Bates Homes was honored to received three prestigious awards during the 2026 Magic Valley Parade of Homes. Patterson Farms’ Plan 4 at 211 Maxine Lane West in Kimberly, Idaho was recognized with Best Interior, Best Exterior, and Best Outdoor Living, making it one of the most awarded homes in this year’s event.
The home was designed by the award-winning architectural firm William Hezmalhalch Architects and features interior design by the acclaimed team at Design Tech. The extraordinary vision for this residence blends timeless design, modern functionality, and thoughtful details throughout its 3,342-square-foot floorplan.
“We are honored to receive this recognition from the Magic Valley Parade of Homes,” said Fred Bates, Jr., President, Bates Homes. “These awards reflect the dedication of our entire team and trade partners who helped bring this vision to life. Our goal was to create a home that not only looks beautiful but also enhances the way families live, gather, and connect.”
The award-winning floorplan is presented with four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, a large bonus room, and a three-car garage. One of its greatest strengths is its flexibility, offering a variety of configurations to suit different lifestyles. Homebuyers can personalize the design with three to five bedrooms, two-and-a-half to four-and-a-half bathrooms, a dedicated den or home office, an optional loft or bonus room, and a range of living spaces to fit their needs. The featured Parade home includes a first-floor primary suite and a first-floor junior suite, providing exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, or evolving family needs.
Interior features that contributed to the home’s Best Interior award include Mohawk Discovery Ridge luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the first floor, Dale Tile Lincoln White quartz slab countertops with a full tile backsplash, Knotty Alder shaker cabinetry by Western Idaho Cabinets, custom lighting throughout, exposed wood beams, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace in the Great Room.
The home’s exterior architecture and curb appeal earned the Best Exterior award, while its backyard living spaces captured Best Outdoor Living honors. Outdoor amenities include a covered patio, custom-designed landscaping, a putting green, and a firepit gathering area designed to extend living and entertaining beyond the home’s interior walls.
