Harvest Heights subdivision in Rexburg, Idaho
What got platted
The recorded facts first. Harvest Heights recorded four divisions with Madison County: Division No. 1 on August 6, 2003 (instrument 305742), Division 2a in May 2006 (327924), Division 3 in December 2006 (333684), and Division No. 4 in November 2015 (398972) — all inside Rexburg city limits. The subdivision sits off South Millhollow Road on the city's south side, with 62 parcels across Harvest Drive, Autumn Drive and Court, Wheatland Drive and Circle, and Hillside Drive.
One clarification the record forces: Harvest Heights is not Harvest Estates — that is a separate 2021 county plat with its own covenants. The names get mixed up in searches, including in the county's own document index.
Homes, lots, and what the county records show
- The big-home end of Rexburg: above-grade living space runs about 1,751–5,826 sq ft, bedrooms run 3–7, and 40 of 46 homes have basements — total finished space often lands well beyond the above-grade number (county assessor detail records, August 2026).
- Built mostly 2004–2009, with infill continuing through 2025; two 1981-built homes predate the plat and were folded in.
- Assessed values on improved-home parcels ran about $501,000 to $1,175,000 in the August 2026 county pull (n=25) — among the highest subdivision ranges in the city. Assessed value is a taxation number, not a market price.
- Zoning is a mix of LDR1, LDR2, and RR2, with a few irrigated agricultural parcels at the edges — lots run from a townhome-scale 0.03 acres up to nearly 4 acres.
HOA and covenants: found in the record — under the developer's name
Here is a due-diligence lesson worth the whole page: searching the Madison County index for "Harvest Heights" covenants returns nothing, because the covenant filings were recorded with the description field blank. They are indexed under the developer — the recorded plat's dedication names Richard F. and Jill D. Smith, and a name search surfaces the whole chain. The recorded covenants, each viewable free at the county recorder:
- Original Protective Covenants, 2003 — instrument 306527 (recorded September 4, 2003, correcting 306369) — the Division 1 era, read in full for this guide. From its text: single-family only, at most two stories, at least a two-car enclosed attached garage, minimum 1,800 sq ft for a single-story (excluding basement), a 45-foot front setback, at least 50% brick or stone on the exterior, roofs pitched 6/12 or steeper, earth-tone colors, a 12-month build completion rule, no rentals or basement apartments, no home occupations, and no trucks or trailers parked in the subdivision. Amendment takes a two-thirds vote of lot owners.
- Phase Two declarations, 2006 (instruments 327923, 329638, 332230), amended and restated June 30, 2009 as instrument 355028, by Harvest Heights, LLC.
- 2015 amendment — instrument 393616, revising the land-use paragraph.
From the Phase Two text this page has actually read: single-family homes only, one dwelling of at most two stories per lot with an attached garage for at least three cars; no pre-built or log homes; no condominium, apartment, or multiple-dwelling structures; sheds and detached garages need written Architectural Control Committee approval, matching materials, and a rear-of-lot location; and since 2015, farming is expressly allowed on lots without a home yet, with Declarant or association approval.
The HOA, verified as far as the public record goes: the 2003 declaration's section 22 creates the Harvest Heights Homeowners Association — membership attaches to every lot, one vote per lot, with authority to manage common areas and levy assessments. And the association is not just paper: the Idaho Secretary of State shows "Harvest Heights Homeowners Association" active-current (an unincorporated nonprofit association registered in 2009, with its address inside the subdivision), plus a separate "Harvest Heights Phase Two Homeowners Association, Inc." incorporated in July 2025 — worth knowing, because it means the phase distinction is live governance, not history. What the recorded text still does not contain is any dues amount — assessments are set by the association, so get the current fee sheet and rules in writing through the title company's resale documents during due diligence.
One more honesty note: these covenants are phase-specific — which declaration governs a particular lot depends on its division, so confirming the right document for the exact lot is part of any offer here. And none of this belongs to Harvest Estates, the different subdivision whose covenants show up first in a casual search.
Flood, utilities, and services
- Flood: no FEMA flood feature intersects the recorded plat footprint in the county GIS flood layer (queried August 2026); per-property determination at purchase remains standard.
- City services: inside Rexburg city limits; utility specifics are being confirmed with the city and will be stated here precisely rather than assumed now.
