…  that Marvin Erickson’s house on Canfield Mountain at 4095 E. Erickson Drive/Dalton Gardens (follow ugly Z on hillside) is available for a cool $575,000. Marvin gained local infamy by carving that huge Z in the side of Canfield for an access road to get to his dream house. Realtor John Thomas Sinclair of Windermere/Coeur d’Alene Realty has listed the place. Here’s the real estate description: ” The best view in CdA comes with this amazing family home on 2.29 acres at the end of Hanley Ave. in CdA. Well laid out home is loaded with windows and views from every room. Spacious master suite includes a turret w/ views to the North. Full walk out basement offers extra bedrooms, living room, and a pre plumbed kitchen area. The parcel includes a 24x30 shop w/ 1/2 BA. Superb easy access.” Now might be the chance for a public entity to buy the property, donate it to Dalton Gardens, and turn the whole thing into a public park.
