About Idaho Land Partners
Idaho Land Partners was created to give Idaho landowners a stake in their land’s success. It is a collaboration of three Idaho-based real estate leaders – Alturas, Brighton Homes, and James Clyde Homes. Together, our team brings decades of local experience in real estate investment, development, and homebuilding. We partner with landowners to purchase and develop property collaboratively – providing cash now and sharing future profits as the project grows. Our approach gives you fair value for your land today and a stake in its future. This local partnership approach means your land is developed with care and quality, and you reap long-term rewards instead of letting outsiders capture all the future value of your land.
While a traditional sale is also an option, where Idaho Land Partners (ILP) excels and sets itself about is how it collaborates with landowners through a unique real estate development model that provides upfront payment and shared future profits.
The timeline below illustrates the three key milestones of this partnership, showing how land value is enhanced at each stage and how both ILP and the landowner benefit.
1
Initial Partnership
a partnership is created and an initial cash payment is made to the owner.
Immediate Payment
The landowner sells a percentage of their raw land to Idaho Land Partners at an agreed price (for example, $50,000 per acre), receiving a substantial upfront payment.
Shared Ownership
ILP typically purchases 50% or more of the land while the landowner retains ownership of the remainder. This partnership structure ensures the landowner keeps a stake in the property’s future success and appreciation.
Landowner Benefit
By partnering in this way, the landowner gains immediate cash while still remaining a co-owner. This sets the stage for future profit-sharing. Because the landowner hasn’t sold all their interest, they stand to gain more as the land’s value grows.

Value Creation Phase
Land Is Entitled and developed
Collaborative Development
Idaho Land Partners oversees the entitlement and approval process – handling zoning, permits, and installing infrastructure like roads, utilities, and drainage. The raw acreage is subdivided into residential lots ready for home construction.
Value Growth
Development dramatically increases the land’s value. For example, an acre purchased for $50K might be divided into several home lots (typically 3–4 lots per acre) each worth $100K or more. This could elevate the value of that original acre to $300K–$400K+ once fully developed.
Ongoing Partnership
Throughout this phase, the landowner’s retained ownership means they automatically share in the appreciation. ILP provides the expertise and capital for improvements, while the landowner benefits from these upgrades without bearing the full cost or effort. Both parties work together, aligning interests to maximize the land’s potential.

Profit Realization
Developed Lot Is Sold to Home Builder
Market Sale of Lots
When development is complete, the finished build-ready lots are sold to home builders at market prices (for example, $100,000+ per lot, depending on location and size).
Profit Sharing
The revenue from these lot sales is shared between ILP and the landowner according to their ownership stake. After covering development costs, both parties receive their portion of the profits. This means the landowner enjoys a second payout beyond the initial land sale – directly participating in the profits of the now-valuable property.
Shared Success
By retaining partial ownership from the start, the landowner has maintained a stake in the land’s success. They reap the rewards of the land’s increased value alongside ILP. In summary, the landowner received immediate compensation at the outset and later gains from the ultimate sale of developed lots. This win-win timeline showcases how Idaho Land Partners collaborates with landowners to turn raw land into thriving developments, while ensuring the landowner benefits at every step.
Additional Benefits
ILP and our home builder partners build and have been building high quality homes for decades. The quality not only ensures that your land has highest impact on Idaho families and their quality of life, but it also increases the demand and value of future phases of development.
ILP’s reputation and relationships increase the probability that your land gets the proper improvements that ensures its long-term success.
ILP also has the experience and relationships to maximize the commercial portions of your land development.
ILP’s deep relationships can help you reinvest the proceeds from your land sale into cash-flowing assets and other investments in the most tax-efficient and timely way possible.
