Retreat Evaluation
Drinking and Irrigation Water: There is nothing more important than water for a successful retreat, and these lots have a very strategic supply! Lots in this area support wells of average depth. Year-round natural springs and a seasonal creek give you the option of a redundant water supply.
Nearby Lakes - Less than 1/2-hour drive to some of the largest lakes
west of the Mississippi such as Lake Pend Orielle and Lake Coeur d'
Alene. Picturesque Cocolalla Lake is only 4 miles away -- summertime
fun, great catfishing, ice fishing in the winters.
Rivers - Spokane River flows from nearby lake Coeur d' Alene; Priest River flows from nearby Priest Lake.
Stream - Cocolalla Creek, which feeds Cocolalla Lake, is easy walking distance from these lots. It has fishable populations of trout, bass and panfish.
Creek - Seasonal creek on property!
Springs - Year-round natural springs on two of the three lots
One of the biggest mistakes people make in buying retreat property in North Idaho is failing to consider whether or not the property they purchase is within a fire protection district. These lots ARE within the Sagle, Idaho fire protection district. In fact they are within two miles of the fire station pictured above -- that means favorable rates on your homeowner's insurance! In case nobody has told you: If you buy land in N. Idaho outside a fire protection district and your house catches fire nobody will come to put the fire out! And if your home is outside a fire protection district, you won't be able to purchase homeowner's insurance. Don't make the mistake of buying land outside a fire protection district.
Emergency Medical Response is another important consideration when you
buy land in N. Idaho. When you call 911 from one of these lots you'll
have an ambulance w/in 10-15 minutes day or night 24/7. It just
doesn't get any better than that on rural remote acreage.
Bonner County, Idaho is a 4 seasons climate w/ average precipitation of around 20 inches. In the last 7 years we've averaged about one foot of snow on the ground in winter. This year was one for the record books however -- we had 3-4 feet of snow on these lots most of the winter. Not too cold, though. Sub-zero temperatures are rare.
Summers are normally dry w/ beautiful weather -- very few hot days (>95 degrees). No humidity which makes both the cold of winter and heat of summer much more pleasant. If you're from the South or East Coast, let me say it again -- no humidity! We are able to have extensive gardens on the adjacent property, but suggest short season corn and tomatoes.
Sun exposure is south/southwest.
Land Acreage: 5 Acres per parcel
Do you have a survey available? Yes
Property Elevation: about 2600 feet
These properties are accessed by a well-engineered (I.E. low maintenance) private road.
Neighbors. After location, water, and fire protection, I think good neighbors are critically important. We've found the neighbors to be helpful, friendly, and quiet. In addition neighbors on three sides already have their homes built; are on large acreages of their own; and their houses are not within sight -- lots of privacy and very unique for a 5 acre lots.
Nearest town locale: Sandpoint or Coeur d' Alene
Population: Sandpoint 6000; Coeur d' Alene 40,000
There were three properties available, one has been sold. Two are still available. Cash or buyer must be able to qualify for a loan for the agreed selling price. I'd also be willing to consider gold or silver.
