Escape to this extraordinary off-grid cabin, nestled in the serene Emerald Creek area of the Idaho Panhandle National Forest. Here, nature greets you with Star Garnets and roaming elk herds, offering a treasure trove of adventure. Built over time by a father and son, this one-of-a-kind cabin showcases meticulous craftsmanship in every log and fixture. Stay cool in the summer and cozy through the winter, thanks to its energy-efficient design—featuring an alder door, perma-chink siding, metal roof, low-E windows, and a tiled entryway. It's wired for power and boasts a custom staircase, cedar ceilings, an 8x8 matching shed, and RV parking. While power is just down the road, the property is ideal for solar, and it awaits a well and septic. The newest owner has added significant upgrades in the last two years, including a bathroom, water heater, a second cabin and a carport. Call today to learn more about this hidden gem!
