Inspired by California's Sea Ranch and built by two artists in 1977, this 2-bed, 2-bath home sits on 2.55 acres in Bruneau, Idaho, plus a free-standing 1-bed, 1-bath cottage for guests, a studio, or a quiet retreat. Reclaimed wood from the blacksmith shop at the historic Turner Ranch, home to some of the area's first settlers, gives it a piece of local history. Set on acreage with room to breathe, it's best measured in mornings and evenings. The day starts with coffee on the deck as quail wander by and a trio of deer passes through, and ends under a sky so dark the Milky Way stretches overhead, edge to edge. Each season paints the property differently. Purple wildflowers in spring, gardens in full swing by summer, foliage turning in fall, and a fireplace in winter that makes a good book hard to put down. The nearby Buckaroo Ditch offers a peaceful place for a daily walk with your pup. For anyone drawn to the outdoors, the opportunities are right at your doorstep. Hunters and anglers will find abundant options close by, including CJ Strike Reservoir and the Bruneau River, while the Bruneau Dunes and the scenic Bruneau Canyon are just a few miles away. Inside, the house has a personality all its own. Soaring ceilings create a sense of openness, and thoughtful design gives each space its own warmth and character, expansive without ever losing comfort.
