Built in 2003 and meticulously updated, this estate offers a harmonious blend of modern sophistication, accessibility, and rugged outdoor beauty.

Whether you seek a private retreat, a family haven, or a versatile property for work and play, this home delivers it all.

A Grand Arrival:

As you approach through the automatic iron gate, a 1,200-foot asphalt driveway, newly paved in 2024, guides you effortlessly to the property. Designed for easy maintenance and snow plowing, the driveway features an extended trailer turnout, ensuring seamless access for vehicles of all sizes. The gate, operable by code or clicker, adds a layer of security and exclusivity to your private oasis. Beyond the gate, the sprawling estate unfolds, revealing meticulously maintained grounds, a 3-zone sprinkler system, and a charming fire pit area in the front yard - the perfect spot for cozy evenings under the stars.

Architectural Elegance Meets Modern Comfort:

Step through the double-door leaded glass entryway, a stunning prelude to the home's grandeur, and into a welcoming foyer with a tray ceiling and gleaming hardwood floors. A second French door adds an extra touch of sophistication, ushering you into a world of refined living. The open-concept interior, with 9' ceilings throughout, exudes warmth and spaciousness, enhanced by Hunter Douglas window coverings that frame breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, a chef's dream designed for both functionality and style. A large center island with a sink, seating for four (stools included), and granite countertops anchors the space, while cherry wood cabinets and a separate pantry provide ample storage. Adjacent, a cozy breakfast nook invites morning coffee with a view, and a formal dining room with a tray ceiling sets the stage for elegant gatherings. For wine enthusiasts, a dedicated wine bar with granite counters and a wine refrigerator adds a touch of indulgence.

The living room, warmed by a gas fireplace, flows seamlessly onto a expansive rear deck crafted with low-maintenance trex decking and sleek glass-panel handrails. Here, you'll find a 3-person spa just steps from the primary bedroom, offering a private retreat for relaxation. A direct propane stub makes outdoor grilling a breeze, perfect for summer barbecues with family and friends.

A Primary Suite Like No Other:

The primary bedroom suite is a sanctuary of luxury, designed for ultimate comfort and serenity. A two-sided gas fireplace creates a cozy ambiance, connecting the bedroom to the spa-inspired ensuite bathroom. Unwind in the jetted tub, refresh in the spacious walk-in shower, or enjoy the convenience of upgraded vessel sinks and granite countertops. A generous walk-in closet provides ample storage, ensuring your personal retreat remains clutter-free. Step directly onto the deck to soak in the hot tub or savor the stunning views that stretch across the property.

Accessibility and Versatility:

This home is thoughtfully designed for accessibility, with zero-step entrances from the 4-car garage to the basement, from the basement to the elevator, and from the elevator to the main floor. The OTIS elevator, paired with wide hallways, ensures seamless mobility throughout the home. The walk-out basement, complete with a full bathroom, additional entry point, and dog kennel, offers endless possibilities - a guest suite, home office, or recreational space. A water softener, sand filter, and central vacuum system add convenience, while a home security system provides peace of mind.

Modern Updates for Effortless Living:

No detail has been overlooked in maintaining this home's pristine condition. In 2018, a new air handler was installed, followed by a comprehensive 2019 exterior overhaul, including a durable metal roof with snow breaks, new gutters, Hardie board siding, rock siding, and a reimagined front entryway. The old deck was removed, and new decking was added to accommodate the hot tub, complete with updated deck stairs. Inside, the laundry room boasts granite countertops, and all appliances - included with the home - are ready for immediate use.

The property's infrastructure is equally impressive. A 500-gallon leased propane tank powers the home's two gas fireplaces and outdoor grill stub, while a well head just 50 feet from the house delivers excellent water quality (well driller's report available). The septic system features both primary and backup drain fields, with a selector switch allowing you to alternate usage for optimal maintenance. Kootenai Electric is currently trenching to bury power lines, and the property's single electric meter supports a 400-amp service, with 200 amps for the house and 100 amps for the shop. The home is wired for a generator (switchgear included), ensuring uninterrupted power - just bring your generator!

A Dream Shop for Work and Play:

For hobbyists, entrepreneurs, or outdoor enthusiasts, the 40x60 shop is a game-changer. Built on a full concrete slab with a 12x60 lean-to, this fully spray-foamed structure boasts 16' walls, four large windows for natural light, and full LED lighting. Two 14' shop doors, each 18' wide, are equipped with commercial-grade openers, making it easy to store boats, RVs, or heavy equipment. With 110v and 220v power throughout, a furnace for year-round comfort, and spare roofing, decking, and siding materials included, this shop is ready for any project. Whether you're a car enthusiast, craftsman, or small business owner, this space offers unmatched versatility.

Outdoor Paradise with Low Maintenance:

The 16.29-acre lot is a haven for nature lovers, with a forestry plan already implemented and a timber exemption that keeps annual taxes remarkably low for a property of this size. The expansive grounds are easily maintained with the 3-zone sprinkler system, and the firepit area invites gatherings with friends and family. The property's thoughtful design, from the asphalt driveway to the backup drainfield, ensures minimal upkeep, leaving you more time to enjoy the serene surroundings.
