Tucked away on 1.5 beautifully wooded acres, this one-of-a-kind Post Falls property offers the perfect blend of privacy, nature, and convenience. Surrounded by mature trees, natural rock outcrops, and thoughtfully maintained forest landscape, the setting feels peaceful and secluded — like living in the country — yet you’re only 4 minutes to I-90 and just minutes from the heart of town.
Step out back into Q’emiln Park, with over 80 acres of hiking and walking trails leading to the Spokane River. Enjoy being just a couple minutes from the popular restaurants and shops along Spokane Street, as well as Post Falls Brewing Company and the beautiful Post Falls river area.
The charming cottage-style home is warm, inviting, so much natural light and full of character, featuring 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, with flexible loft space that could function as an additional sleeping area, office, or creative retreat.
Beyond the main home, the property includes a large detached 2-car garage plus an incredible ~800 sq ft detached studio/shop building currently used as a business space. This versatile structure includes loft storage, a full bathroom, and a private one-bedroom guest suite with room to create an additional bedroom or expanded living area. Ideal for a home business, art or wellness studio, guest quarters, potential multigenerational living, or rental income.
A new private road and long driveway were completed last year, with ample space for RV, boat, or trailer storage. Extensive forest management and tree maintenance have opened up the property beautifully, improving light, usability, and long-term care while preserving the natural setting.
This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special property that combines lifestyle, flexibility, and outdoor living in one of Post Falls’ most unique locations.
