1035 Davis Rd Viola, ID 83872

Majestic Homestead located in the hills of Viola just 20 minutes from Moscow and 30 minutes from Pullman, this 46-acre legacy homestead has been purpose-built for self-reliant living, long-term sustainability, and rural independence. (Professional pictures of the home and land uploaded soon!) With productive farmland, timber resources, year-round water, livestock infrastructure, backup power systems, and extensive storage, the property is uniquely suited for those seeking a survival/preparedness-focused lifestyle without sacrificing comfort or accessibility. The land includes a blend of pasture, grazing ground, forestland, and homesite acreage, all fully fenced and cross-fenced for livestock management, rotational grazing, hay production, and secure perimeter control. A year-round creek runs through the property alongside a stock pond, established fruit trees, productive orchard trees, and extensive wildlife habitat. Hiking and ATV trails wind through the timbered portions of the property, while a private 600-yard rifle range offers exceptional recreational and training opportunities. Water security is a major asset, with two wells on the property (5gpm and 20gpm approx.), frost-free hydrants, septic system, pond, creek access, and filed Idaho Water Resources Board claims associated with the wells and surface water sources. Water, mineral, and timber rights are assignable. The property has been developed to support independent production of protein, dairy, produce, and water resources with minimal outside dependency. The 2,240 sq. ft. home combines historic craftsmanship with modern upgrades and resilient infrastructure. Originally constructed in the late 1880s using full-dimension cedar milled directly from the property, the residence has been expanded and updated over the decades while maintaining its durable character. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, two additional non-conforming rooms, large kitchen and laundry areas, utility/project room, and partially finished basement with integrated firewood loading system for winter efficiency. There are confidential aspects to the property only disclosed to potential buyers under contract and signed NDA. Preparedness-oriented improvements include a dual-fuel furnace capable of burning heating oil or wood, a 17.5 kW Kubota diesel backup generator tied into a transfer switch, on-grid 200A electrical service, interior firewood storage, home security camera system with recording capability, and layered perimeter fencing around the residence with gated access points and solar-powered driveway controls. Covered outdoor living spaces overlook the creek, meadow, and forested acreage. The property’s infrastructure is extensive and highly functional. A 36’ x 60’ partially insulated (50%) shop and barn built in 2018 includes separated shop and livestock/storage areas, concrete floors, high-bay lighting, overhead doors, shelving systems, wood heat, hay storage capability, and equipment parking. Attached to the structure is a large timber-framed greenhouse with raised beds, ventilation systems, irrigation access, and productive growing space capable of extending the growing season substantially. Additional improvements include a machine shed, insulated chicken coop with predator-resistant enclosed run, livestock watering systems, multiple storage buildings, dry firewood storage, and ample room for cattle, poultry, gardening, equipment, and supplies. Existing firewood inventory and timber resources further support long-term self-sufficiency. This North Idaho property offers a rare opportunity to own a turnkey survival/preparedness-oriented homestead with water, food production capability, energy redundancy, storage, recreation, and rural privacy — all within convenient reach of regional services, universities, and airports.
