About 76 Caseys Ln
Some homes are built to be lived in - this one was built to be experienced. Tucked away on 10 pristine acres in the breathtaking Selle Valley, this extraordinary stone estate invites you into a life where mornings begin beside the gentle waters of Grouse Creek, afternoons are spent exploring the mountains, lakes, and forests of North Idaho, and evenings end by the glow of a handcrafted Russian fireplace or unwinding in your private sauna. Inspired by timeless European architecture and surrounded by nature, this is more than a home - it's a place to slow down, reconnect, and create a lifetime of unforgettable memories. Welcome to your private storybook escape, where old-world craftsmanship meets modern comfort. Built by a renowned castle builder and tucked away on a private drive, the home captivates with dramatic rooflines, hand-laid shingles, a welcoming porte cochere, and picturesque views of fenced meadows, towering trees, and pristine Grouse Creek frontage. Whether enjoying coffee on the balcony, entertaining family and friends, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings, every moment here feels like a retreat. Inside the home, every detail reflects extraordinary artistry and enduring quality. Crafted entirely from timeless materials, the residence features double-wall construction, a striking river rock exterior, stone interior walls, solid oak and quartzite slate floors with in-floor hydronic heat, custom dark walnut cabinetry, walnut-trimmed windows, porcelain countertops, Norman wood shutters, Hunter Pirouette shades, solid wood doors, and exquisite hand-carved accents throughout, including the detailed banister and graceful arches. Adding to the magic, the gothic-inspired garage features handcrafted carriage-style doors that swing open from both the front and back, whimsical wide-plank man doors, and attached carports. Above the garage, a remarkable studio and spa retreat offers endless possibilities for artists, guests, or a luxurious private escape. Floor-to-ceiling picture windows frame the surrounding landscape while a mini woodstove, artist loft, wet bar with wine fridge, spa-inspired bath with soaker tub, full sauna, and a hand-carved balcony create an unforgettable sanctuary. The expansive deck connecting the studio to the main residence makes entertaining effortless while preserving privacy for both spaces. At the heart of the home, a Russian-inspired dual-use open-flame brick fireplace and woodstove radiates warmth through its thermal stone mass, creating an inviting atmosphere during North Idaho's snowy winters. Imported Bertazzoni ovens from Italy elevate both the beauty and functionality of the gourmet kitchen. Designed for comfort, efficiency, and self-reliance, the home includes a tankless on-demand gas water heater with an additional 50-gallon backup hot water heater. The entire property can operate from the backup gas-powered Generac generator, supported by two 1,000-gallon propane tanks, or be connected to solar power, offering exceptional peace of mind. A 40x50 gravel pad is already in place, ideal for a future barn, shop, or additional structure. With its private setting, separate luxury studio retreat, and one-of-a-kind design, the estate also offers exceptional potential as a boutique bed and breakfast or an exclusive short-term rental destination. A rare residence where castles inspire, fairy tales begin, and timeless European charm lives on. This is a one-of-a-kind estate crafted with a level of artistry that simply cannot be replicated - an extraordinary legacy property designed to be treasured for generations.
