3 Bedrooms Single Family Detached

Perched along the rim of Paradise Valley, this exceptional 3.26-acre estate captures some of North Idaho’s most breathtaking panoramic scenery. Unobstructed 180-degree views stretch across the Kootenai River Valley, the winding Kootenai River, and the rugged Selkirk Mountains to the north, while the majestic Cabinet Mountains create an equally stunning backdrop to the south. The beautifully parked-out double lot offers the perfect balance of open space and privacy, with mature trees surrounding the property while preserving the spectacular views. A fenced orchard and garden provide an incredible opportunity for sustainable living, featuring cherry, apple, and plum trees along with kiwi, grapes, raspberries, blackberries, and rhubarb. Raised garden beds, irrigated drip lines, a greenhouse, and an additional 550-gallon water tank make it easy to grow your own produce throughout the seasons. Designed to bring the outdoors in, the well-built home is filled with natural light thanks to expansive picture windows in nearly every room, perfectly framing the surrounding mountain and valley vistas. The open main living area showcases soaring vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a charming Heartland wood-burning cookstove that adds warmth and character. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features a granite counter center cooktop, cast iron farmhouse sink, and an oversized walk-in pantry. Custom tile work enhances the bathrooms, while solid wood doors and trim reflect the quality craftsmanship found throughout the home. The spacious main-floor primary suite includes a walk-in closet and private ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms, including a non-conforming loft bedroom, also feature generous walk-in closets. A separate family room surrounded by windows on every wall offers another inviting living space and can be closed off with attractive barn doors for added flexibility. Outside, the impressive 24x40 insulated shop is equipped with electricity, a high-clearance door, mezzanine storage, extensive shelving, and abundant workspace for hobbies, equipment, or projects. An additional storage shed provides even more room for tools and outdoor gear. Built with comfort, preparedness, and self-sufficiency in mind, the property is served by both a private drilled well and a community water system, ensuring exceptional water availability. Additional features include a 550-gallon rainwater collection system, whole-house generator wired directly into the home, a cold storage workshop/storage room in the basement, and a cellar tucked beneath the stairwell, ideal for food storage and year-round sustainability. Located in the highly sought-after Paradise Valley area just minutes from Bonners Ferry, this property offers everything that makes North Idaho so desirable: breathtaking views, usable acreage, exceptional craftsmanship, abundant water, and a peaceful setting surrounded by nature.
