THIS LUXURY WILDERNESS ESTATE IS KEPT IN LIKE NEW CONDITION AND SITED IN A RUGGEDLY SPECTACULAR, MOUNTAINOUS REGION OF WILD STREAMS, NATURAL LAKES AND CRAGGY PEAKS.

Well hidden away from tourism, and the frenetic pace of urban living, the modern, ruggedly luxurious estate is sited on the Western slope of the world famous, Crown of the Continent Eco System which includes the USA's Glacier National Park, 2.5 hours to the southeast. World famous, Pend O'Reille Lake, is but 30-35 minutes southwest where one finds floating restaurants, art galleries, golf courses and beautiful resorts.

Private jets can land in nearby Sandpoint and in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho.  Seaplanes and helicopters can land at the estate's seaplane/boat dock or on the 36' helipad in the front yard respectively. The elevation of the estate is 2,450 feet. The immediate mountains are 6000' to almost 10,000 feet [-2000m--3333m m/l-] elevation.

The site is contiguous on 3 sides so one can simply step onto a permanent, Montana Fish & Wildlife, 2000 acre, Wildlife Management System (WMS) which serves as a heavily timbered corridor to the nearby, U.S. Congressionally mandated, 94,000 acre Cabinet Mountain Wilderness. A grand total of 96,000, hikable, huntable, fishable and useable acres of heavily timbered mountainous lands immediately touch 3 sides of the estate in perpetuity. And there's a designated rain forest called, the Ross Creek Cedars, 10-12 minutes from the estate, all of the nearby, wilderness beauty being part of the uniquely beautiful, Kootenai National Forest Region.

This spectacular, view-property, with underground, commercial power, is also near 133 hikeable, rugged, mountain lakes in literally millions of unspoiled, VERY LOW USE, acres, near numerous streams filled with game fish of many species. Outdoor activities are truly unlimited. The main, lodge-like, 3 bedroom/3 bath residence, solidly constructed of custom designed, highly detailed woods, natural stone and vast expanses of low-e, insulated glass is just under 4000 square feet in size.  This is a modified, low rise, three level [not 3 story] home with an intersecting, 800 sq' [m/l] library wing midway to one side. The home has a massive Great Room w/full Bath, joined by a short rise stairway up from the 3 Bedrooms plus Solarium lawn/stone bermed, first level. A privately sited, nearby guesthouse is approximately 1400 square feet and has 2 bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms and a den. This energy efficient, low-e rated, guesthouse enjoys `spectacular` lake and mountain views as well. Both residences have oversized, detached garages and there is a 500 square foot, open air, BBQ/Big Game, Mountain and Lake, Viewing Pavilion above the homes. The latter is for enjoying the incredible views and wildlife that this, `Last Best Place` provides. There are NO comps.

Many visitors to the estate have commented, `Its magically sooooo Big Sky Montana`, and rightfully so, as the vast, contiguous, hikable, 'Big Sky', mountainous, heavily timbered wild lands are filled with Partridge, Grouse, Ducks, Big Horn Sheep, Mountain Goats, Elk, Deer, Moose, Cougars, Bears, Timber Wolves, Swans, Geese, Loons, Wild Turkeys, Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, Ravens, Lynx, Foxes, Coyotes, Muskrats, Beavers, Snowshoe Rabbits, Otters and Peregrine Falcons; all who also call the immediate area their home.

This extremely safe, secure, 7.58 Acre, gated estate can continue as a ruggedly beautiful, private retreat/family compound, like now. Yet, there's lots of room for a higher end, year around, resort operation [-easily permitted-] having numerous, individual, small, log cabins and perhaps a huge lodge for guests if that was desired by a new owner. The air is pure and the unlimited, icy-pure well water, from two, deep water wells, is wonderful. The estate enjoys it's own, mild, microclimate with mostly sun filled days and crystal clear, star filled nights, year-around.
