Description: One owner, Custom built, 100% Concrete-Passive-Solar 3BR, 2 bath (showers only) home w/large professional office attached. The home's exterior walls are concrete and "thick" (15+") and there is insulation and also wood siding on top of the concrete. Talk about insulation! It's insulated like NO other!(Please note: No alternative building materials such as straw bales were used in this home's construction! It is 100% concrete with wood accents). Attention to green & custom details throughout! The home has a very "rustic" feel w/wooden accents and hand peeled logs, etc...The 2500+ sq/ft. is "split" between the home & office space, w/tiled flooring throughout entire first level, w/one carpeted BR room upstairs.

Please Note: The adjoining office space at one time was a medical clinic-equipped w/3 (small) exam rooms, has multiple sinks, a mini lab area, small waiting area, TONS of storage cabinets, extra outlets and wiring for multiple electronics, etc...(and it is still set up in this way). However, it could be converted into "extra" living space or into whatever type of business space you want! The office has its own entrance, and a ½ bath. Use your imagination to create this space into whatever you're dreaming of! It's just a super nice space!

The home offers two back up heating sources besides being "Passive Solar".It includes a wood burning pellet stove, and electric heating panels throughout. There are also ceiling fans and 2 shade clothes-used in the summer to cool the home. Overall, you can expect "LOW" utility bills because of this home's passive-solar-design! (It's Perfect for someone who doesn't like paying hundreds of dollars a month on utility costs, or a person on a fixed income or retiring would save $$$ per month!)

More Home Features: A LARGE "indoor garden" space runs the entire length of the building, it's approximately 80’l x 3’h x3 1/2’w. You can literally grow your own veggies year round! I use to grow lettuce, tomato, herbs, flowers, you name it to give you an idea! The "grow box" (as I call it) is an awesome feature that you will truly enjoy!!! A must see to appreciate :)

Built with w/handicap accessible features in mind (e.g. larger-wider doorways to accommodate a wheelchair, very tastefully placed safety handrails in 2 of the 3 bathrooms, etc...(We anticipated my aged MIL to be living with us but she passed away before the home was finished).

Home: has TONS of storage cabinets, comes with all appliances: stove/fridge/washer/dryer/water filtration system. Home features a “true OPEN floor plan”. The entire south side of the building is LARGE glass windows. Enjoy nature literally in front of your eyes! We have had over 20 deer in the yard at one time w/fawns sleeping under our windows! Note: The wildlife in Salmon is second to none, worth checking out if you’re a nature lover like us! In our backyard: fox-muskrats-deer-elk-eagles-cranes-and other birds galore, and so much more”! Also there is a small flowing creek that surrounds the property adding to it's natural beauty and appeal! It's just pretty out here...

And YES! Bring your Horses! Salmon is a very equestrian friendly community! Our property offers: 6.16 ac. completely set up for (show) horses! It's jack rail & wood w/mesh fenced, offers a matted 2 stall barn (that is currently made into one "large" stall). The barn is insulated and has utilities, Barn area has lights on timers and outside exterior lights, a small concrete grooming area, Dutch doors that open to secure paddock. A "spare room" adjoins the stall area which is also finished with flooring, drywall, electric, etc...The hay shed adjoins the other side of the barn and holds several hundred bales-keeping them dry. The hay shed area could open to a second enclosed paddock if a person wanted, and finally there is a grassy pasture area located behind all this.

The yard immediately surrounding the home is barked and lightly landscaped (the deer ate a lot of our baby trees). The parking areas around the home/office area is graveled and is large enough to turn a semi-truck around in! There is underground drip irrigation for the trees too. Together, it adds up to "little yard work"! Personally speaking, we "hate" to mow so keep it the grounds very low maintenance in regards to yard-work :)

(2) There is a real quality of life in Idaho! Salmon is a progressive and artistic community w/all the modern amenities of any big city. Don't let the location fool you! Salmon is a valley surrounded by gorgeous mountains! It has 4 seasons without cold harsh temperatures (the mountains protect the Salmon valley from the harsher weather). It snows more in the higher surrounding elevation areas, but the city of Salmon itself will get snow and then it usually melts off in a few days.

Don't know the Salmon area? Rent the Brad Pitt movie "A River Runs Through It" it will show you a lot of the area! Some of the movie was filmed in Salmon, and much of it was filmed in nearby adjoining communities towards the MT border.
