North Idaho 20 Acre Horse Property with Tremendous Valley Views

14489 N REFLECTION RD Rathdrum, ID

  • 19.9 Acres
  • 2496 Sq Ft Home
  • 3 Stall Monitor Style Professional Barn
  • Heated/Insulated Office in the Barn
  • Fenced Paddocks
  • Acres of Verdant Fenced Pasture
  • Pond
  • 24×36 Shop

Ride all the way to Rathdrum Mountain from bordering Inland Paper Company land. Some horse enthusiasts wait their whole lives to possess a property with such natural majesty that affords immediate access to Horse & ATV Trails like the ones that traverse the varied terrain of these 19.9 acres located in rural Northwest Kootenai County. If the views delight and amaze you, then you’ll be positively giddy over its affordability! What’s the catch? Well…there IS no catch! But here is a little more about this lovely rural property: A long country road meanders around the treed picturesque mountain side and past the natural pond and the lush lawn at the entrance to this property. Up ahead, you can glimpse the Covered Front Porch of the 2500 sq ft Daylight Rancher that welcomes you home. The fire pit just ahead reminds you of all the fun of last night with the family, toasting marshmallows over the fire, watching for falling stars, and basking in the cheerful banter of the ones you hold dear. It’s quiet out here. About all you hear any day is the gentle nickering of the friendly beasts from their happy spot in the North Pasture. That suits you just fine. Living in Nature, breathing the clean mountain air, and getting in your robust daily workout on your Horse Ranch is your definition of perfection. You gather your purchases from the trip into town after you park in the large detached Garage/Shop. It has plenty of space for your vehicles, and it’s great to have a space dedicated to repairs and fabrication. It’s also heated with a wood stove – which saves you money on utilities. It’s good to be home. The updated 3BR/2.5BA is perfect for you. Spacious kitchen with pantry, lots of counter space and storage cabinetry makes cooking and cleaning up super easy. An informal dining area off the tiled kitchen where the family will gather tonight for supper. Dinner might be a BBQ, prepped out on the Patio in the fenced back yard. Fresh-baked fruit pies for dessert tonight, because the fruit trees on your property are bearing abundantly this year. Might have to do some canning or freezing soon. No problem! There’s plenty of storage downstairs. It will be nice when Autumn comes. You love the vibrant colors of Fall, and the chance to slow the pace a little, cozied up to that warm Gas Stove in the Family Room. A tasty meal, a glass of wine while winding down for the evening, and then you’ll get to turn in. Your bed in the Master Suite will feel so good after today’s work in the warm North Idaho summer sunshine. There are fewer joys in life more beautiful than this place that you now call ‘home’.

Bush Tax Cuts May Expire January 1: Homeowners of $1 M+ Properties Beware

Capital_gains_tax

Do you own a home valued over 1 million dollars? Beware! Congress may allow the Bush Tax Cuts to expire on January 1, 2013. What does this mean for homeowners of properties valued over $1,000,000? Capital Gains taxes may rise as high as 20% from the current 15%. CNBC reports that if these go into effect, wealthy home owners could owe millions of dollars more in taxes on their home sales. Because Bush Tax Cuts may expire January 1, Homeowners of $1 M+ Properties are contacting REALTORS across the country, hoping to get their home on the market and sold before January 1.

Source: “Wealthy Home Owners Brace for ‘Mansion Cliff,’” CNBC (July 13, 2012)

But don’t panic! Regardless of the rate rise, the $500,000 capital gains exclusion remains in effect. This means that, under the current federal Tax Code, any sales gain of $250,000 or less for single filers and $500,000 or less for married couples filing jointly will still be exempt from capital gains tax. So…is it time to rush right out and sell your $1,000,000+ property? Can you afford to take your time? The best way for you to make that decision is to call The Oetkens! We have our finger on the pulse of the North Idaho Real Estate Market, and we keep a close eye on the news, politics, and other factors that can have a major influence on the Coeur d’Alene Real Estate market.

unity

01_downtown_area_condo_in_gated_community

This Single Level Condo is just perfect – close enough to Downtown Coeur d’Alene to enjoy all its offerings,

yet private and secure. Cherry Blossom Court Condos is a Gated 55+ Community, featuring

an interior Community Courtyard that is beautifully landscaped and includes Covered Patios, Paved Walkways, and ample seating for entertaining friends and family. The 1010 sq ft & 1BR/1.5BA Condo features a generous Living Room area opening to an informal Dining Space. The well equipped kitchen has plenty of cabinetry for storage, and even features a breakfast bar. Numerous amenities include year-round Climate controlled comfort, Jetted Tub in the Master Bath, and natural light filtering through the Skylight, cheering the indoor spaces regardless of the season. A more private Family room could function as a second bedroom, and a Powder Room (1/2 Bath) accommodates visitors quite nicely. One of the best advantages of Condo Living is that all the maintenance and repairs, landscaping and gardening are taken care of for you. What will you do with all your spare time and energy? Since you will be located just .6 Mile from Sherman Avenue, the Heart of Downtown, you’ll be close enough to enjoy all that Coeur d’Alene has to offer! Here are a few ideas to get you started: City Beach, Marina, Resort, World-Class Golf, and the eclectic array of artisan shops, 5 Star Dining establishments and local delis & eateries of all varieties. Of course, Lake Coeur d’Alene is the ultimate perennial attraction for year round entertainment and relaxation. Take a cruise on the Lake almost any time of year. Observe the waterfowl, or water ski, take a ‘daydreaming’ tour the Lakefront Real Estate, or just go “people watching” at the City Beach. The Lake and its environs is a popular gathering spot, and so there’s always something fun and interesting to do. Downtown businesses and other area groups sponsor events and attractions all year. The annual Art On the Green and Street Fair are scheduled the first weekend of August. Classic Car Rallies (“Car d’Alene”), a Wooden Boat Show, 4th of July Fireworks, Concert Series in area parks & Farmers Markets are just some of the flavors of a Coeur d’Alene summer. Fall and winter are just as appealing, with Oktoberfest and the Thanksgiving Weekend Fireworks and Festival of Trees, as well as a host of cultural offerings like Jazz festivals, Opera Plus, Community Theater & the Coeur d’Alene Symphony. One more note: Bald Eagles literally flock to Higgins Point every Christmas for winter fishing. You won’t want to miss it! $109,000 Want to know more about this Downtown Coeur d’Alene 2BR Condo in Gated 55+ Community? Call Christy Oetken
