Welcome to this exceptional 2022-built Craftsman-style luxury rancher tucked onto 5.08 private acres just outside Spirit Lake, Idaho, where the pace slows down and the views take over. From the moment you turn onto the paved circle driveway, this property feels less like a house and more like an invitation: to garden in the morning sun, to loose an arrow down your own backyard archery range in the evening, to soak in the hot tub under a sky full of stars, and to build a life that finally has room to breathe. This is North Idaho living at its finest -- a true private mountain retreat with the space, systems, and craftsmanship to support it, all just minutes from town.
LIFESTYLE & SETTING
Spirit Lake living is about more than square footage -- it's about what your days actually look like. Here, mornings might start with fresh eggs from your own chicken coop, coffee on the deck overlooking raised garden beds and a 10x12 greenhouse, and a walk past six young fruit trees (apple, peach, cherry, and pear) just getting established and full of promise for years of homegrown harvests to come. Afternoons might mean sharpening your skills on a private archery range, tinkering in the oversized shop, or simply enjoying the quiet of 5.08 acres that feel worlds away from everything -- yet are close enough to town for easy access to shopping, schools, and the lake itself. Evenings wind down in the hot tub just off the main-floor primary suite, the kind of everyday luxury that makes this home feel like a permanent vacation.
The property is thoughtfully improved for both comfort and function: a paved circle driveway offers a graceful approach and easy turnaround, while an additional gravel area provides space for equipment, trailers, or overflow parking. RV owners and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the dedicated 50-amp RV electrical outlet and sewer dump station -- because this home is built for a lifestyle of adventure, self-sufficiency, and hospitality.
INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS
Inside, 5,704 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space unfolds across six bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, with craftsmanship and quality evident in every detail. The oversized main-floor primary suite is a true retreat, offering direct access to the hot tub for effortless indoor-outdoor relaxation -- imagine stepping straight from your bedroom into steaming water on a cold Idaho evening. A main-floor office/den provides the flexibility today's homeowners need, whether for remote work, a home business, or a quiet library.
The gourmet kitchen anchors the home with quartz countertops, a granite sink, a pot filler for effortless cooking, and a spacious walk-in pantry that keeps everything organized and within reach. High-end GE appliances and a built-in wine fridge complete the space, making it as functional for everyday family meals as it is for entertaining. Throughout the home, Pella windows fill the rooms with natural light while maximizing energy efficiency, and a cozy fireplace with an automatic fire-starter makes ambiance as easy as the touch of a button.
Comfort and air quality are built in at every level: a high-efficiency furnace with UV light air cleaning keeps the air fresh year-round, a propane tankless water heater ensures endless hot water on demand, and the Lennox app-controlled HVAC system lets you manage your home's climate from anywhere. MyQ app-controlled garage door openers add another layer of everyday convenience and security.
LAUNDRY, UTILITY & SMART SYSTEMS
Practical luxury continues in the main-floor laundry room, complete with a built-in dog wash -- a dream feature for anyone with muddy paws and North Idaho trails to explore. A second laundry area in the basement adds flexibility for a large household or multigenerational living. A whole-house water softener protects appliances and plumbing, while the Leviton smart panel puts electrical monitoring and control at your fingertips. And for true peace of mind, the home is already wired for a generator -- because out here, being prepared is part of the lifestyle.
BONUS & FLEX SPACES
This home offers exceptional flexibility for the way you actually live. A 600-square-foot bonus room with its own private entrance and two large storage areas is ideal as a private office, studio, gym, or guest retreat -- completely separate from the main living areas when you need it to be. The daylight walkout basement is a showstopper in its own right, featuring beautiful concrete epoxy floors, a large living area perfect for a media or game room, an additional bonus room, and even more flex space to adapt to your needs -- whether that's a home theater, workshop, or fifth bedroom suite. Radiant heat flooring runs throughout the basement, keeping every square foot comfortable through Idaho winters.
OUTDOOR FEATURES
Step outside and discover a property designed for gardeners, hobby farmers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Raised garden beds make growing your own produce simple and rewarding, while the 10x12 greenhouse extends your growing season well beyond what North Idaho weather typically allows. Six young fruit trees -- apple, peach, cherry, and pear -- are already planted and getting established, promising homegrown flavor in the years ahead, and a dedicated chicken coop makes farm-fresh eggs a daily reality. A Beehive app-operated full sprinkler system takes the guesswork out of maintaining it all, with garden drip lines to individual beds and irrigation dedicated to the fruit trees, so everything stays lush with minimal effort.
For those who love time outdoors in other ways, the property includes a private archery range right on-site -- a rare and exciting amenity for hunters, target shooters, or anyone looking to sharpen their skills without leaving home. A fenced dog kennel keeps four-legged family members safe and secure, while a storage shed and dedicated wood storage area keep firewood and equipment organized and protected from the elements. And after a full day enjoying it all, the hot tub -- conveniently located just off the main-floor primary suite -- offers the perfect place to unwind under the stars.
LOCATION & RECREATION
Spirit Lake, Idaho continues to be one of the most sought-after small towns in the Inland Northwest, and it's easy to see why. Surrounded by dense forest, rolling hills, and the sparkling waters of Spirit Lake itself, this community offers a rare blend of small-town charm and outdoor access. Boating, fishing, and paddleboarding on the lake are just minutes away, as are miles of hiking and ATV trails winding through the surrounding national forest. Winter brings easy access to nearby ski resorts, while Coeur d'Alene -- with its shopping, dining, and renowned lakefront -- is only a short drive south, and Spokane International Airport is reachable in under an hour. It's the kind of location that lets you enjoy true rural privacy without ever feeling far from what you need.
CRAFTSMANSHIP YOU CAN FEEL
Built in 2022, this home was designed from the ground up with quality and longevity in mind. Classic Craftsman exterior lines pair with a thoughtful, modern floor plan inside, striking a balance between timeless curb appeal and everyday livability. High-end finishes were chosen throughout -- from the Pella windows and quartz countertops to the concrete epoxy basement floors -- reflecting a level of care that's increasingly hard to find in newer construction. Every system, from the Lennox app-controlled HVAC to the Leviton smart panel and generator-ready wiring, was selected to make ownership simple, efficient, and worry-free for years to come. This isn't a home that will need updating anytime soon; it was built right the first time.
A HOME FOR EVERY SEASON
Picture a crisp fall morning tending your young orchard as it grows toward its first harvests, followed by an afternoon at the archery range and a stop by the chicken coop to gather the day's eggs. Picture a summer evening watering the raised garden beds by hand -- or better yet, letting the app-controlled sprinkler system do it for you -- before relaxing in the hot tub as the sun sets over your 5.08 acres. Picture a snowy winter night with a fire crackling in the automatic-start fireplace, the whole family gathered in the walkout basement's spacious living area, warmed underfoot by radiant heat. This property was designed to be enjoyed in every season, by every member of the family -- two-legged and four-legged alike.
SHOP & STORAGE
Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, and anyone needing serious storage will appreciate the impressive 36x40 shop, complete with its own wood stove for year-round comfort and a convenient half bath -- making it an ideal space for projects, a workshop, or even a small business. Two additional lean-tos extend the property's storage capacity even further: a 50x16 lean-to on the right side and a 40x12 lean-to on the left, offering ample covered space for equipment, RVs, boats, or seasonal storage. Combined with the paved circle driveway, gravel parking area, and RV hookups, this property is truly set up to support every hobby, vehicle, and outdoor pursuit you can imagine.