- Broadband: per provider-filed FCC National Broadband Map data (December 2025 filings, pulled August 2026), every sampled Harvest Heights address shows Silver Star fiber-to-the-premises up to 1,000/200 Mbps and Sparklight cable up to 1,000/50 Mbps, plus licensed fixed wireless (Fybercom at 300/300, Anthem, T-Mobile) and satellite. These are the speeds providers filed with the FCC, not measurements — fiber providers often sell faster tiers than they file, so confirm current plans at the address.
What Harvest Heights costs: the honest version, plus a real story
Idaho is a non-disclosure state — sale prices are not public record. The assessed range above is the public record's ceiling-and-floor; the sourced context for the wider market:
- $432,774 — Zillow's modeled typical home value for the city of Rexburg (ZHVI — an estimate, not a sale record; up 5.0% from a year earlier) (Zillow Research ZHVI, June 2026)
- $649,766 — median listing price, Rexburg metro area (Madison + Fremont counties) (Realtor.com via FRED, June 2026)
- 61 days — median days on market, Rexburg metro area (44 days in April 2026) (Realtor.com via FRED, June 2026)
And one data point no aggregator has: Kjel bought a house here for clients. A newly combined family with a big budget liked a home that had sat on the market a little long, asking $825,000. He watched it, noticed the sellers repainting mid-listing — a tell that they were getting motivated — brought his buyers back through, and closed around $730,000 with costs included. Nearly $100,000 off asking, in a neighborhood where the county's own numbers say values hold. That is his own transaction, told with client details omitted — not MLS data, and not a promise that the same spread exists on any given week.
It was truly a great deal in one of the best neighborhoods in Rexburg.

Common questions about Harvest Heights
Where is Harvest Heights in Rexburg?
South Rexburg, off South Millhollow Road — streets include Harvest Drive, Autumn Drive and Court, Wheatland Drive and Circle, and Hillside Drive, reaching toward South Hidden Valley Road. All four recorded divisions are inside Rexburg city limits.
How big are homes in Harvest Heights?
This is the big-home end of Rexburg. County assessor records (August 2026) show above-grade living space from about 1,751 to 5,826 square feet, 3 to 7 bedrooms, and basements in 40 of 46 homes — so total finished space often runs well past the above-grade number.
What do homes in Harvest Heights cost?
Idaho is a non-disclosure state — sale prices are not public record — so this page does not quote sold prices it cannot verify. County assessed values on the parcels the assessor categorizes as improved homes ran from about $501,000 to $1,175,000 in August 2026 (taxation numbers, not market prices). As one verifiable data point: Kjel represented buyers here on a home asking $825,000 that closed around $730,000 all-in — his own transaction, told with client details omitted.
Does Harvest Heights have recorded CC&Rs?
Yes — but you will not find them by searching the subdivision’s name, because the covenant filings were recorded with the description field blank and are indexed under the developer (Harvest Heights, LLC / Richard F. Smith). The chain: original Protective Covenants in 2003 (instrument 306527, replacing 306369), Phase Two declarations in 2006, amended and restated June 2009 as instrument 355028, and further amended February 2015 by instrument 393616 — all viewable free at the Madison County Recorder. From the recorded Phase Two text: single-family only, at most two stories, an attached garage for at least three cars, no pre-built or log homes, no condominiums or apartments, and Architectural Control Committee approval for sheds and detached garages. Covenants here are phase-specific — a title company confirms which declaration governs a specific lot.
Does Harvest Heights have an HOA with dues?
Yes on the association, honestly-unknown on the amount. The 2003 recorded covenants (instrument 306527, section 22) create the Harvest Heights Homeowners Association — membership attaches to every lot, one vote per lot, with power to levy assessments — and the Idaho Secretary of State shows that association active-current (registered 2009, addressed inside the subdivision), plus a separate Harvest Heights Phase Two Homeowners Association incorporated in July 2025. No dues amount appears in any recorded text — assessments are budget-set, so verify current fees through the title company’s resale documents during due diligence.
Is Harvest Heights the same as Harvest Estates?
No. Harvest Heights is a City of Rexburg subdivision platted 2003–2015 off South Millhollow Road. Harvest Estates is a separate Madison County plat recorded in 2021, with its own recorded covenants. Documents for one do not govern the other — worth knowing, because the names get conflated in searches.
How old are Harvest Heights homes?
The plats recorded 2003–2015, and most homes went up 2004–2009, with infill continuing through 2025. Two homes carry a 1981 year built — they predate the subdivision plat and were folded into it. Source: county assessor records, August 2026.
