The Story
211 Daybreak Drive
Located in Pristine Heights, five minutes from downtown Sandpoint, this thoughtfully designed custom home offers a rare combination of modern mountain architecture, exceptional construction, and immediate access to one of North Idaho's premier outdoor recreation areas. Greta's Segway Trail and Pine Street Woods are just steps away, while this three acre property borders approximately four acres of neighborhood common area. From the main living spaces, elevated views through the forest canopy create the feeling of living in a modern treehouse, with beautiful views toward Baldy Mountain. The goal wasn't simply to build an energy efficient house. It was to create a healthier home. One that is quieter, more comfortable, more durable, and designed to perform for decades. Built with Passive House level airtightness, R-40 double stud exterior walls, radiant hydronic heated floors, and a premium Zehnder fresh air ventilation system, the home maintains remarkably consistent temperatures while continuously providing filtered fresh air throughout the year. The result is an indoor environment with exceptional comfort, outstanding air quality, minimal drafts, and a level of quiet that is immediately noticeable the moment you walk through the door. Thoughtful design continues throughout with Marvin Essential fiberglass windows, a standing seam metal roof, passive solar orientation, a SpacePak air-to-water heat pump, soapstone wood stove, and modern low maintenance exterior materials selected for long term durability and performance. The property also offers room to grow with approved plans for a future one bedroom ADU, an oversized septic system designed for that expansion, dedicated 220-volt power, and space for a future shop or additional guest accommodations. Beautifully designed, exceptionally built, and perfectly positioned just minutes from Sandpoint, this is a home where thoughtful architecture, healthy living, and the North Idaho lifestyle come together in a way that is rarely available.
