A rare opportunity to own nearly 7 acres of complete privacy just minutes from town--where panoramic views of Lake Pend Oreille and the Cabinet Mountains take center stage. Perched on a quiet, county-maintained road only 1.5 miles from Sandpoint city limits, this exceptional North Idaho retreat offers a setting that feels worlds away without sacrificing convenience. Built in 2021, the thoughtfully designed single-level home features 2,447 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an open-concept layout highlighted by timber-frame accents, a cathedral ceiling, and a wood stove set within a striking natural-rock inglenook surround. The kitchen is equally impressive with a 10' island, Thermador appliances, and custom cabinetry, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Outdoor living is just as intentional, with a covered timberframe deck and screened porch perfectly positioned to take in the views and surrounding landscape. The property also features mature landscaping, a fenced garden with raised beds and fruit trees, irrigation, and open pasture areas--offering space and flexibility without sacrificing comfort or ease. A standout feature is the 30' x 40' fully finished shop with loft, offering RV access, full bath with laundry, kitchenette, and extensive workspace--ideal for hobbies, storage, or additional flexibility. Suburban zoning adds to the appeal, allowing for the potential to build a second residence on the property if desired. Located just minutes from downtown Sandpoint and in close proximity to Schweitzer Mountain Resort, Pine Street Woods, Mickinnick Trail, and endless year-round recreation, this property delivers the ultimate North Idaho lifestyle--privacy, views, and access to it all.
