825 winter ridge road

Perched high above the pristine waters of Lake Pend Oreille, this extraordinary estate offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and exceptional development potential. Encompassing substantial acreage along a secluded ridgeline, the property captures sweeping, unobstructed views of the lake and surrounding mountain ranges while providing a level of seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find. At the heart of the estate is a beautifully designed modern mountain compound featuring a primary residence with four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, complemented by a separate guest home offering three bedrooms, three bathrooms, loft space, and 3,081 square feet of additional living area. Together, the residences create an ideal setting for multigenerational living, executive retreats, or hosting family and guests in complete comfort and privacy. The true value lies in the land itself. With expansive open areas, multiple potential building sites, and significant distance from neighboring properties, the estate offers remarkable flexibility for future development--whether as a legacy family compound, additional guest residences, or a private retreat designed to evolve over time. Walls of glass, exposed timber beams, and thoughtfully curated indoor and outdoor spaces frame the surrounding landscape at every turn. Terraces, stonework, and landscaped grounds provide front-row views of sunrise over the lake and sunsets behind the mountains, while bald eagles, deer, and a resident herd of elk reinforce the property's extraordinary connection to the natural environment. Located near Hope and just a short drive to Sandpoint and Schweitzer Mountain Resort, this one-of-a-kind North Idaho estate offers unmatched privacy, architectural sophistication, and long-term upside in one of the Inland Northwest's most sought-after destinations.
