Welcome to your private storybook escape on 10 pristine acres with Grouse Creek frontage. This extraordinary stone estate, built by a renowned castle builder, blends old-world craftsmanship with modern comfort. Set at the end of a private drive in Sandpoint’s picturesque Selle Valley, the home captivates with its dramatic rooflines, hand-laid shingles, and porte cochere entry, all surrounded by fenced meadows, treed horizons, and serene creek frontage. A 40x50 gravel pad is already in place, ideal for a future barn, shop, or additional structure. Crafted entirely of timeless materials, the residence features a river rock exterior, stone interior walls, solid oak and quartzite slate floors with in-floor hydronic heating and double wall construction. Inside, every detail reflects artistry: custom dark walnut cabinetry, walnut-trimmed windows and porcelain countertops, Norman wood shutters, Hunter Pirouette shades, solid wood doors, and exquisite hand-carved accents including a detailed banister and arches. A dual-use open flame brick fireplace and woodstove, and imported Bertazzoni ovens from Italy enhance both function and design. Adding to the magic, the gothic-inspired garage features front and back handcrafted carriage-style doors that swing open, whimsical wide-plank man doors, and an additional attached carport. Above the garage, a sunlit studio and spa retreat await. The studio showcases floor-to-ceiling picture windows, a mini woodstove, artist loft, wet bar with wine fridge, and a spa-inspired bath with soaker tub and full sauna. A hand-carved balcony overlooking the property completes this retreat, while the porte cochere with an expansive open deck seamlessly connects the studio to the main house. This is a home where castles inspire, fairy tales begin, and old-world charm awaits. A one-of-a-kind estate crafted with a level of artistry that cannot be replicated. A rare residence that evokes timeless European charm for generations to come. With its private setting and separate studio retreat, the property also offers exceptional potential as a bed and breakfast or short-term rental destination.
