Mica Flats is the rural country south of Coeur d'Alene, spread toward Kidd Island Bay in Kootenai County where the subdivisions thin out and the lots get big. This is acreage living — long gravel drives, pasture and pine, room for a horse or a tractor — and it changes what a shed out here is for. We build on-site, right on your property, so the size of the building is set by what you need to store, not by what a delivery truck could squeeze into a backyard. Most owners here come to us for a roomy storage shed or a detached garage with space the in-town lots never have.
A custom shed built on-site on a Mica Flats acreage lot — sized for the property instead of a city backyard.
The big advantage here is space. Where an in-town Coeur d'Alene lot tops out around a 10x12, a Mica Flats parcel usually has room for a 12x20, a 12x24, or a real shop with bay doors. Building on-site means a long gravel drive or a site set back from the road is no obstacle — the crew brings material down the drive and assembles in place, rather than backing a finished building across soft ground. That makes farm storage for hay, tack, and feed straightforward, and gives a workshop the footprint to actually work in.
Most of Mica Flats is unincorporated Kootenai County, not city limits, and there is no single HOA over the whole area. Some platted subdivisions out here carry their own CC&Rs on outbuilding size, siding, or placement, so check your covenants before you finalize anything. We match the roofline and finish to your home, and the permits page covers how the county handles setbacks and larger accessory buildings on acreage.
Acreage has space for 12x20, 12x24, and shop-sized footprints an in-town backyard can't fit. We build to what the property holds.
We bring material down the drive and build on-site, so a site set back from the road is no problem.

Bigger than almost anywhere in town. Mica Flats lots are large enough that a 12x20, a 12x24, or a full shop with bay doors is realistic, where a city backyard usually tops out around a 10x12. Because we build on-site, the size is driven by what you need to store and what your covenants allow — not by what a truck could deliver. We place it to keep the rest of your acreage open.
Most of Mica Flats falls under Kootenai County rather than city limits. The county exempts smaller utility sheds under a set square-footage threshold, but larger buildings, anything with power or plumbing, and anything you plan to occupy generally need a permit. Setbacks apply either way — on acreage they are usually easy to meet, but worth confirming first. Our permits page covers the county basics and larger accessory buildings.
There is no single HOA over all of Mica Flats — much of the area is rural acreage with no neighborhood association at all. Some platted subdivisions out here do carry CC&Rs that limit outbuilding size, dictate siding or roof color, or set where a building may sit, so check whether your parcel is in one before you finalize the design. If it is, we build to match what your covenants require; if not, you mostly just need to meet Kootenai County setbacks.
Yes — rural access is normal for us out here. Building on-site means we bring material down your gravel drive and assemble the shed in place, so a site set well back from the road is no obstacle. There is no finished building to back across soft pasture or squeeze past trees. Tell us how your property is reached and where you want the building to sit, and we plan the delivery and build around it.
It depends on what the land is for. Owners with animals or a hobby farm lean toward farm storage for hay, tack, and feed; people with toys and equipment want a roomy storage shed or a detached garage with bay space for a tractor or side-by-side; and anyone who tinkers gets a workshop with room to move around. A 12x20 or 12x24 covers most of these, and we size it to your property and use.
