils, septic area, well location, drainage, and utility routes.
Study neighboring home positions and likely sight lines from each side.
Verify the current builder agreement and Stoney Creek architectural standards.
These checks are not meant to make the process feel complicated. They help the buyer and builder make decisions in the right order and reduce the chance that a late discovery controls the plan.
Local and planning context
The Zillow land guide identifies survey, access, utilities, environmental conditions, zoning, and restrictions as core checks. Those general categories should be paired with Stoney Creek’s recorded documents and site-specific professional review.
Who may be a good fit?
This property may fit a buyer who values the feature discussed here and is willing to complete the due diligence needed to use it well. It may be less suitable for someone whose must-have plan depends on dimensions, permissions, or costs that have not yet been verified.
We encourage buyers to compare the property with their real priorities: total budget, timeline, maintenance, accessibility, storage, outdoor use, privacy, and future flexibility. A good match is more important than forcing a house or lot to fit a plan that belongs somewhere else.
