The imposing barn sits on a hill far across an expansive field as folks drive HWY 200.

It's a sight that's drawn many the eye over the past several decades.

It's the Hickey farm in Selle/Oden---whatever folks want to call the area east of Sandpoint.

Jim Hickey runs the place now. Cows and logs seem to be his focus on the farm, which was once a Grade A dairy, owned by his folks Jack and Lois.

Besides its crops, its cattle and its other projects, the farm maintains a consistent common denominator: pastoral beauty.
