Price Reduction — This exceptional Northern Idaho homestead is officially ready for its next owner. Set on 10 private acres and perched 1,100 vertical feet above the valley floor, this off-grid retreat borders U.S. National Forest and offers unmatched security, privacy, and panoramic views. The property sits 2.5 miles up a winding dead-end private road and just 4.5 miles from Highway 95, providing ideal separation while maintaining access to town. The 1,344 sq ft cabin is thoughtfully designed for year-round living. The main level features a mud room with secure entry, a spacious kitchen with propane range/oven, vintage wood-fired cook stove, and a large pantry. The dining and family room open to a covered deck overlooking McArthur Lake Wildlife Sanctuary, with views stretching north to Bonners Ferry and south toward Sandpoint and Lake Pend Oreille. Upstairs includes a primary bedroom, guest space, and two full bathrooms (one nearing completion). Hot water is supplied by an on-demand propane system. Power comes from a solar-battery array with generator backup, and the drilled well produces an impressive 50+ gallons per minute. Additional improvements include a shop/garage for off-road vehicles and ample storage throughout the cabin for tools, gear, and preparedness supplies. The southern exposure is ideal for large-scale food production — greenhouses, walipinis, raised beds, and more. Wildlife is abundant: elk, deer, bear, moose, mountain lion, turkey, and others frequent the property. Whether you’re seeking a secure full-time homestead or a strategic off-grid retreat, this mountainside property offers rare capability, privacy, and natural beauty.
