928 French Point Dr, Bonners Ferry, ID 83805

Do you crave privacy & a million-dollar view? Then look no further. Private, end of the road, cul-de-sac with the home not viewable from the street. This house has, arguably, the best view in the entire county. Nestled on a ridge overlooking the Kootenai River & the mountains, you can watch the eagles soar at eye level from the wall of windows in the living room or the wraparound composite deck on 3 sides of the home. With the pie-shaped lot, you have 270° views east towards Montana & south and west towards Schweitzer and Bonners Ferry. It's simply breathtaking. When the county assessor came out ten years ago, he commented that he'd been to every property in Boundary County & our home had the best view. It truly is stunning... The home sits on 8.05 acres and has two master bedroom suites on opposite ends of the main level (14x14 and 13x17), each with a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom (8x10 and 8x13) with a jacuzzi tub and separate shower stall, one with an 8x10 side sitting area with a door to a private deck. The large kitchen (12x14 plus 6x6 hall and cabinets) features custom wood cabinets, pullout shelves, a Silestone countertop, stainless appliances with gas stove/oven. The open floor plan of the main level has vaulted T&G ceilings with an entire wall of picture windows looking out at the mountains and river valley below. A gas fireplace and built-in bookcase are also featured. There is also a side entrance to the 10x10 mudroom/laundry room just off of the kitchen (could also be used as a small office) as well as a half bath. Downstairs in the full walk-out lower level, you'll find two additional bedrooms (9x12 and 11x12) (one with a walk-in closet), a full bathroom, and a spacious 20x25 living area complete with gas fireplace. There is also a 7x11 mechanical room/workshop. This level has a 9x16 wood deck off the living area to sit and view the stunning mountain and river views. This level also has its own washer/dryer hookups, and you could easily add a small efficiency kitchen. The separate entrance can be perfect for a blended family situation, teenagers, or live-in help. There is also a roughed-in room for an indoor sauna. There is a driveway down to the lower level, and you could park a car right outside the lower-level entrance (not visible from the front). Hydronic heating was installed in 2008. To keep your maintenance costs and time down, the home has a metal roof and hardy plank siding. Windows are solid wood with double-pane glass. A total of eight entrance doors, all steel; the two main doors (front and side entry by kitchen) feature leaded glass, while all other doors have enclosed blinds. Landscaping is a combination of annuals and perennials with beautiful rock borders, although a large part of the property has native landscaping with many wildflowers in the spring and early summer. The front yard has 2,000' of Kentucky bluegrass newly laid. There is a small fenced garden area as well as an apple tree and an almond tree. Completing the property is a detached two-car garage. It's about a 45-minute drive to Sandpoint all on county-maintained roads. You only have two traffic lights and it's a beautiful drive. If you're from a big city, this is no different from driving across town -- except it's a nicer drive with less traffic. Make the drive and save yourself a lot of money. If this house were in Sandpoint, it would be a lot more expensive. There are CCRs for the subdivision; no livestock is permitted (although I've never known them to be enforced!). The home is in the Three Mile Water District. Please note that all measurements are estimates. Possible owner financing to qualified buyers with a minimum of 20% down. Shown by appointment only.
