Big Idaho stands alone—a historically significant log estate of extraordinary scale, craftsmanship, and natural grandeur set on 57.6 private acres in the pristine wilderness of northern Idaho. Recognized as one of the most iconic log residences ever built, this irreplaceable landmark offers 21,000 square feet of handcrafted living space where nine fireplaces, massive hand-turned larch logs, and nearly 7,000 square feet of windows reflect a timeless dedication to quality. Fronting Round Prairie Creek, with multiple private lakes and direct National Forest adjacency, the estate creates unparalleled seclusion teeming with elk, moose, deer, and waterfowl. From the breathtaking great room to a primary suite with private sauna and lake views, every detail speaks to enduring legacy.
