One of the last remaining original homesteads of the Finnish Settlement of Cabinet, Idaho, this extraordinary historic log home has truly stood the test of time. Constructed by the original Finnish homesteader from hand-hewn Tamarack logs, the craftsmanship is nothing short of remarkable. Exquisite brickwork, tongue-and-groove ceilings, fine metal log brackets, and a striking spiral staircase showcase the artistry and pride poured into its creation. Inside, the home offers an open kitchen, spacious dining room, cozy wood-burning fireplace, vaulted loft ceilings, and an enclosed sunroom that opens to a flagstone patio. From the wraparound deck, take in sweeping views over historic barns, open pasture, and natural springs, all set against thousands of acres of public land. The landscape is breathtaking in every season, from the fruit-tree-lined driveway and dramatic mountain backdrop to morning mist rising gently from the fields. With minimal light pollution and wide-open skies, evenings here become a stargazer’s dream, where the Milky Way stretches brilliantly overhead and the only sounds are the quiet rhythms of nature. Nominated for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, this iconic property offers a rare opportunity to carry forward a meaningful piece of Idaho history. Modern additions ensure comfort without compromising character, including a large 4+ car carport with attached studio/workshop, established garden and garden shed, and fiber internet. Deer, elk, moose, and bear regularly roam the land, making this a nature lover’s dream and a true sportsman’s retreat. Plant your crops, raise your animals, and embrace a slower pace of life surrounded by extraordinary beauty. Properties like this are not recreated - they are preserved, stewarded, and passed on. This is more than a home - it is a legacy.
