The Setting
Hidden Gardens is a part of the Bella Terra Gardens PUD, an award-winning master-planned, gated community located in the highly desirable South Hill are of Spokane, Washington.
Encompassing 17 acres, Bella Terra is large enough to create its own self-contained neighborhood, yet small enough to engender a strong sense of community.
This is more than a neighborhood – it’s a healing garden community designed with the scientifically proven principles that promote relaxation, well-being, and connection to nature.
Hidden Gardens is tucked near the end of a quiet residential street where the road ends just beyond the community, creating a naturally peaceful setting with only occasional passing cars and almost no street noise—yet just minutes from shopping centers and only 15 minutes from downtown Spokane.
At its heart lies the 60,000 square foot Common Area Central Garden, unmatched anywhere in the Inland Northwest.
A Cohesive, Master-Planned Community
Every detail of Hidden Gardens—the site layout, architecture, and landscape design—has been created by one unified design team to achieve harmony, beauty, and variety. This has created a unified contemporary aesthetic while still offering variety in home sizes and building groups.
Community standards further protect that vision. A Homeowners Association (HOA) protects the community’s integrity through architectural and landscape guidelines, provides professional landscape maintenance, and reviews exterior changes through its Architectural Committee. These measures ensure the long-term value and timeless appeal of every home in the community.
Bella Terra PUD – Overview of the Propose Full Scope of the Development
The first phase of the Bella Terra Gardens Planned Unit Development (PUD) includes 36 luxury townhomes, most valued between $800,000 to over $1 million. These residences are fully 100% occupied, setting the tone for the community’s craftsmanship and quality.
Now under construction, Hidden Gardens adds 16 new townhomes—designed to complement Bella Terra’s established level of quality and character while introducing fresh perspectives in architecture and garden-inspired living.
The list below highlights some of the main features of the conceptual site plan shown above. The site plan and items below are conceptual and are based on 2026 design plans and subject to change.
- Central Garden: 60,000 square feet
- Future Pocket Gardens and Viewpoints
- Existing Residences (Phase I): 36 luxury townhomes
- Hidden Gardens Phase: 16 new townhome condominiums
- Remaining Land: Approximately 10 acres for future development
- Walking Paths: Over one mile of internal pathways at full buildout
This overall scale allows Bella Terra to function as a true residential setting rather than a single project—large enough to support meaningful open space, walking paths, and shared landscape features, while still remaining manageable, private, and cohesive. As additional homes are completed, the community becomes more fully realized, with shared elements and infrastructure supported across a larger ownership base, including their ongoing financial support and maintenance. This broader foundation contributes to a more stable and well-balanced community over time, supporting consistent upkeep, HOA stability, and long-term value.
