Arriving through a private gated hillside enclave just east of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho-Talis is a newly completed legacy estate where privacy, craftsmanship, and panoramic beauty meet at an extraordinary level. This 11,000-square-foot residence was personally designed and built by its creator as the culmination of a lifetime devoted to building exceptionally well. Set on 3.77 acres with no visible neighbors, the property offers a rare sense of seclusion only minutes from the amenities of town. Inside, the defining first impression is unforgettable: stepping through the front door, your eye is drawn through a dramatic 60-inch two-way fireplace to the lake and mountains beyond. Towering 26-foot ceilings are framed by monumental hand-hewn Douglas Fir beams, custom milled and crafted with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery. Walls of windows flood the interiors with natural light while framing the surrounding landscape like living art. The home's mountain lodge architecture is timelessly suited to North Idaho, pairing grandeur with warmth. European white oak floors, Spanish limestone tile, handcrafted timber trusses, and substantial stonework across the estate create a palette of natural sophistication. The chef's kitchen is both elegant and innovative, featuring bespoke cabinetry, expansive stone surfaces, and PITT Cooking burners seamlessly integrated into the countertop. Designed equally for everyday comfort and elevated entertaining, the residence includes six bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, beautiful office spaces, theater room, fitness areas, guest accommodations, and a remarkable 3,500-bottle wine room. Outdoors, resort-style amenities include a heated saltwater pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, firepit, manicured lawn, expansive terraces, and a large four-car garage. Further enhancing the lifestyle offering, the property includes an arrangement for a boat slip on Lake Coeur d'Alene, allowing effortless access to one of the region's most coveted recreational assets. Built without compromise and impossible to replicate, Talis is more than a home--it is a generational North Idaho estate of enduring quality and rare presence.
