2150sf craftsman nestled on a serene, private, and low-maintenance half-acre with gorgeous views of Ellisport Bay, Lake Pend Oreille, the surrounding mountains, starry nights, and occasional views of the Northern Lights (photos don't do the views justice). Built in 2008, this very well maintained and significantly improved upon turnkey property offers a 1700sf 3-bed/2-bath main home with large carport, 450sf 1-bed/1-bath ADU, fully finished 3-vehicle garage/shop, pad for two large boats/RVs/motorcoaches with full hookup, and no HOA. Previous photos can be seen on such sites as Homes.com ~ and realtors welcome. The oversized garage/shop is one of the nicest you'll find - fully insulated, climate controlled, 11ft ceiling, 9ft-tall door, very well lit plus good natural light, Penntek-coated floor, and ample shelving/storage. Above, the ADU shines as a very comfortable in-law suite/office/AirBnB with its own redwood deck, parking spaces, and panoramic view. Recreational enthusiasts will love the immediate access to vast outdoors and proximity to hiking/mountain-bike/cross-country ski trails, beaches, marinas, boat/kayak/canoe launches, and campgrounds. This peaceful oasis has no train horns, is surrounded by forest and wildlife, yet conveniently located 10min to Clark Fork, 20min to Ponderay, 40min to Schweitzer, and with county-maintained paved roads for reliable and easy winter access. High-speed fiber internet connected to property, and cell service is good. Property upgrades include energy-efficient mini-split heating/AC in both the main home and garage/ADU, redundant heat sources, whole-property standby generator, conditioned-air crawlspace (transformative), and updated electrical and low-voltage throughout. Optional turnkey features can include furnishings, yard machines and tools, commercial snow blower, the two ladders needed, home-theater/audio packages, smokeless firepits, telescopes, and possibly some recreational equipment. With property taxes of just $1900/yr, and top-tier full-coverage homeowner's insurance of just $1300/yr, this very well cared for and easy-to-maintain retreat offers unmatched comfort, convenience, and opportunity in the heart of north Idaho’s beauty.
