Property Description

An extraordinary Caribou Creek log estate perched above the Kootenai River Valley—off-grid, handcrafted, and built for generations. Perched on a granite bluff with commanding 360° views of the Kootenai River Valley, this handcrafted Caribou Creek log home is more than a residence—it’s a self-sustaining sanctuary. Set on 28 private acres bordering U.S. Forest Service land, the property blends rustic elegance with modern innovation. Designed for complete off-grid independence, it features dual solar arrays, a wind turbine, propane generators, and a powerful battery bank—all supported by a sophisticated control and monitoring system. Inside the 3-bedroom, 4-bath main home, you’ll find timeless craftsmanship: hand- scribed logs, a soaring stone fireplace, a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a full-size elevator serving all three levels—including the stunning “eagle’s nest” with panoramic windows in every direction. A separate 960 sq ft guest cabin offers complete privacy with its own inverter, battery bank, propane generator, and tankless water heater. The property also includes a 40x60 heated shop with loft storage, a bunkhouse, covered wood storage, and extensive infrastructure built to support self-reliance and long-term living. This is North Idaho at its finest— raw beauty, refined living, and the freedom to live on your own terms.
