Livable Luxury
Goffin Heritage Homes craft beauty & elegance
by Jennifer Walton
In the tranquil landscapes of the Magic Valley of southern Idaho, Meggan Goffin-Hubsmith embarked on a remarkable journey as the proud owner of Goffin Heritage Homes, a renowned custom home builder. From her earliest years, life was intertwined with the world of construction. As a second-generation contractor, she cherished every opportunity to join her father at his job sites, absorbing the sights, sounds, and lessons of the trade.
These intangibles and professional upbringing for excellence are evident in every project she undertakes. Each home she creates is a declaration of quality and sophistication, symbolizing her passion and commitment to her craft. More than just a builder, she is a visionary. Constantly pushing boundaries and redefining luxury living, she infuses innovation and elegance into every aspect of her work. When the owner of a Wild Rose development home site called Goffin Heritage Homes, Goffin-Hubsmith knew her creativity would be appreciated and invaluable.
Her clients, who had requested a family home with room for guests, an RV bay, an office, and a pool, had great style from the beginning yet needed guidance in “pulling it all together,” says Goffin-Hubsmith. Described as a modern manor, the contemporary estate-style home showcases an impressive open layout on the first floor, which imbues a feeling of expansive luxury and connectivity. Entering the home through an oversized door exposes a soaring 19-foot ceiling, calling immediate attention to the jewelry of the home—the lighting, and in this case, a showstopping chandelier casting a warm, ambient glow and setting the home’s tone.
The voluminous feeling continues into the great room, with its dining area and a kitchen, where a seamless blend of design creates a harmonious space. The kitchen features an oversized island and is a sophisticated centerpiece for culinary endeavors and social gatherings. Notable is the concealed walk-in pantry and prep area. “The scullery pantry is ideal for entertaining,” says Goffin-Hubsmith. This type of pantry enhances the functionality and aesthetics of a kitchen, offering practical benefits for everyday living and facilitating uninterrupted entertaining. It’s a favorable addition to modern interior design, providing a dedicated space for organization, food preparation, and behind-the-scenes tasks while maintaining a polished and inviting kitchen environment. The warm wood cabinets are juxtaposed against light walls. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generous family room with access to a patio and an outdoor fireplace, where dinners can extend to desserts in this heated outdoor living area.
Throughout this open space, carefully curated artwork and decorative accents punctuate the neutral color scheme with pops of color and texture, infusing the room with personality and character.
“What I look forward to in my work is providing a cohesive experience for the client. Starting with a client from day one with a proposed budget and beginning to source products, each stage is fun. When I encourage our clients to enjoy the building experience and the process, communication, and decision-making required while building a home, they understand why building high-quality homes is a true collaboration. I love this process. I love making them happy.”

The primary suite offers a sizeable fireplace, spacious steam shower, dual vanity, standalone tub, and an airy walk-in closet. The bedroom, with minimal decor and brimming with natural light, is subtle and soothing. That feeling continues in the bath. “They wanted a spa-feel for their space with plenty of room for relaxation,” says Goffin-Hubsmith. The bathroom retreat is enveloped in a cocoon of luxury and serenity, with an ivory and cream color palette with functional elements such as pretty-as-can-be backlit vanity lighting and heated tile floors. In this sanctuary, every detail is thoughtfully designed to evoke a sense of calm and mindfulness.
The downstairs includes a private office painted in a rich hue with custom shelving and cabinetry in matching tones that add a dramatic backdrop, inspiring a stylish and refined environment for work and contemplation. Nearby is a versatile flex room, a guest suite with a full bath, and a lovely pool house. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms with private baths and a necessary rec room for the family.

And when Goffin Heritage Homes are for resale, realtors and prospective buyers take notice. Realtors recognize the craftsmanship, materials, structural integrity, energy efficiency, layout, and attention to detail. “Our quality overall is recognizable. Our homes are sturdy, well-built, and thoughtfully designed. We are known in the area for bringing livable luxury to the Magic Valley and Wood River Valley.” Further, a Goffin Heritage Home typically garners premium prices and draws in selective buyers who appreciate the builder’s esteemed reputation.
“I am passionate about building, and my team welcomes hard things. There isn’t a challenge we won’t take on. I love our team and figuring out how we can take our clients’ requests and show them what we are capable of,” says Goffin-Hubsmith. “Our team members genuinely enjoy each other, and I believe that trait is revealed in our construction because we have repeat clients, some even on their third project with us, and their referrals are wonderful. The majority of our clients result in long-term friendships. When you speak with your clients for two years straight and then run into them, the first words you say to each other are, “I miss you dearly!”
Goffin Heritage Homes’ commitment extends beyond constructing homes; it’s about building lasting connections and fulfilling dreams. Their “success does not come from luck; it is built and crafted.”
They aim to create beautiful homes and legacies that their clients and families can cherish for generations.
