145+ acres, 2,200 ft of private Lake Pend Oreille shoreline· Bordered on three sides by State Forest Some places are found. This one is entered. A serpentine descent over a ridge of state forest drops 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 pristine 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.
