115 Lehigh Ave, Metaline Falls, WA 99153

Dream home. Vacation home. Investment. Retreat. Airbnb. Finish and flip. Retirement. All of the above. Please note that this home has already undergone a significant redesign and re-engineering process. Also note that when listed, Zillow set the value at $297k. Amazing location and view! Most NE town in Washington State, on the HOT and DRY side of the Cascade Mountains. 7 hours from Seattle, 12 miles from Canada, and about 18 from Idaho. Most of the Kevin Costner film 'The Postman' was filmed here. Watch it and you'll fall in love with the Metaline Falls area! No HOA!! Enjoy your freedom. City/county utilities to the property line. This project is one of several we have which was stalled due to COVID and unheard-of lumber prices. Should bring $500k+ when completed. We'd live here if it was closer to the Spokane airport, which we must access most every week. An extreme advantage here is that current building codes won't allow a new home to be built this close to the river bank or property lines, maximizing the view! Will be 1700-1800 s.f. when completed under our current plan, or 2400+ if we connect a garage and living area up front. As planned now, it should be a 3 BR plus office and 'storage loft', and 2.5 baths when completed. Super fun project! Make it your own. Kitchen, den, and master bedroom will have full views of the Pend O'Reille River and Sullivan Creek below. A spirited trail leads down to the river for full access. Located where Sullivan Creek (a river) meets the Pend O'Reille River which flows from Idaho before heading north to Canada. Sometimes it's like a lake below the home, and sometimes it's sand bars, depending on the water release of Boundary Dam below, and it will change in less than a day, each day. See photos. The county auditor currently lists the home at 1399 s.f., not including the attached rear shed which will be expanded and converted to a bedroom or rec-room. This home started in the early 1900's as a 400 sq. ft. miner's abode, and now sports 3-4 additions, the last in 1983, all completed before the introduction of building codes. Some of the lowest electric utility rates in the nation, supplied by the county-owned Box Canyon Dam upstream. Water and power to the property (not currently connected), sewer currently hooked up. House needs updated wiring and plumbing. The town has local shopping, restaurants, and Post Office, and has a population of around 250. Main employers have been mining and Seattle City Light at the Boundary Dam. Surrounded on the rear by tall cedar and pine trees for excellent privacy; it's all about the outdoors. Room for a planned huge deck out back. The river is around 100' below the home. We also own the green home next door and have considered turning it all into a lodge-style Airbnb. We can supply power and water from that home while you build or visit, if need be. No realtors needed, other than to bring your clients! Fee negotiable. Not interested in a lease. Cash. Owner contract will be considered.
