Description

One owner! Serene private setting situated in the heart of the pastoral Selle Valley on 9.59 forested level acres with views of the mountains. The 9.59 acres includes a home, full-service RV site, cabin site with power, wood shed, barn and large 25-by-37-foot S-series Quonset hut/shop with concrete floor. Single-level, three-bedroom, two-bathrooms that have been completely guided by a professional interior designer. It features specialty tile and metal works; custom paint jobs in every room; beautiful natural wood and slate flooring and artisan touches throughout. Inside the home is the spacious great room with 10-foot ceilings and natural white pine wainscoting that features an open concept living room, dining, kitchen and office area. The master suite with custom-tiled slate and mother-of-pearl bathroom that features a large, double-sided cast iron tub. The main bathroom has loads of storage space with two sets of large pantries as well as room for large capacity stackable washer/ dryer. The shower is custom with welded steel, specially treated corrugated metal sides, a geometric designed slate floor, and a unique vintage can for the shower head. The granite countertop sits atop a custom-painted, bronze metallic vanity accented by the matching medicine cabinet and handmade forged steel lighting. The kitchen is a fabulous chef's delight with concrete countertops, island with seating for four and a dining area with room for six. The copper penny backsplash is truly a piece of artwork to be treasured. For horse owners, the pole barn comfortably holds a wagonload of hay plus more, in addition to having a covered space for horses, all attached to a three-strand electric fence surrounding about three-quarters of an acre. A separate 60-foot, wooden round pen is suitable for working horses on soft arena sand. Amenities include an outdoor hot tub; horseshoe pits, an outdoor shower, sink, and rustic hand-built outhouse. Enjoy this magical property with large, mature trees, open views across hayfields and to the mountains beyond and unparalleled privacy, as the county road and other neighbors are not within sight from the house, RV site, and cabin site (w/installed power). The RV site and cabin site are accessed by a separate driveway which adds to the privacy of the house. Surrounding the home are several perennial flower gardens, a hops trellis around a paver patio, an acid-stained and stamped concrete deck. Registered under the Idaho Forest Stewardship plan, the property has been carefully managed for 30-plus years and includes a beautifully developed walking trail with meandering through the forest and across two wooden bridges. Located just 9 miles from downtown Sandpoint just a short drive to shopping, dining, Lake Pend Oreille, Forest Service lands, and Schweitzer Ski Resort. The hot tub is close to the house nestled in the cedar grove that is the centerpiece of the property. It also features a concrete and steel fire pit. The RV site has 50-amp service and hookups along with its own brick-pebble-and steel fire pit and a beautiful fence panel wall to separate it from the cabin site. Easy access from a county road, set back 660 feet. This one-of-a-kind, curated property is ideally suited for enjoying the North Idaho lifestyle!
