About the Listing 12174 - 20240

A truly one-of-a-kind opportunity in Helmer to create a home with character, history, and room to make it your own. Formerly known as the iconic Helmer Café and Store, this property offers a rare chance to transform a well-known space into a unique single-family residence. Inside, you’ll find a spacious, commercial-grade kitchen that easily lends itself to a dream home setup—perfect for cooking, hosting, and gathering. The existing layout provides flexibility to design comfortable living areas, open-concept spaces, or cozy private quarters tailored to your vision. The property also features easy year-round road access and ample parking, making everyday living convenient while still enjoying the quiet, small-town setting. There’s room to expand outdoor living spaces, garden, or simply take in the surrounding Idaho landscape. Latah County has approved a Conditional Use Permit for conversion to residential use, giving buyers a strong head start. Final occupancy will require coordination with Planning & Building, but the groundwork is already in place. With its history, space, and versatility, this is a rare opportunity to create a home that truly stands apart—whether as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or something entirely your own in the heart of Helmer.
