Just 10 minutes from Troy and the Kootenai River, on a paved, county-maintained road, sits this level 7.89-acre parcel, located next to a large section of Stimpson Lumber land. The property has a mix of trees, open meadows, and is fenced for animals, with an older chicken coop, garden area, shed & corrals.

The 3-story shop house was built in 2013 and is 32 x 40 and has living quarters on the 2nd and 3rd levels, with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room area on both levels. The main level is an open shop with a gravel floor, separate workshop, and a room that has a wood stove and a cistern for water.

Power is to the home & it is wired, but power is currently shut off. Property and shop need cleanup and work. The property is level and all useable.
