1517 Otts Basin Rd

Set on 9.1 serene acres just about 20 minutes from downtown Sandpoint, this craftsman estate blends privacy, space, and refined Northwest design. The home offers approximately 5,750 square feet with five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths, anchored by soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, substantial timber beams, rich hardwoods, and multiple stone-accented fireplaces that lend warmth and presence throughout. Everyday living flows through a chef's kitchen with granite surfaces, a generous island and peninsula, and a walk-in pantry, opening to expansive living and dining areas designed for gathering. A wet bar elevates entertaining substantially. Two spacious primary suites create flexibility for multi-generational living or a generous guest arrangement, while additional bedrooms accommodate family or office needs. A finished daylight walk-out lower level adds more versatile space for media, play, or hobbies. Well-thought amenities include a fitness area with an adjacent steam shower, high-speed internet availability, central air with heat pump, forced air heat with propane, (2) wood-burning fireplaces, and a whole-house generator. Take full advantage of the large 3-stall attached garage, especially during the snowy months. Outdoors, the setting feels like a private park. Level and gently sloped grounds mix lawn, pasture, and timber with southern exposure, fruit trees, and a seasonal creek. Enjoy year-round use of the covered patio, then head to Schweitzer Mountain Resort or Lake Pend Oreille when adventure calls. The property is served by a private well and septic system.
