Just be mindful that you can't 1031 a personal residence but it might be eligible for capital gain exclusion from section 121.

Your net gain is your net sale, minus your adjust cost basis.

Is there any creative way to avoid/reduce capital gains tax on the sale ?

It is my understanding that the new owner will have the house at the cost basis of my purchase price, for calculating capital gains taxes or depreciation.For gift tax purposes for you - FMV.For capital gain tax purposes for the recipient - your original basis/purchase price 

Or what are other tips to start gaining traction from the beginning? 

I have a followup question - I will realize a lot of capital gain from this home in Idaho, so I think unless I purchase a new primary residence I will have to pay that capital gains tax. 

What would the capital gains be on the sale of each lot? 

I would sell and take your gains.

Make sure this enough gains to make it worth worrying about.

@Andrew Slezak Opportunity Zone (OZ) investing allows you to defer capital gains taxes (e.g., from crypto) by reinvesting the gains into a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) within 180 days.
