The next best thing to living in the middle of the woods is being close enough to see nature but still be surrounded by comfort.
That feeling is a big part of the appeal of Timbered Vista, a home in the Lone Mountain Estates neighborhood in northern Rathdrum.
Set in the middle of a 5-acre lot, the 2,915-square-foot home offers plenty of unparalleled views of the surrounding forest, especially from the prime viewing area of a vaulted great room that overlooks a spacious backyard.
The room also includes a large stone fireplace, making it a peaceful and comfy spot to watch and the snow, the rain the sunshine, even the deer that wander through the property.

“The big windows really bring nature in,” said Ken Moeller, from Windermere Hayden, who is part of the sales team for builder Timbered Ridge Homes.
The great room also opens to a covered vaulted back patio where you can sit, entertain or barbecue.
The rest of the two-story home is equally impressive. It includes five bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths and a three-car garage. An open flow concept makes it easy to move between the kitchen, dining area and living room.
The chef’s kitchen features lighted cabinets and a nook that leads to a walk-pantry, which can be used for supplies as well as a coffee and tea prep area. The oversized granite island is a focal point.
The master suite is spacious and allows access to an outdoor patio. Plus, there’s a walk-in shower with a rain head and body spray settings as well as a soaking tub.
Timbered Ridge Homes earned three awards in the Spruce category for Timbered Vista from this year’s Parade of Homes: best Kitchen, best master suite, and best interior.
Moeller said one thing that the builder does well is customize details of every home for every client. This goes beyond choosing from a couple of available blueprints.
For instance, the Timbered Vista home started out as modern Craftsman home, but variations were added to it, such as more rustic lodge elements.
“You’ll be allowed to modify anything you want and pick all your colors and their styles,” he said. “Everyone has different things they like.” N
