Share News:
Live like royalty in this dramatic fairytale mountain home in idyllic Sagle, Idaho. This exquisite home sits on over 30 acres above Lake Pend Oreille and affords a sprawling compound consisting of five separate dwellings. Let’s take a look around this week’s “What Can I Get?”.
Unbelievable Acreage And Views Abound At This 30+ Acre Idaho Escape
First, how incredible are those views! It seems as if each building was meant to be. Here, breathtaking snow-capped peaks meets crystal blue waters for a lakefront retreat unlike any other.
According to the listing, “After 15 years of design and non-stop craftsmanship, each building is a work-of-art: the Gatehouse with key-hole windows, the Main House with its remarkable chimney and turrets, the Carriage House with four garages and guest quarters, the Boiler House carved into the mountainside, and the Dean Mine Cabin fashioned after English forest cabins complete with a working water tower, water wheel, and gazebo.”
Heritage Quality Craftsmanship And Design Were Poured Into Every Aspect Of The Idaho Estate
Secondly, we are in awe of this masterful Idaho retreat and the high attention to detail. It’s what the listing calls “heritage quality” and we are here for it!
Listing agent, Cindy Bond told Realtor.com, “I named it Storybook Mountain Estate because it is just right out of a storybook—fashioned after storybook type of architecture.”
The estate comprises 9,342-square-feet and offers everything you (and your family and closest friends) could need to live large along 800-feet of lake shore with zero neighbors or city lights in sight.
“When you look at those views, you could be somewhere in Europe out looking over the ocean,” Bond added. “That’s actually one of the most fascinating things about Lake Pend Oreille: It’s such a large body of water that you’re sure you’re on the ocean. They’re just beautiful and magnificent.”
Reminiscent Of The British Isles With Inspiring Country Cottage Appeal
And per the listing it is “Reminiscent of the British Isles country homes or Carmel-by-the-Sea’s charming cottages.”
We couldn’t agree more! Plus, there is so much to love. From the astounding custom millwork and rich artisan tiles, to the wall-to-wall windows framing pristine waterfront views, no detail is left unturned.
In the main house, a light and airy floorplan unfolds with an open-concept living, kitchen, and bar taking center stage. Exquisite natural stone, coffered ceilings, luxurious baths, designer lighting, and cozy fireplaces abound.
A secondary kitchen, home theatre, game room, and sumptuous guests suites add to the appeal. And aside from the gorgeous spiral staircase, there is an elevator to whisk you away to the floor of your choosing – including an upper level terrace for taking in the views.
A Private Pebble Beach Allows For Exceptional Waterfront Entertaining
Lastly, there are ample opportunities to connect with nature here. A winding pathway leads from the main house to a pebble beach for unforgettable waterfront entertaining. In fact, the estate perfectly embraces natural beauty while providing all the creature comforts for upscale luxury living.
“One of the accomplishments that the sellers were so proud of is creating something that was a perfect blend of modern quality but enchanting and kind of historic-looking,” Bond said. “It’s their fantasy that they created and made real.”
Cindy Bond with Tomlinson Sotheby’s International Realty has listed 1290 Gold Coin Lane, Sagle, Idaho for $8.95 million.
