Escape to this awe-inspiring 10 acre off-grid homestead! Featuring craftsman-built log cabin, 30 GPM well, and naturally sub-irrigated pasture/garden area. Graveled driveway, multiple building sites, and 1750 gal underground cistern plumbed to both benches means most of the hard work is done. Situated at the edge of the valley, you will enjoy expansive views of the wild and rugged Selkirk Mtns Bonners Ferry to Canada, and easy access from county maintained roads. Well was drilled in 2023 and is only 80ft deep with the best water you've ever tasted. The pump is ready for solar or 120V generator power. The cistern gravity feeds the log cabin and (4) frost-free faucets. The upper bench is accessible from the main entrance, inside the property. Build your main residence or a shop with more breathtaking views. The log cabin is 360 sq ft, custom built-in Heron, MT, and furnished as illustrated in the photos. The French doors and numerous large, double-paned windows floor the interior with a natural light and offers excellent ventilation to enjoy those summer evening breezes. A Jotul Model 118B wood-burning stove provides warmth and comfort on those snowy winter nights. Enjoy meals with family or friends with a view in the intimate dining room space. Above you will see the timber framed loft where a window brings the natural outside beauty in. The loft can be used as a guest or kids bedroom, for storage, or as a cozy hangout space. The kitchen is equipped with a large hammered-finish copper sink. The bathroom has an Inconolet toilet. Imagine relaxing in a slip tub, and a gorgeous view framed by the rustic finished log walls. The cozy bedroom is decorated with a tongue and groove ceiling, and dual-pane windows for fresh air and stargazing at night. Quality custom log finishes and intricate woodworking is exhibited by the craftsmanship throughout this well-loved retreat. The covered porch provides amazing views of the valley. Watch local wildlife passing through: chipmunks, black bear, deer, elk, grouse, hummingbirds, moose, squirrels, turkeys, hawks, eagles, and much more. A short distance away from the log cabin is a smaller 256 sqft, insulated, dry guest cottage for your friends and family, or use it as an office or playroom (and it's portable!). This property can be lived on year-round. Bring your generator, install solar/wind power, or develop it further with electricity (1/4 mile away), and a septic system should you desire. Enjoy all the outdoor activities North Idaho has to offer: Copeland boat ramp on the Kootenai River is 3 miles away, explore by ATV, Snowmobile, and dirt bike, mountain bike the trails at Brush Lake, fish the river and nearby lakes, find hidden swimming holes on Smith Creek, and the hiking opportunities are endless... Do not miss this ultimate stunning sanctuary because it is truly an extraordinarily inspiring off-grid mountain retreat. Potential for AirBNB, small-scale farm, livestock, self-sufficient homestead, the possibilities are endless! Close to wine country in Creston, Canada. Ideally, located 20 scenic miles from the heart of downtown Bonners Ferry. The spectacular vistas of the forest and mountains are waiting for you. Settle into your new country home. Shown by appointment only. Schedule a Private Showing
