Property Description
A homesteaders dream! This log cabin has the warmth and function you are looking for. The main area of the house is open with much natural light coming in the windows, and a cozy woodburning stove. The kitchen has plenty of cabinet and counter space. The laundry room is on the main floor as well as a master bedroom and a bathroom that has a handicap accessible shower. The upstairs has another master suite and bathroom with an additional space that can be used as an office, library, or whatever else your family needs. The basement is partially finished with an additional non conforming bedroom. This clean and dry basement currently provides food storage, but could also be enhanced into additional living space.
As charming and picturesque as the home is, the part that captures this agent's attention is the lifestyle that has already been created and cultivated here. Five separate pens with electric fencing allow one to breed and birth and house your livestock of choice. Currently these are goats and their guardian livestock Great Pyrenees. The goats are bred and milked to produce a local favorite in goat cheese as well as milk. The cottage industry that is already here could be yours. Two bucks, six milk does, and 2 doelings can be included with this property, as well as the three guardian dogs. The chicken palace houses over 50 egg layers, and there is a separate area where the silkies are busy bringing new baby chicks into the world. A second kitchen is located in the back of the barn/garage as well as a separate milking station.
The exterior of the property includes concord grape vines, apple and plum trees, raspberry bushes, as well as landscape that was designed to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. The front lawn has recently been seeded with grass. There is also logs on the property ready to be chopped and split into firewood.
In the past two years, many improvements have been made to the property, including new lvp flooring in the home, composite decking for durability, and electric fencing to protect livestock. Electricity has been run to the large shop, and a spacious one car garage/shop with kitchen has been constructed. Seller has also installed a generator with a 500 gallon diesel tank that can power the entire property.
This is truly a north Idaho gem. Whether you are looking to run a hobby farm or a self sustaining homestead, this property has it all.
