Enjoy.
Beautiful barn.

Awesome old barn. I hope that you can restore it an get it to last another 100 years. I see so many of them across the country that are left to decay. They took much effort from the original builders and are an important part of the American history.

Congrats Dan! Looks like everything you've wanted and the perfect place for a new 4 legged friend to call home. I'm really glad Bayleaf had the chance to get out there and share the experience with you.

Congrats! Did it come with those big lawn mowers? 🐎🐴

No but depending on hay costs, I may get some.

Eventually I will. The Barn needs painting for sure. The house passed inspection. Might try to add solar and or a Hydroelectric system.

Congrats and welcome to Idaho! Are you planning on harvesting the wild rice for human consumption or is it mainly for wildlife habitat? I have a couple acres I plan to flood irrigate next spring. Currently deliberating between alfalfa or pasture grass.

God will sometimes close one chapter in our lives in order to open a new one. I am proud to share with all of you my new home in North Idaho. It’s a little over 10 acres. I plan on setting up my two 100’ greenhouses for growing medicinal herbals and vegetables. Besides that, I plan on growing organic wild rice in my flooded wetland fields that the creek passes through. “ The first wild rice in Idaho was introduced by duck hunters in the mid 1940s, to enhance waterfowl habitat in Benewah Lake, surrounding rivers and marshes. The project was so successful that the plant choked boat channels and dock areas. The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation was afraid it would overrun its lakes and sought bidders to harvest it. In 1982, St. Maries Wild Rice Co. was formed to harvest and process the Idaho wild rice. Each year, the Idaho Parks Dept. receives income from the harvest at Benewah Lake. That income is used to continue to restore and enhance the waterfowl habitat in Heyburn State Park where the lake is located. Dry land crops don’t do well in St. Maries because the land is so wet. There is little that farmers can grow besides hay. Wild rice offers a cash crop for local landowners, and a haven for the geese, ducks, herons and swans. Wild rice is valuable for shore birds and waterfowl as well as fur bearing animals, even deer, elk and moose. The plants are used as a brooding place for young birds. Everyone wins when wild rice is harvested in Idaho. Fishermen are benefiting by improved water access and there has been an increase in waterfowl using the areas where wild rice is grown and harvested.” I will of course do some improvements to the area prior to planting.

Beautiful property. Nice old barn. And medicinal herbal is legal in Canada. 😊
Congratulations

Looks amazing Dan! But I'm admittedly behind the times/curve, so did you keep your original wooded lot and also acquire this? Are the two far apart? Do you plan on becoming a land baron in Northern Idaho? What are the details, if I may ask?
