The Property

120 Acres. Two Elevations.
Panoramic Amphitheater Mountain Views.

Scale is only the beginning. The distinction lies in what the acreage contains—and how completely each part strengthens the whole.

This Pacific Northwest estate consists of an elevated 40-acre parcel surrounding the residence and a lower 80-acre parcel extending east to west beneath it. ~200' of elevation separate the two, bringing elevated amphitheater panoramic views and private access into one holding.

The Acreage

Two Distinct Land Profiles.
One Cohesive Estate.

Large-acreage properties are not defined by acreage alone. The full value of this holding becomes clear only when its two distinct land profiles are understood together.

The Elevated 40

Residence & Productive Landscape

40
Acres

At ~3,100', the elevated 40 acres contain the residence, primary infrastructure, orchard, berry and grape plantings, garden areas and open meadow. The estate’s rare productive microclimate and primary ridgeline views originate here.

The Lower 80

Forest, Meadow & Wildlife Corridor

80
Acres

~200' below, the lower 80 acres extend east to west across forest, meadow and ravines. This acreage carries the established elk migration path, controls the foreground beneath the estate’s primary views and preserves the land for future optionality.

Both parcels have purpose. Neither is secondary. Their relationship is the asset.

The two land profiles explain the estate geographically. The approach explains how that separation feels.

The Approach

The Drive Tells You
What the Address Means.

The route from Saint Maries is part of what gives this property its character. Along Benewah Creek, the landscape begins to change. Benewah Creek runs alongside the road. Horses graze open pasture. Scottish Highland cattle and Angus appear in the fields. Deer are common here, especially near feeding times. Elk and moose also move through the corridor. The estate itself contains a decades-long elk migration path. Heyburn State Park marks the beginning of the approach.

Every Feature
Earns Its Place.

What distinguishes the estate is the way its attributes reinforce one another. Acreage protects the views. Elevation creates perspective. Water and microclimate make the land productive. Private access connects the valley floor to the ridgeline throughout the year.
