The Story
1898 Eagen Mountain Drive
There are views---and there are destinations defined by their views. Overlooking Idaho's largest lake--one of the deepest and most spectacular natural lakes in the American West--this exceptional 7.5-acre mountain estate occupies one of North Idaho's most extraordinary settings. Perched high above Lake Pend Oreille, the property captures more than 180 degrees of uninterrupted panorama sweeping from the sparkling waters of the lake to Sandpoint, Schweitzer Mountain and the Selkirk Range, then south across the Green Monarch Mountains, the Sagle and Sunnyside Peninsulas, and the distant Cabinet Mountains. Every season, every storm, and every sunset transform the landscape into a living work of art. At the heart of the estate is a beautifully handcrafted timber-frame lodge that embodies refined North Idaho mountain living. Soaring tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, massive exposed beams, artisan stonework, and walls of glass showcase the remarkable scenery from nearly every room, creating a seamless connection between the warmth of the home and the grandeur beyond. Rich natural materials, timeless craftsmanship, and thoughtful design create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and welcoming. Designed to celebrate the surrounding landscape, the residence features a spacious great room, chef's kitchen, beautifully appointed baths, dramatic loft, and a private primary suite with French doors opening to a lake-view deck where mornings begin with breathtaking sunrises and evenings conclude beneath brilliant North Idaho skies. Complementing the residence is an exceptional 1,700-square-foot finished timber-frame workshop offering remarkable flexibility for craftsmen, hobbyists, recreational equipment, or studio space. A mountainside greenhouse, RV hookup, beautifully established landscaping, and inviting outdoor living spaces further enhance the property's versatility and appeal. Equally compelling is the estate's extraordinary potential. With ample room to construct a significant luxury residence while preserving the existing lodge as an exceptional guest quarters, executive retreat, or multigenerational residence, the property offers the rare opportunity to create a legacy estate without compromising its privacy, breathtaking views, or natural beauty. Despite its peaceful mountain setting, the property is just minutes from Hope and within easy reach of Sandpoint, Schweitzer Mountain Resort, boating on Lake Pend Oreille, thousands of acres of National Forest, and the exceptional four-season recreation that defines North Idaho. Rarely does a property unite an irreplaceable setting, timeless craftsmanship, exceptional privacy, and extraordinary future potential so effortlessly. More than a remarkable home, this is an exceptional legacy property.
