The Story

"A once-in-a-generation legacy estate, this extraordinary property presents one of North Idaho's rarest ownership opportunities. Encompassing nearly 8 pristine acres across 4 separate legal parcels, this private riverfront retreat offers an unparalleled sense of seclusion while sitting just 5 minutes from the vibrant shops, dining, marina, and amenities of downtown Sandpoint--a location perfectly positioned between Rocky Point and Dover that is virtually impossible to replicate. At the heart of this multi-parcel offering is a prime, buildable waterfront envelope boasting 183 feet of coveted Pend Oreille River shoreline, complete with a private sandy beach and dock. This site presents the rare opportunity to build your ultimate custom dream residence directly on the water, serving as the crown jewel that completes your private family compound for generations to come. While planning your future dream home, you can immediately live in and enjoy the property's existing, impeccably designed 1,786-square-foot main residence. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this turn-key home captures picturesque river views, offers seamless indoor-outdoor living, and is perfectly positioned to transition into a luxury guest home, caretaker residence, or secondary house once your primary estate is built. Just steps away along the shoreline, the beachfront cabana provides fully equipped additional living quarters that create an ideal guest retreat or entertaining pavilion. The cabana features a covered patio with panoramic river views, a dramatic outdoor fireplace, and its own private storage garage, offering an unmatched setting for summer evenings by the water. The manicured grounds rival those of a private luxury resort, featuring a gated entrance, paved driveway, winding private trails, and lush lawn areas with integrated landscape lighting and permitted lake-fed irrigation systems. Active recreation is built right into the property with a full pickleball and basketball court, endless private space to explore, and a level of privacy rarely found so close to town. For equipment and hobbies, a fully finished 5+-car detached shop/garage with an oversized lean-to provides abundant room for boats, RVs, and recreational toys. Complete with whole-property generator backup, radiant heating, and extensive smart home security features, this irreplaceable North Idaho property offers an extraordinary combination of acreage, four legal parcels, prime river frontage, and unlimited future potential."
