10205 Benewah Creek Rd, Saint Maries, ID 83861

A picturesque diamond in the rough Gem of a property in Northern Idaho. Surrounded by large properties and protected lands, these four acres includes a 60x60 pole building with a 1700 square foot house built within. The property also includes a hill-top building site with water, electricity and septic already established. A seasonal creek rambles through the area. Originally built in 2006 as a pole barn the shop/house combination evolved over time into a two bedroom one bath with two living areas, laundry and kitchen and a 30x50 shop with slab flooring. Primarily made with pine and cedar, the house feels rustic and rural. A 12-month green thumb is possible with the 14x14x19 ft. greenhouse constructed out of double pane glass panels and wood. The greenhouse may be heated with propane and electricity. In addition there is a wood shed, (wood stove in the shop does a great job heating the entire place which is extremely well insulated), a utility/smoke house, and a well house. From this home you can see many different types of wildlife. Elk, moose, whitetail deer, porcupines, squirrels, grouse, quail are just a few of the frequent visitors out and about the place. In the spring, duck, Canadian geese and various other fowl frequent the small ponds within the creek bed 500/600 yards across the meadow. We watched a variety of predators descend on a deer kill just over the fence. After the coyotes feasted, a golden and an American Bald Eagle, two large crows, smaller birds and finally two turkey buzzards. Like San Juan Capistrano, the swallows return to their homes in nests provided. (Insect control by nature) For those looking for privacy, rural living (in comfort) with many possibilities, you may have found your answer!
