And with that, our 2026 Parade story at Lone Star Ranch comes full circle.
THE MAKENNA by Brookstone Custom Homes is officially SOLD.
After going pending 28 days after the Parade ended and spending 41 days on market, this award-winning 2026 Snake River Valley Parade Home has officially closed.
And while there was plenty about THE MAKENNA that caught your attention during the Parade, what may have defined this home best was how incredibly well it lived.
Award-Winning Design
Featured in Category 3 of the 2026 Snake River Valley Parade of Homes, THE MAKENNA earned recognition throughout the home:
1st Place | Best Architectural Floor Plan
1st Place | Best Decorated
2nd Place | Best Overall, Judges Choice Award
2nd Place | Best Interior Design
2nd Place | Best Kitchen
2nd Place | Best Primary Suite
Of all those honors, Best Architectural Floor Plan may tell THE MAKENNA's story best.
At 3,845 square feet, the home offered impressive spaces, but it was the way those spaces worked together that made the difference.
A Floor Plan That Worked
Three private bedroom suites created separation for family and guests, while a dedicated office provided its own space away from the home's main gathering areas.
The vaulted great room connected naturally with the kitchen and dining spaces, creating an open central living area without giving up the more private spaces elsewhere in the home.
The kitchen paired Thermador appliances with an expansive island and a walk-through pantry that added another layer of function behind the scenes.
And when it was time to get away from the main living areas, a separate theater room with wet bar created an entirely different destination for movie nights, game days and entertaining.
THE MAKENNA didn't rely on one room to do everything.
There was a place for gathering, a place for entertaining, a place for working and plenty of space to retreat.
And Then There Was the Garage
For many Parade visitors, this was the space they couldn't stop talking about.
THE MAKENNA featured approximately 2,744 square feet of heated garage space, including a 54-foot RV bay and double boat bays.
Epoxy floors and a 14-foot rear garage door added even more versatility for RVs, boats, vehicles, recreational equipment and storage.
On a 1.02-acre corner homesite, it was a feature that fit the property and the lifestyle buyers were looking for.
The garage wasn't simply oversized.
It was designed to be used.

Entertaining Beyond the Great Room
That same focus on how people actually live carried outside.
The outdoor living space included a built-in 38-inch natural gas grill and beverage cooler, giving owners another place to gather and entertain when the weather invited everyone outside.
Inside, six-zone audio extended throughout the home, while the theater and wet bar offered another entertaining space away from the great room.
You could have a house full of people without everyone needing to be in the same place.

From Parade Home to SOLD
The Snake River Valley Parade of Homes gave visitors the opportunity to experience THE MAKENNA in a way photographs and listing remarks simply couldn't replicate.
You could walk the floor plan.
See the separation between the suites.
Experience the scale of the garage.
Move from the great room into the kitchen and through the pantry.
Step into the theater and understand why having a second gathering space mattered.
It was a home that made even more sense once you experienced it.
After going pending 28 days after the Parade ended and spending 41 days on market, THE MAKENNA found its buyer.
And now, it is officially SOLD.
Congratulations to Brookstone Custom Homes on an award-winning home and a successful 2026 Parade of Homes.
