The Story

"As featured in Dwell Magazine (June 2026), this award-winning Waechter Architecture residence is one of the most distinctive modern homes in North Idaho -- and it just became significantly more attainable with a new price of $2,190,000. Nestled on 10 private acres in Sandpoint's coveted Selle Valley, this 3,276 SF Scandinavian-inspired masterpiece was completed in 2023 by a European craftsman builder in collaboration with Ben Waechter, FAIA -- whose firm has earned the AIA Northwest Firm Award and the Architectural League of New York's Emerging Voices honor. This is not a spec home. This is architecture with a pedigree. Every surface tells a story: floor and ceiling wood cladding, custom white oak millwork throughout, reclaimed barnwood siding, standing seam metal roof and a sculptural woodstove anchoring the main living space. The chef's kitchen features a generous island and butler's pantry, while the main-level primary suite opens onto a private teak deck with a Sundance soaking tub and Schweitzer Mountain views. The main floor features three additional bedrooms, a full bath, a laundry room, foyer and oversize mudroom, a family room with propane fireplace, and oversize built-in lounge and living / dining room with sweeping views opening onto an expansive teak deck featuring several covered outdoor lounges -- ideal for multi generational living & hosting. Upstairs you'll find a fifth bedroom / self contained guest suite with private bath and walk in closet. Built for resilience and independence: four independent heating systems, Pella aluminum-clad windows, 4-inch exterior insulation for unparalleled comfort in all seasons, 2024 well, 2023 engineered septic, 2,700-gallon cistern, whole-house generator, and whole-house filtration. Nothing deferred. Nothing to do but move in. The 10.02 acres are flat, usable, and completely private -- no HOA, no CCRs. The grounds feature pollinator gardens, a producing fruit orchard, bocce court, insulated workshop, large shop for storing your toys, and oversized 2 cars carport. Schweitzer Mountain is 20 minutes away. Lake Pend Oreille less than 15 minutes away. Opportunities like this -- Dwell-featured, architecturally significant, on acreage, at this price point -- simply do not come along in Sandpoint. Schedule your private showing today.."
