LandThe mountain home fits perfectly in this stunning natural setting. The expansive 80 rolling acres is wooded and has the west fork of the Weiser River meandering through it. These natural features make it a haven for wildlife such as deer or elk. The property is also flanked by public lands providing even more privacy.

In addition to the home, there are multiple outbuildings on the property. Next to the home is a 1 car detached garage with a workshop. This building contains 2 wood-burning stoves, power, and a sink so it is a great space for working on projects. The garage also has an attached carport which accommodates 2 more vehicles. For the horse lover, there is a log barn with a tack room and a corral. Near the barn is a small pump house that houses the well. Another 3 bay carport exists by the barn that is ideal for storing equipment or recreational vehicles.
The beautiful views of the river can either be enjoyed from the covered deck or at the riverside fire pit. Surrounding the home is a park-like yard that has been beautifully landscaped and is irrigated by an automatic sprinkler system. One noteworthy landscape feature in particular, is the paver pathway that leads from the house to the river. There is also a bridge on the property that crosses the river.

ImprovementsThe extraordinary residence was originally built in 1996 and was remodeled in 2014 with an almost 1700 square feet addition. Log accents and custom rustic features are displayed throughout the cabin mirroring the natural environment surrounding the home. These features include log timbers, tongue & groove ceiling, hardwood floors, log railings, and custom rustic lighting fixtures.
One of the focal points of the home is the impressive main living space. With its open design layout, this space is ideal for entertaining and consists of a great room, dining room, and kitchen. The great room highlights vaulted ceilings, a wood stove, and an open second-story loft. Adjoining the great room is the dining room which exhibits a custom antler chandelier and large windows displaying the beautiful mountain scenery. You can access the outdoor covered deck from the dining room as well. The inviting kitchen highlights granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and track lighting.
The mountain cabin would make an ideal vacation rental, bed and breakfast, or corporate retreat. It can easily accommodate large groups with 5 bedrooms, a bonus room that could be converted into a 6th bedroom, and 4.5 bathrooms. Another perk to the design is that three of the bedrooms have private bathroom ensuites. One of the relaxing main level master bedrooms features vaulted ceilings, a built-in big-screen television stand, a walk-in closet, a built-in iron tub, and private outdoor access. The newly added master bedroom suite is the most luxurious of the bedrooms. The unique characteristics of this suite include its own private deck, vaulted ceilings, a custom decorative iron chandelier, the dual bathroom vanities with marble counters, the garden tub, walk-in shower, and slate tiles. The third bedroom with its own bathroom is located in the loft overlooking the great room. The two guest bedrooms are also part of the new addition and are tucked away downstairs in the daylight basement.
Other rooms in the home include two laundry rooms, the butler’s pantry with built-in wine storage, and the recreation room. The charming rustic design features you see inside the home are also witnessed on the exterior. These include the rock wainscoting and the log siding.
All of the furnishings, recreational equipment, and farm equipment are included with the property, making it a completely turnkey asset for the new owner.

RecreationThis area is considered the gateway to recreation in Central Idaho providing access to the Payette National Forest, the Seven Devils Mountain range, and a plethora of outdoor recreational opportunities. Some of the outdoor adventures residents and visitors enjoy include fishing, hunting, skiing, snowmobiling, camping, and hiking. In particular, many appreciate the strolling or biking along the Weiser River Trail, which is an 84-mile-long public recreational trail formed along the old Pacific and Idaho Northern railroad grade. This trail follows the Weiser River, provides access to thousands of acres of public lands, and is a great place to spot big game, waterfowl, and other wildlife. Another hotspot in the region is Lost Valley Reservoir, which is a public recreational site that offers camping, canoeing, and fishing experiences.
