More million-dollar homes headed to Pierce County. Here’s where and what that will buy

A housing developer who is behind a new development in the Spanaway area is launching a new project in another area of Pierce County.

Garrette Custom Homes announced this week it is launching Benston Landing, a new Graham-area development. The site offers 10 2-1/2-acre home sites along with 30 acres of preserved open space.

The development is a mile from the new Bethel High School, which broke ground in March , and prices for the new homes will start at $1 million.

The homes will feature Smart Home technology, gas fireplaces, kitchen and bathroom slab countertops, and a Holiday Gourmet appliance package with extended cabinets, built-in microwave with five-burner gas cooktop, according to the company.

Matt Lewis is president of the Puget Sound division of Garrette Custom Homes.

The new development, Lewis said in a statement, “gives buyers the opportunity to really customize an estate home adding special needs such as oversized garages, shops, generational living quarters or one of sprawling one-level plans.”

The home designs will be in the style of craftsman or modern transitional millwork.

Vancouver, Washington-based Garrette has a Tacoma office to support the company’s work in Pierce County and Puget Sound region. The Tacoma office includes a design studio, where home buyers can work with a designer to select fixtures, flooring and more.

Garrette is also the developer of Acorn Park , near Military Road South and 20th Avenue Court South next to the Wellancourt neighborhood in Spanaway. In January, Garrette announced plans for new million-dollar homes at Glacier Pointe in Tehaleh , part of that development’s second phase in the Bonney Lake area.

To launch sales at Benston Landing, Garrette will host a VIP event starting at 10 a.m. May 11 on site, whose GPS location is 6406 255th St. Ct. E., Graham. Online registration for the event is at Garrette’s website.
