Rare opportunity to own two legal parcels with 200 feet of private Priest River frontage, just outside of town. The home has been fully remodeled in recent years and offers 1,812 SF with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a bright, functional layout. Large windows bring in great natural light and take advantage of the sweeping river and mountain views. The kitchen, living, and dining areas flow easily to the outdoor spaces, including a riverfront, wraparound deck and paver patio with firepit. It’s the perfect setup for everyday living or hosting. The property includes water rights from the Priest River, and also features a private well—providing a reliable water system that is well serviced by both sources. A major bonus here is the 1575 square foot detached shop (with additional 12x35 ft lean-to), offering true versatility. With 220 service and generator-ready wiring, it’s well-suited for a workshop, equipment storage, recreational gear, or so much more. Plenty of space to actually use—not just store. The acreage is open and usable, with direct access to the river for fishing, swimming, or floating. A hard-to-find combination of riverfront, usable land, and two parcels. Come see what North Idaho living is all about!
