552 Loch Haven

145+ acres, 2,200' 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 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 that are home to herds of deer and elk and warmed by its own sheltered microclimate.

The views are protected forever: unbroken state land for miles to the south, and 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.

Set on a private, protected cove, this extraordinary 6,600+ square-foot stone-clad residence blends exceptional craftsmanship with a deep connection to its natural surroundings.

The main house is constructed of fiber-reinforced concrete faced in hand-laid stone and warmed by radiant heat from both gas- and wood-fired boilers.

Inside are three bedrooms and five baths, along with a steam shower, sauna, and Toto Neorest fixtures throughout.

Spring-fed creeks wind beneath handcrafted stone bridges toward a stone-walled garden and greenhouse just beyond the house.

A secluded, deer-fenced meadow extends the property's cultivated landscape, with a rose garden, orchard, berry beds, and a honeybee hive creating an idyllic private retreat.

Loch Haven is a self-contained world including a 4,400 sf gate house, a shop complex with multi-bay equipment storage, a protected boat basin with two 8,000-lb lifts and boathouse, a second private cove for additional living quarters, and a renovated 1936 VIP cabin on adjoining Forest Service land with panoramic lake views.

Twenty-five minutes to Sandpoint, minutes from Schweitzer, and easy access to all amenities, including Coeur d'Alene airport.

This is truly a once-in-a-generation North Idaho sanctuary.
