Pine Brook in Rexburg, Idaho — the golf-course neighborhood, from the recorded documents

Two plats, two eras, one fence line from the fairways

The recorded facts first. Pine Brook Subdivision Division No. 1 was recorded November 6, 2000, as a Madison County plat (instrument 286295): 16.16 acres — eleven lots of 1.0 to 2.4 acres plus a 0.88-acre greenbelt — with the Teton Lakes Golf Course printed along its south boundary and a certificate that lots are served by individual wells, with no public water or sewer systems. Eight years later, Pine Brook Estates Division No. 2 (December 19, 2008, instrument 350709) arrived as a City of Rexburg addition: roughly sixty half-acre lots on Oak Hill Way, Castle Pines Road, and Pine Brook Lane, with two lots set aside as a park with a non-motorized walking path, US Highway 20 along the east, and the Teton Island Canal (with a recorded 30-foot access easement) on the south. The name drift — "Subdivision" vs "Estates" — is on the recorded plats themselves, and both names are in live use.

Buying next to a golf course means buying next to whatever that golf course later decides to become. It is usually fine. It is still worth knowing who owns it.

Homes: still building after 25 years

• 98 homes in assessor detail, 1981–2026 — pre-plat homesteads, then modern waves: 13 homes in 2016, 29 across 2021–2022, 12 in 2024, and four homes already carrying a 2026 year-built (September 2026 records). This is an active, current construction market, not a finished neighborhood.
• 1,650–4,079 sq ft above grade, 2–7 bedrooms, basements on 58 of 98 parcels.
• Assessed values reach $1,016,368 — the first subdivision this site has profiled with a seven-figure assessed parcel (taxation numbers, not prices).
• Zoning is rural-residential (RR1/RR2) — in-city addresses at acreage scale, like Willow Brook Estates across town but with fairways over the back fence.

Covenants: a split answer, read from the record

• Division 1 (2000): the plat's own dedication says "the subdivision has protective covenants" — but no such instrument is recorded, searched three ways as of September 2026: under the subdivision description, under the subdivision name, and under the name of each of the five owners who signed the Division 1 plat. The county index does carry one 2016 filing typed "protective covenants" against a Division 1 lot (instrument 399671), and reading it settles the point: it is a City of Rexburg lot-tie agreement, letting one owner treat two adjoining lots as a single development lot for zoning purposes. It sets no building rules and binds no one else. Which text, if any, binds a specific acre lot is exactly what a title commitment answers — ask for it early.
• Division 2 (2008): a 40-page declaration recorded the same day as its plat (instrument 350710, structural articles read for this page): architectural-committee approval for improvements; fencing capped at six feet, compatible in style, never past the front setback — with certain entry, corner, and view lots expressly fencing-restricted; screened antennas; one 3×2-foot for-sale sign allowed; drainage patterns protected; and an association framework — the declaration authorizes a "Pine Brook Estates Division #2 Homeowners Association" with regular, special, and limited assessments, including the power to fix a neglected exterior after 15 days' notice and bill the owner with a lien. No dollar amounts appear in the text, and whether the association actively operates is not something the record states — ask the seller, and get the current budget (if any) in writing.

Wells, canal, flood, and broadband

• Water and sewer vary by era: Division 1 is plat-certified for wells with no public systems; Division 2's declaration carries water-supply and sewage-disposal articles this page has not quoted in full. Verify the specific lot's arrangement with the city and seller — it changes monthly cost, inspection scope, and lender requirements.
• Flood: no FEMA feature intersects either plat geometry (county GIS, September 2026); the canal easement on the south edge keeps the per-property determination on the checklist.
• Broadband: per provider-filed FCC data (December 2025 filings, pulled September 2026), every sampled address shows Silver Star fiber up to 1,000/200 Mbps and Sparklight cable up to 1,000/50 Mbps, plus Fybercom 300/300 fixed wireless and Starlink. Provider filings, not measurements — confirm at the address.

What Pine Brook costs: the honest version

Idaho is a non-disclosure state — sale prices are not public record. Sourced context for the market around it:

• $430,949 — Zillow's modeled typical home value for the city of Rexburg (ZHVI — an estimate, not a sale record; up 5.4% from a year earlier) (Zillow Research ZHVI, September 2026)
• $634,900 — median listing price, Rexburg metro area (Madison + Fremont counties), up from $599,250 a year earlier (Realtor.com via FRED, September 2026)
• 7.24% — average 30-year fixed mortgage rate, U.S. (Freddie Mac PMMS via FRED, week of October 29, 2026)

A golf-adjacent acreage neighborhood with seven-figure assessed parcels sits far from any city-wide typical value — the numbers above are context, never a Pine Brook price. New construction here also means comparing builder pricing against resales under different covenant regimes (and possibly different utilities), which is precisely where lot-level due diligence earns its keep. Subdivision-level sale data will be added from MLS records once access and publication permissions are in place.
