Four seasons, fresh air, clean water, un-crowded – this is the magnet that drew our forefathers and might now be drawing you. St. Maries is amidst this sylvan paradise – cradled within the arms of majestic mountains, surrounded by lakes and rivers and towering forests, and bordered by the fertile Palouse farming area. Winter snow and the smell of wood smoke, summer days and the sound of gentle breezes through the pines – every where you turn satisfies a hidden yearning. Add to that, our low taxes, first-rate medical facilities and the best outdoor recreation opportunities in America, and you’ll begin to realize why we cherish our home amidst the pines, firs and pungent cedars.
