Property Description

This is Big Idaho - a rare and historically significant luxury log estate offering over 21,000 sq ft (Approx 16,000 AG sq ft & 5200 BG sq ft) of handcrafted living space. Recognized as one of the most iconic log residences ever built, this legacy property is set on over 228 private acres, backing directly to National Forest land, with a year-round creek and multiple lakes throughout the property, providing exceptional privacy, scale, and natural beauty. The residence features 7 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms with soaring open-concept interiors anchored by a breathtaking 40' x 50' great room with 40-foot ceilings. Nearly 7,000 sq ft of windows and 10 skylights flood the home with natural light and frame panoramic lake, mountain, and forest views. Nine stone fireplaces, six chimneys, radiant heated floors, and massive hand-turned larch logs reflect extraordinary craftsmanship and timeless rustic elegance. The main living areas include a spacious kitchen, dining room, study, den, bar, and expansive greenhouse, thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Most rooms open to private decks overlooking water and wilderness, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The primary suite is a true private sanctuary, offering a 10-person sauna, walk-in shower, sunken soaking tub, and a private deck overlooking the lake. A nearly fully finished basement adds remarkable versatility with a media room, wine cellar, gym/recreation room, and abundant storage. Surrounded by abundant wildlife—including elk, moose, deer, and waterfowl—this secluded yet accessible estate presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a historic, irreplaceable Idaho landmark. Completed in 1986, this home's lasting design provides the perfect canvas for selective modern improvements. Ideal as a private retreat, family compound, or trophy property, Big Idaho stands as a true testament to scale, craftsmanship, and enduring legacy.
