A Spokane real estate broker says he plans to develop a large-lot residential subdivision with 14 single-family homesites in northwest Spokane County.

The broker, Donald Hertz, who owns Great West Properties, says he plans to sell the 10-acre lots to builders and future homeowners, and likely would price each lot at around $79,000.

The subdivision, to be called Moonshadow, would be located about four miles west of Eloika Lake on 140 acres of land north of Bridges Road and east of Sherman Road. Eloika Lake is about 20 miles north of Spokane via U.S. 2.

Access to the lots would be via Dillon Road, a private interior road that connects with Sherman Road, Hertz says. Hahn Engineering Inc., of Spokane, designed Dillon Road, which was built to serve the proposed Moonshadow subdivision.

Power and phone service will be available to each lot through underground conduits, he says. Water likely would be supplied through private wells, although Hertz says he hasn't decided whether to drill wells prior to selling lots or to leave that responsibility to buyers of the lots.

The land, which is zoned for rural-traditional uses, currently is vacant and is being used for agricultural purposes, he says.

Hertz says he's owned the property for about three years.

He says he's developed and sold 11 other lots that front Sherman and Bridges roads and are adjacent to the proposed Moonshadow subdivision.
