Crazy, Brilliant Home Construction Takes Shape On Idaho Cliff

I'll tell you. The efforts some people will go through for a nice view.

A breathtaking mountain view out the kitchen window or from the deck is something that is very desirable to a lot of people. These vantage points don't come cheap.

A current Idaho home construction project might just have one of the greatest views in the country when it's all said and done, and will include a town, multiple lakes and mountain ranges, and who knows what else.

Stanley, Idaho Home Building Project is Either Brilliant Or Crazy

Can you imagine having a home built on a 400 to 500 foot cliff atop a sizable mountain that overlooks a massive portion of the Sawtooth Mountain Recreation Area? We're talking a rural view that goes on for miles and miles. That's the undertaking that is beginning to take shape on a mountain overlooking Stanley, Idaho.

Stanley is located within the Sawtooth Mountain Recreation Area about 60 miles northwest of Sun Valley, the playground for southern Idaho's wealthiest human beings.

A structure very much resembling a home can be seen directly across Highway 75 from Papa Brunee's Pizza and Subs, which is where I was seated when I took a picture of it on Sunday afternoon while enjoying a Hawaiian style pie and cold beer.

The individual funding this build is either the world's biggest recluse or an absolute visionary. I hope the rest of Idaho can someday see the inside of this place on a real estate website after it's complete, because the views will surely be amazing.

Does anyone have any information on this build who can clue the rest of us in?
