Rare opportunity to own approximately 1,400' of frontage along the St. Maries River in a truly remarkable North Idaho setting. Tucked at the end of a quiet dead-end road beneath a historic railroad trestle, this property offers exceptional privacy, abundant wildlife, and direct access to nature. Bald eagles frequently nest nearby, while moose, elk, deer, and turkeys are common visitors. Seasonal Rock Creek flows through the property before joining the river, and Idaho State land borders nearby. This peaceful stretch of river is non-boatable for motorized traffic, preserving the quiet surroundings while still allowing the occasional kayak or raft to float by. Enjoy fishing, swimming, and relaxing along the shoreline. Improvements include two cabins, private well, septic, insulated outbuildi ng with power, and two power meters. A rare chance to own one of the most unique riverfront properties available in North Idaho. *See additional remarks. Once-in-a-Lifetime St. Maries River Opportunity Properties like this are incredibly rare. Offering approximately 1,400' of frontage along the St. Maries River, this remarkable property presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of North Idaho history while creating a place that can be enjoyed for generations to come. Tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end road and accessed beneath an abandoned historic railroad trestle, the setting feels worlds away from everyday life. Wildlife is abundant, with bald eagles frequently returning to nest nearby, while moose, elk, deer, turkeys, and countless other species regularly pass through the property. Bordering Idaho State land and featuring seasonal Rock Creek flowing into the St. Maries River, the natural beauty here is simply unmatched. One of the most appealing features of this stretch of the St. Maries River is its peaceful setting. Unlike busier waterways, this section of river is non-boatable for motorized traffic, helping preserve the quiet, natural surroundings. During the summer months, you may spot the occasional kayaker or rafter floating by, but otherwise you'll enjoy a level of privacy and tranquility that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. Spend your summers wading along the shoreline, cooling off in the river, fishing, relaxing under the shade of the trees, or simply enjoying the soothing sounds of the water from your own backyard. Adding to the appeal is the property's exceptional future potential. Subject to county approval, the property may offer the opportunity for up to three parcel divisions, creating possibilities for future development, family compounds, investment opportunities, or simply preserving a truly special piece of riverfront ground. The property includes two cabins, each offering its own unique opportunity. The primary cedar-sided cabin serves as the current residence and features 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a private well, septic system, wood stove for cozy winter evenings, and all appliances included. Steeped in history, the original homestead cabin still stands as a reminder of an earlier era. Currently used for storage, this 2 bedroom, 2 bath structure offers incredible character and original charm waiting to be rediscovered. While the cabin requires significant restoration, including foundation repairs and rehabilitation of the existing improvements, the possibilities are endless. Restore and preserve a piece of local history, create a guest retreat with future Airbnb potential, or live in the existing cabin while bringing your vision to life. Additional improvements include an insulated outbuilding with power, ideal for a workshop, woodworking space, hobby room, home office, or additional storage. The property is serviced by two power meters, adding flexibility for future use and development. Whether your vision includes restoring the historic homestead, building a dream riverfront estate, creating a family retreat, raising livestock, or simply enjoying one of the most unique riverfront settings available in North Idaho, opportunities like this seldom reach the market. With unmatched river frontage, abundant wildlife, state land nearby, future development potential, and a setting that feels untouched by time, this is more than just a property, it's a chance to own something truly irreplaceable along the St. Maries River.
