6.7 Acres with Selkirk
Mountain Views

A Self-Sufficient Retreat
in North Idaho

Nestled in the Samuels area just outside Sandpoint, this property offers the rare combination of seclusion, self-sufficiency, and accessibility. Just three-quarters of a mile off a paved county road and 20 minutes from downtown Sandpoint, you get genuine privacy without the tradeoffs of true backcountry living. Wake up to sweeping views of the Selkirk Range and Schweitzer Mountain, then step outside onto your own private trail system winding through 6.7 acres of North Idaho landscape.

The home features vaulted ceilings with an interior walkway, a dedicated office, and significant expansion potential. Beyond the house, a 30x48 shop, greenhouse, fenced gardens with raised beds, and over 100 planted trees form a working homestead. A 26kWh Generac automatic backup generator with dedicated propane tank, a proven 10 GPM well that has never pumped out, whole-house water filtration, and a recently redone driveway and parking area mean this property is move-in ready and built for total independence.

The land itself is remarkable: a massive old-growth aspen forest, a sledding hill for the kids right off the front porch, and over a mile of private trails through a forest that has been parked out for fire prevention. Landscape gardens are taking shape in the front yard. Just 2 miles away, a secret access point opens onto 474 acres of landlocked Kaniksu National Forest. The property sits just 2 miles from the Pack River at Highway 95 — head upriver 10 miles to the first recreation portal for snowmobiling, backcountry skiing, mountain lakes, and Chimney Rock, or head downriver to float the Lower Pack, one of the area's favorite summer traditions. This is decades of care and investment in one property — the kind of place you can't build from scratch.
