35056 N KELSO DRIVE

Behind a private gate, a true-log lodge waits on 10 wooded acres where the only traffic is elk on the driveway. New UV-shielded windows pour morning light onto honeyed timbers, while fiber-optic internet keeps town a click away. Sip coffee on the wraparound deck as deer drift by, harvest lunch from the greenhouse gardens, then wander a mile of your own trails—on foot, bike, skis, or ATV. Evenings linger over the deep-pit barbecue, move to the fire-pit lounge, and finish under a Milky-Way sky in the steaming hot tub. A 30 × 40 shop stands ready for RVs, boats, and every North Idaho toy. Inside, the story continues: a chef's kitchen dressed in knotty-alder soft-close cabinetry, granite, and a Thermador six-burner range; a sun-washed great room anchored by a crackling wood stove; an upper-level primary retreat that feels like a spa in the treetops. Here you'll fish a nearby lake at noon, watch snow whisper past the windows at dusk, and live the pages of Mountain Living every day.
