Large (48' x 64') clearspan pole barn with metal siding and roof includes a tack room, storage shed, and enough room to park a horse trailer inside.  Barn wired with 100-amp service.  Storage for 12+ tons of hay and 8 cords of firewood.  One 12x20 stall and one 12x12 stall inside the barn, with a horse loafing area in the barn, open to the corral.  Two Nelson automatic waterers plus a frost-free hydrant.  The Corral area has sturdy landscape fabric over the soil, with pea gravel covering the landscape fabric for mud and thrush control.  Four-strand electric fencing around the corral.  An unvegetated wide pathway around several fenced pastures gives horses a quarter-mile run for exercise.  Farmed/grazed acreage planted in mixed-grass.  Chicken coop with a predator-safe chicken yard.  Plenty of vehicle and trailer parking.

Property is five miles from Moscow, Idaho, the vibrant University of Idaho town of 25,000, and fourteen miles from Washington State University in Pullman, in the beautiful Palouse region.  A paved bike trail runs from Pullman through Moscow and 15 miles east of Moscow.  Mountain bike trails on nearby Moscow Mountain.  Horseback riding is available on adjacent CRP, in nearby forested areas, along the Snake River, and in the largest wilderness area in the lower 48 states.

Don't expect an elegant luxury home with a large manicured lawn, built for entertaining the boss. Instead, it's a home to really LIVE in, and invite your friends into, well-designed and with many thoughtful features like tiled windowsills and pretty woodwork.  The xeriscape around the home needs a caring gardener but will delight with its blooms, birds, and insect visitors.  It is ever-changing and not just a grass monoculture. Just waiting for the perfect owner!

Lenville Road is a beautiful country drive less than 5 minutes from Moscow, ID, and 15 minutes from Pullman, WA. Closest large airport is Spokane, WA but both Pullman and Lewiston, ID also have daily flights to Seattle and Boise.
