Modern ranch estate on 10 private acres just 15 minutes from Sandpoint, Lake Pend d'Oreille and Schweitzer Mountain. Designed by award-winning Waechter Architecture and completed in 2023, this 5-bed, 3.5-bath, ~3, 300 sq ft residence is an architectural standout—earthy and warm, yet distinctly modern and built with state-of-the-art systems throughout. Reclaimed barnwood siding, standing-seam metal roofing and aluminum energy-efficient windows define the exterior. Inside, full pine tongue-and-groove walls and ceilings, custom lighting and a semi open-concept layout create a serene, gallery-like backdrop. The custom kitchen features white oak cabinetry, **granite countertops**, high-end appliances and a large island, flowing into the dining and living area anchored by an ultra-efficient modern wood stove. The main level offers an ideal bedroom layout with a luxurious primary ensuite plus **three additional bedrooms**, all off the central living spaces. Upstairs, a **fifth bedroom forms a private second suite**, perfect for guests or extended stays. Everyday function is elevated by a slate-tiled entry and mudroom with floor-to-ceiling storage and sink; a generous walk-in pantry with two full-size freezers, sink and custom cabinetry; and a full-size laundry room with built-ins. A separate family room features an oversized built-in lounge sofa and sleek propane fireplace. Two ensuite bedrooms include floor-to-ceiling closets and walk-in slate-tiled showers; the primary suite enjoys private access to the hot-tub deck and a covered porch oriented to the Monarch Mountain Range and Schweitzer. The third bath offers a walk-in shower/tub combo and double vanity. All three baths have custom vanities, slate tile floors and distinct, high-end finishes. Engineered oak spans the main level; the upper-level suite offers luxurious sand-toned carpet. Mechanical systems are exceptional: one of the world's most efficient modern wood stoves; propane fireplace; propane and electric utilities; 2024 Lennox furnace with heat pump for heating and cooling; 2025 tankless water heater; whole-house water filtration; fully encapsulated crawlspace; 4" exterior insulation on all living areas and bedrooms; heated floors in two full baths; a new 2024 well paired with a 2, 700-gallon underground cistern; and an automatic whole-house propane backup generator for seamless power in any outage. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A 2025 oversized teak deck integrates a covered lounge, Sundance Spa hot tub and generous entertaining space, all facing the mountain views. Approximately one acre around the home is thoughtfully landscaped with native grasses, pollinator gardens, perennials, a bocce court and a fruit tree orchard, while **irrigation lines extend across the entire 10-acre property**, supporting current landscaping and future plantings or additional cabins (buyer to verify). An oversized two-car carport and large shop with full-height garage door, extensive storage and insulated workshop complete this rare, private Sandpoint-area modern ranch estatetruly one-of-a-kind in this market.
