SPECIAL REPORT: Two Acres Above Garfield With Nothing Built and a Lot to Look At at TBD S 10th St

SPECIAL REPORT

GARFIELD, Wash., October 19, 2026. At the edge of a Palouse town of roughly 600 people, a cleared, irregular parcel of 2.31 acres rises above the rooftops and looks out over wheat country. The vacant land at TBD (Land Only) S 10th St, Garfield, WA 99130 is listed at about $160,000 per the listing page as of October 19, 2026 (MLS #296186). It sits right beside another Jordan Vorderbrueggen listing, a manufactured home on an owned lot at 201 S 10th St, which the listing says is available separately.

The facts

Source: the public listing page, as of October 19, 2026. This listing does not appear in the PACMLS residential search, so price and status come from the listing page and should be confirmed with Jordan. Status and price can change without notice.

A hillside lot with room to look around

The listing calls the setting panoramic and describes a cleared lot that leaves room, in its words, for a future homesite, gardens, a small homestead, or a long term hold. The photos show what that means on the ground: a broad, open slope with wheat fields on the far side and the town roofline below.

Shape matters on this one

The listing describes the lot as irregular, and the aerial pictures show why. The parcel follows the line of the surrounding fields rather than a tidy rectangle, and the ground has several levels of open grass. A buyer would want to walk the boundaries in person and look at a survey before picturing anything on it.

Trees, slope, and sky

Several photos show mature evergreens and smaller trees on the lot, with long sight lines in every direction. Open ground like this is the point of the listing: it is a place to start a plan, not a finished property.

The view from above

The drone views show the lot against the working landscape around Garfield. Harvested fields curve around the parcel, and in one frame the cleared ground and a few planted trees stand out against the stubble.

Garfield, briefly

Garfield is a small town in Whitman County on State Route 27 between Palouse and Oakesdale. Per the Town of Garfield, it was founded in the early 1880s, has roughly 600 residents, and sits among wheat fields. The town's own chart lists about 25 to 26 miles to both Pullman and Moscow, Idaho, and 58 miles to Spokane. Check a map for your own route. Per Jordan's Garfield area guide, the downtown includes a grocery and variety store, a coffee and food shop, and a custom meat market, and the town has a library and a pool.

Who would be looking

These are examples of buying situations, not a description of who should or should not buy. Jordan works with every buyer.

• The custom home planner. A buyer who wants to design a house from scratch may like a cleared lot with a view and a blank page. Whether and how a home can be built is a question for the town and county, and this report makes no claim about it.
• The builder. A builder looking for a lot to hold or to build on will want to verify every detail with the appropriate jurisdiction before relying on it.
• The land holder. The listing mentions a long term investment. Some buyers simply want to own acreage near a town and decide later.
• The gardener or small scale grower. The listing mentions gardens and a small homestead as possibilities on a 2.31 acre cleared lot.
• The buyer relocating for work. Someone moving to the Palouse who wants a homesite near Pullman and Moscow can compare a roughly 25 to 26 mile distance, by the town's own chart, with in-town lots elsewhere.
• The property next door. The listing says the manufactured home, shop, and greenhouse property next door, MLS #296158, is available separately. A buyer can look at one parcel or both.

The case for looking now

Nobody can promise what a market will do. These are facts a buyer can weigh today. The price and status come from the listing page as of October 19, 2026, because this listing has no row in the PACMLS residential search.

1. The price is stated plainly. The listing page shows about $160,000 for 2.31 acres, which works out to about $69,260 per acre.
2. Acreage inside city limits is a distinct feature. The listing places the parcel within Garfield city limits and describes it as cleared with a panoramic view.
3. A neighbor option exists. The adjoining property at 201 S 10th St, MLS #296158, is a manufactured home on an owned 0.89 acre lot. PACMLS shows it Active at $150,000, listed September 3, 2026, 46 days on market as of October 19, 2026.
4. Nearby home prices give a reference point. Per Jordan's Garfield area guide, PACMLS showed 5 active site built homes in Garfield from $260,000 to $569,000 as of October 19, 2026. That compares homes, not land, and it says little about what land is worth.
5. The calendar is not a deadline. This report has no verified listing date or days on market for the land, and days on market says nothing certain about what a seller will accept.

The bottom line

This is vacant land, so the value depends on a buyer's plan. What the listing shows is 2.31 acres inside Garfield, a cleared and irregular lot with wide views, and a price of about $160,000 per the listing page. Anyone who wants to build, divide, or use it in a particular way should ask the appropriate local jurisdiction first. Private tours are by appointment.
