Property Description
Where Wilderness meets Legacy: 52.8 acres across three lots, adjacent to 3 million acres of Frank Church Wilderness. The hand-hewn 4 Bd/4 Ba log home, a scale of craftsmanship that could never be built again, frames epic Sawtooth views from every angle. A 2-car garage/barn and guesthouse, a yurt for stargazing nights, and a stocked trout pond complete this rare Idaho sanctuary. Set on 52.8 private acres across three lots, this exceptional property backs directly to three million acres of the Frank Church and Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness -- a rare offering of scale, privacy, and untouched natural beauty. The custom-built main home is constructed from massive hand-hewn logs, a level of craftsmanship that could not be replicated in today's building environment. Epic views of the Sawtooth Mountains unfold from the home, which features radiant heat throughout the ground floor, electric heat upstairs, an extra-large pantry for food storage, and durable Trex decks and balconies. Two extra large hot water heaters serve each side of the house. A 2-car garage/barn and guesthouse includes a 750-square-foot caretaker apartment with kitchenette and wood stove above, plus a second laundry center with washer, dryer, and ironing station. A 200-square-foot yurt offers a unique retreat, complete with electricity, water, a large double bunk bed, and an outdoor shower. A separate large workshop and storage shed provides additional space for equipment and projects. The property is exceptionally self-sufficient, with two private wells (65 gpm and 25 gpm), two fireplaces (wood and gas), a 10 KW propane generator with a 250-gallon in-ground tank, and an extensive in-ground irrigation system for the trees and shrubs. A picturesque one-acre pond, stocked with native cutthroat trout, includes a dry hydrant capable of pumping 600 gallons per minute. All roofs on the home, garage, and shed are steel shingle -- durable, and low-maintenance. Large sprinkler system around most of the house and barn. The home is equipped as well with a monitored alarm system for added peace of mind. Sold partially furnished. CC&Rs protect against inappropriate development on adjacent lands, preserving the property's privacy and wilderness character for years to come. A truly rare offering -- where craftsmanship, self-sufficiency, and boundless wilderness converge.
