Where it fits
Location & local context.
West of the Cooper Point Road corridor on the same peninsula, this region centers on The Evergreen State College, Evergreen Parkway, Overhulse and the wooded Eld Inlet approach.
Regional jurisdiction context: Primarily unincorporated Thurston County with Olympia mailing addresses; this browsing region is not a city boundary.
Sampled parcel jurisdictions: Unincorporated Thurston County. This is separate from the regional browsing label.
Housing, subdivisions & builder research
What the records establish
Housing, development history & ownership.
- Construction history
- MADERA: 2016 (1 year observations); MADERA DIV ONE: 2001–2004 (74 year observations); MADERA DIV TWO: 2003–2004 (81 year observations). Separate recorded groups, not one combined buildout range.
- Housing & styles
- An architectural style is not inferred from a year-built field. Confirm the actual house and original plans.
- Homebuilder
- Original builder has not been established in the sources reviewed.
- Street examples
- RED FERN DR NW · CARDINAL DR NW · LADY FERN LOOP NW. Sample streets, not a boundary or a matched parcel list.
- Parcel-sample jurisdiction
- Unincorporated Thurston County. This reflects the sampled parcels, not every property in the wider browsing region.
- Governance
- Madera Estates has a current local association website. It establishes local association identity, not the exact relationship of all Madera division-name variants or common access rights.Source ↗
Recorded names & construction-year samples (4 record groups)
October 10, 2026 research snapshot. These are legal-description search groups, not a count of homes or certified plat boundaries. Divisions, phases and similarly named records remain separate. Year-built fields can include later replacement buildings and non-house property types.
| Recorded name | Year-built sample | Residential lot sample |
|---|---|---|
| MADERA1 named parcel observations | 20161 year observations · median 2016 | 0.83 acres median1 acreage observations |

Acreage is the median of positive lot-size observations below 100 acres coded RES in the research, not a measurement of every home lot. Samples can be incomplete or overlap; do not add them to calculate community totals. Confirm the actual parcel, original permit, additions and recorded map before relying on a date or size.
Evidence: community documented. Development dates, association formation and individual home completion are separate facts. Research updated October 10, 2026.

Questions to take to a showing
The useful details
What changes from one home to the next?
This is a named subdivision. The recorded plat, phase and parcel explain the legal footprint; the community name alone does not establish a home’s age, builder or shared rights.
What the records show
The county research keeps 4 recorded-name groups separate. “MADERA DIV TWO” has 81 county records with a year built from 2003–2004, median 2004; sampled residential lots have a 0.14-acre median (81 observations); “MADERA DIV ONE” has 74 county records with a year built from 2001–2004, median 2003; sampled residential lots have a 0.14-acre median (74 observations). These assessor samples help compare building eras, but do not establish the first or last home in a subdivision or the permit history of an individual address. 1 additional groups appear in the table below.
The sampled county records include RED FERN DR NW, CARDINAL DR NW, LADY FERN LOOP NW in Unincorporated Thurston County. These are sampled records, not a mapped neighborhood boundary.
Questions to take to a showing
- Which recorded plat, phase and lot does the address belong to?
- Who provides water, sewer, permits and road maintenance at this exact address?
- What do the current governing documents, budget, dues and reserve records require?
