About This Home
5 acre mountain view property featuring live water and a tranquil pond. The spacious custom built home showcases soaring living room ceilings with truss accents, large windows and abundant natural light. Four ensuite bedrooms plus an upstairs sleeping loft with hidden access tucked behind a bookshelf. The garage was converted to a finished space, formerly used as a Montessori school, including its own bath and kitchen. The space would be ideal for an office, studio, business space or separate guest quarters. Generous room sizes and ample storage throughout (possible B&B). Highlights include a newer metal roof, hardwood floors, two fireplaces (one with insert) and a sauna. Prairie Creek runs through the property, gravity-feeding the lower fenced pasture with potential for small-scale hydro power. Enjoy the fenced garden area, nine apple trees, chicken coop and shop structure. Convenient paved road access 6 miles from the town of Joseph. Endless potential makes this a unique and versatile property.
