145Ⴑ acres Ⴗ 2,200 ft of private lake pend oreille shoreline Ⴗ bordered on three sides by national forest
some places are found. this one is entered. a serpentine descent over a ridge of state forest drop s to the single gated entrance of loch haven__145+ acres with 2,200 feet of lake pend oreille shoreline wilderness sealed on every side by a mountain ridge rising nearly 2,000 feet to the water′s edge. there is no other way in but the gate or the lake. surrounding trails climb to the ridgeline and stop; nothing crosses. the result is a private nature preserve of mature cedar, fir, and tamarack__home to herds of deer and elk__warmed by its own sheltered microclimate.
the views are protected forever: unbroken state land for miles to the south, sheer cliffs across the lake where nothing can be built. beyond lies lake pend oreille itself, an alpine lake more than a thousand feet deep and the most singular water in idaho. the stone-clad main residence__fiber-reinforced concrete faced in hand-laid stone, with radiant heat from gas and wood-fired boilers__offers 3 bedrooms, 5 baths, steam shower, sauna, and toto neorest fixtures throughout. spring-fed creeks slip beneath handcrafted stone bridges to a stone-walled garden and greenhouse beside the house, while a remote, deer-fenced meadow holds a rose garden, orchard, berry beds, and honeybee hive.
loch haven is a self-contained world: a two-home gate house, a shop complex with living quarters, multi-bay equipment storage, a protected boat basin with two 8,000-lb lifts and boathouse, a hidden lagoon with tiny home and yurt, and a renovated 1936 vip cabin on adjoining forest service land with panoramic lake views. in all, the estate sleeps up to 29 guests__plus eight in the yurt.
twenty-five minutes to sandpoint, minutes from schweitzer. a once-in-a-generation north idaho sanctuary.
