The Seed of a Community and Boise Homes

Like a tree symbolizes integrity in nature, the Tree Farm stands alone in its craftsmanship and honor for the land. Once home to a working nursery and farm, the community retains its sense of heritage at every turn—from the nursery-inspired landscaping to the red barn that has been preserved and refashioned for modern use. Wide open spaces, extensive pathways and greenbelts around the community serve to organically connect residents with each other and with nature, while neighborhoods offer a variety of styles that suit the distinct personalities of the people who live there.

The Tree Farm offers a lifestyle of purpose and authenticity. It’s a place where people can feel connected to their neighbors and the Idaho lifestyle they love, while keeping true to their personal style. It’s a community designed to foster relationships, inspired by an age-old example in nature.

A Shared Community Vision for a Boise Neighborhood

When you've developed valued neighborhoods for more than 30 years, your work leaves a lasting impression. You know how to do business with people and have built relationships. Your good reputation spans the region.

If you also happen to be award-winning residential developers like Peter and Derick O'Neill, you're committed to doing work that stands the test of time. So it's no wonder that top developments around Idaho all carry the O'Neill name—River Run, Bown Crossing, and Surprise Valley to name a few in the Treasure Valley. With strong values and vision, the O'Neills continue to raise the standard of living in the region. Their next project is The Tree Farm.

The O'Neills imagined The Tree Farm as a community that offers a progressive approach to neighborhoods and lifestyle, while honoring the heritage of the site. This vision demanded the highest level of talent and expertise, so the O'Neills put together a team of the most qualified professionals in the region who understood and shared their vision. From community planners to architects to builders, dedicated professionals are working to bring The Tree Farm to life. The Carnahan Family, who worked the land for years and still live on the property, regard the Tree Farm as a beautiful extension of their own backyard, and are eager for others to take part in the vision they have helped to shape.

In a sea of sameness, The Tree Farm is a fresh alternative. It offers a whole lifestyle; not just a house. Thoughtful details, quality construction, distinct neighborhoods, and the spirit of its heritage all come together to make it a special place. A place that truly stands apart.

Three Distinct Neighborhoods

Magnolia Neighborhood
~ Bring your own vision ~
What kind of house have you always dreamed of building? This neighborhood, with its vast open spaces and diverse homesites, is a blank canvas upon which you can design and build your masterpiece. Each oversized homesite offers its own interpretation of the land’s nursery heritage, with boulder outcroppings and informal clusters of evergreens. And with expansive views and distinct topography at every turn, inspiration comes easy. Not only does each homesite offer ample room to build a custom home, the neighborhood itself is characterized by open, natural spaces that blend seamlessly with the surrounding countryside. Though every convenience is just minutes away, you’ll get a break from life’s hustle and bustle as you live and play amid greenbelts, landscaped parkways, ponds, and parks on this end of the Tree Farm. Bring your imagination and your builder and visualize your dream home here—whether it’s a turreted chateau style or a rustic, single-level ranch house.



River Birch neighborhood
~ A modern day American dream ~
Think of this neighborhood as a modern day interpretation of the American ideal. Here, four residential enclaves wrap around the lovely Bryce Park. Curbed streets lined with deciduous trees form canopies of green, bringing the park-like setting to your front door. Front yards adorned with crisp hedges and potted plants provide a pleasing setback from the street. Houses vary in style, from storied farmhouses to shingled Cape Cods—and range in size, from 2,200 to 3,500 square feet. The safe and easy lifestyle afforded here harks to yesteryear; children riding bikes to the park, and neighbors gathering for block parties. It’s the quintessential family neighborhood that reflects today’s modern lifestyle.

Golden Willow Neighborhood
~ Living In Harmony ~
You may feel instantly at home in this close-knit neighborhood, which features a lively mix of homes arranged in informal clusters. Whether you’re partial to the Asian Craftsman style with its broad, sweeping gable roofs, or you favor the clean lines of American contemporary architecture, we will work to fulfill your vision. All homes share some common design elements, which help to visually pull the neighborhood together and create a sense of continuity and harmony. Common courtyards provide a link between residences, facilitating neighborly interaction—from spontaneous grill-outs to social gatherings under the cherry trees. When you crave a little solitude, take refuge in the tranquil spaces of your own Japanese-inspired garden, complete with iconic stones, bamboo screens, and stone lanterns. Very zen, indeed.
