Description
Tucked in the tall evergreens near Blackfoot Reservoir, this fully furnished custom-built log home, the Coeur d' Alene, with tongue and groove construction, offers a turnkey high-country retreat or year-round residence. With handcrafted solid wood Amish furniture throughout, this beautifully appointed, 3466 +- square foot, five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath cabin built in 2014 currently sits on eighty acres with a detached garage and shop. Overhead power was pulled to the property this fall, replacing the off-the-grid capability, and a Smart Meter was installed outside the deep bay workshop to allow the solar panels to backfeed the grid. This could provide credits on your electricity bill. The landowner will split off this homestead of approximately thirty-four acres of ground west of Government Dam Road prior to closing.
The open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and natural light streaming in through the many expansive windows creates a welcoming glow against the warm wood beams and beautiful, rough-cut finish walnut hardwood flooring throughout. In the fall, the lush evergreen carpeted ridge is particularly vibrant against the golden leaves and white trunks of the aspens. Painted kitchen cabinets and coordinating backsplash provide a fresh, contemporary vibe, and the decorative ceiling logs are the perfect accent to meld the two. Boasting Mountain Land KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, a gourmet Wolf range, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator freezer, thick granite countertops with rough edge finish, and backsplash throughout the home. Slate tub and shower surrounds are complemented by slate and stone flooring in the bathrooms and carpet in the upstairs bedrooms. The master bath subfloor is heated for added comfort. At the end of the day, enjoy a nice, relaxing soak in the clawfoot tub and curl up by one of the wood-burning fireplaces with a good book.
The 54' x 34' deep bay workshop with two RV doors provides plenty of room to park and store your vehicles, RV, boat, and ATVs, and work on projects at your leisure, and the asphalt driveway offers ample parking to accommodate your guests' vehicles. A 65 amp electric car charging outlet was recently installed in the workshop for your convenience. Two efficient and reinforced stone wood-burning fireplaces are focal points and poised for heavy mounts to be hung securely. Abundant firewood is stacked inside the shop and at your disposal.
Experience the serenity of the outdoors year-round on the covered decks and fireside pavilion picnic area. The main level covered front porch is the full length of the cabin and provides two separate entrances and ample space for greeting guests and seating. The covered deck off the kitchen is plumbed for propane and equipped with a Weber grill and Traeger smoker. Enjoy a little peace and possibly wildlife viewing on the master bedroom deck. A 110-volt hot tub and outdoor furniture await on the upper-level covered deck off the family room. Relax to the gentle sounds of the wind chimes and the aspen leaves rustling in the breeze. Enjoy the expansive views of the adjacent farmland and relish in the fresh mountain air. The stars in the night sky seem to shine especially bright. Enjoy stargazing without all of the light pollution of the city.
This is an outdoor recreation enthusiast's paradise. Blackfoot and Alexander Reservoirs offer motorized and non-motorized boating, swimming, fishing, ice fishing, and bird watching opportunities. Blackfoot Reservoir is the second largest reservoir in southeastern Idaho, covering 18,000 surface acres when full, and offers a campground and boat ramp managed by the Bureau of Land Management, and is known for an abundance of wildlife. With state land, BLM ground, and Caribou National Forest close by, there are hundreds of miles of dirt roads and trails to explore, including horseback riding, hiking, backpacking, camping, mountain biking, cruising in ATVs, wildlife viewing, and big game and upland game hunting. Winter access to the public land requires a snow machine, which opens the door to a magical winter wonderland adventure, snowmobiling, fat tire biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. Float, fish, or swim along the Bear River and Portneuf River, or enjoy a relaxing soak in the Lava Hot Springs mineral pools and return to warm up by the fireplace or fire pit, and enjoy wildlife viewing from the privacy of your own backyard. Elk migration is heavy in this area, and mule deer and moose are also plentiful. There is a game water trough just south of the cabin that replenishes them.
Fun fact: the landowners have found evidence of Native American Indians on this property in the form of arrowheads and potential washing basins in the rock. Imagine the potential discoveries you and your family may experience. This turnkey log cabin could be the recreational homestead opportunity you've been waiting for.
