Description:
Set in a majestic private forest on a gentle knoll overlooking the south end of Lake Coeur d'Alene, the Selby Knoll Estate provides a serene, natural experience in the heart of Northern Idaho. This simple, tasteful Prairie-style influenced retreat complex is nestled deep in a conservation easement owned by the original homestead family. The two homes were designed for privacy but are closely adjacent to one another off a quiet, county-maintained gravel road with no neighbors in sight. You can even bring along your canine friends to do some exploring with you!

The open plan of the main house features a gourmet kitchen and dining area with native stone trim and granite countertops flowing into the great room with a towering forest view coming through carefully arraigned windows and skylights, all furnished with an uncluttered Asian-influenced esthetic reflecting the owners' many years overseas in the Far East. Completing the main floor is a spacious bedroom with a tasteful bathroom with private forest views.

The guest house also is simple and functional, with red oak floors, granite kitchen countertops, and furnished with a similar uncluttered Asian-influenced esthetic. The large great room has a kitchen, dining, and twin beds. Completing the main floor is the master bedroom with a queen bed under a Javanese wall carving, and the recently-remodeled bathroom with private forest views. The basement affords access to the main floor and the washer and dryer.

Stepping outside brings you to a landscaped pond area in the main house courtyard and decks off both houses under old-growth pines and firs. The three acres of park-like, towering forest glen surrounding the home are yours to explore, with paths leading to two satellite decks offering filtered views up and down Lake Coeur d'Alene. Encounters on the property with white-tailed deer are common, plus moose, elk, and black bear sightings from time to time.

Things to Know: Due to the woodland location, the paths are unimproved and steep in spots. Everything in the home is up to code, but there are porch and deck areas with no railings. Wood fires are not allowed inside, or out, to protect our family forest and respect wildlife. Use extreme caution when using the gas grill.

Parking Notes: The Main House: When coming down the driveway, stay to the left at the fork and park in front of the garage doors or to the left of the house. The Guest House: When coming down the driveway, stay to the right at the fork. This home is professionally managed for quality, not "by owner".
