The property occupies 5.3 acres on Idaho's Snake River and offers 370 ft of linear waterfrontage. "Per our research, there is simply nothing else in this marketplace that offers the waterfront parcel size, home size, build quality and waterfront amenities offered by this property," stated Trayor Lesnock, Platinum's president and founder. "It's a great fit for that buyer who is seeking a unique, 'trophy property' in the Pacific Northwest."

To be sure, the property features an impressive, four-story residence with a handsome brick and stone exterior. The home spans more than 12,700 sf of living space and includes four (4) bedrooms, four (4) full baths and one (1) half-bath. It was custom built in 1995 using premium materials such as quarter-sawn oak flooring, natural wood-paneling and special brick sourced from Boston, MA.

Notable home features include wood-burning fireplaces, a two-story great room with a wall of riverfront windows, an executive office/study and a lower-level entertainment lounge that offers a commercial-grade bar, fitness center, home theater, sauna and steam room. The residence's air-conditioning and heating equipment was also just replaced in August, providing the next owner with brand new heating and cooling systems.

American Falls is a charming city in southeastern Idaho, where wide valleys are framed by mountain ranges, reservoirs, and sprawling public lands that provide recreational opportunities year-round. Boating, fishing, hiking, hunting, horseback riding and snowmobiling are among the most popular outdoor pastimes.
