Selby Knoll Estate Main House and Guesthouse - Harrison, ID

Set in a majestic private forest on a gentle knoll overlooking the south end of Lake Coeur d’Alene, the Selby Knoll Estate provides a serene, natural experience in the heart of Northern Idaho. This simple, tasteful Prairie-style influenced retreat complex is nestled deep in a conservation easement owned by the original homestead family. The two homes were designed for privacy but are closely adjacent to one another off a quiet, county-maintained gravel road with no neighbors in sight.

The open plan of the main house features a gourmet kitchen and dining area with native stone trim and granite countertops flowing into great room with a towering forest view
coming through carefully arraigned windows and skylights, all furnished with an uncluttered Asian-influenced esthetic reflecting the owners’ many years overseas in the Far East. Completing the main floor is a spacious bedroom with a tasteful bathroom with private forest views.

The guest house also is simple and functional, with red oak floors and granite kitchen countertops and furnished with a similar uncluttered Asian-influenced esthetic. The large great room has the kitchen, dining, socializing and twin beds. Completing the main floor is the master bedroom with a queen bed under a Javanese wall carving, and the recently-remodeled bathroom with private forest views. The basement affords access to the main floor and the washer and dryer.

Stepping outside brings you to a landscaped pond area in the main house courtyard and decks off both houses under old growth pines and firs. The three acres of park-like, towering forest glen surrounding the home is yours to explore, with paths leading to two satellite decks offering filtered views up and down Lake Coeur d’Alene. Encounters on the property with white tailed deer are common, plus moose, elk, and black bear sightings from time to time.
