Property Description
Properties like this are nearly impossible to replicate and rarely come to market. With roots tied to an original 1899 homestead, this property has remained remarkably intact as the area around it evolved, preserving rare space, privacy, and the opportunity to live and work in one setting just outside city limits. While the property's roots run deep, what unfolds today feels anything but ordinary. Original hardwood floors, uncovered shiplap, and reclaimed barnwood accents honor the home's history while a recently added great room introduces a whole new sense of scale without losing the character that came before it. A 50'x44' shop and full RV hookup hint that this property was built for someone who valued space, freedom, and a few great toys. Then the story shifts again. A Ducks Unlimited designed pond anchors the pasture before the property leads you into the trees, where a private solar powered cabin, the sounds of a nearby creek, and the Pend Oreille River
