The Point at Sandpoint-Gorgeous, 360' Waterfront!

The Point at Sandpoint is where dreams become memories. It's your own private, luxury retreat. From the moment you enter the massive double wood doors, you'll feel a part of something magical. Picture two private, wooded acres that open up to a custom home on over 360' of flat Lake Pend Oreille waterfront. Two sandy beaches AND incredible lake and mountain views to the east, south and west await you! The swimming is clear, shallow and warm in summertime. All of this, and you're just moments from the charming shops and restaurants of Sandpoint.

Explore the lake by kayak, canoe, sailboat or motorboat. "Hit it!" waterskiing, wakeboarding or inner tubing right outside your front door. Fish for small mouth bass and rainbow trout off the dock. Build sandcastles on the sandy beach or play croquet on the large, grassy lawn. Schweitzer Mountain is just 12 miles away for winter sports or for hiking, mountain biking and berry picking in the summer. Soak your cares away and enjoy the views in the new Hot Tub.

A wide variety of wildlife can be seen everyday on the property. Osprey's, Bald Eagles, deer, moose, river otters, loons, coots and an abundance of trout and bass.

The home itself was custom designed to reflect the natural beauty of the area and the special relationship the Kooetenai and Pend Oreille native Americans had with this region. Cedar, pine, hickory, granite, slate and large stones are used throughout. Designed by well known architect, Jon Saylor, The Point has separate "pavilions".

The Great Room Pavilion is spacious, yet intimate. Cedar, wood-beam ceilings soar to 24 feet, but the plush, comfortable furnishings keep conversations easy and familiar. Floor to ceiling windows give you the feeling of being surrounded by water. Listen to the lake lap outside as you recline in the sitting area and watch eagles and ospreys hunt for a fresh fish dinner.

A massive river stone fireplace anchors the Great room. Remarkable for its artistic "dry stack" masonry, it burns real wood with ease thanks to an instant gas start. Radiant heat slate floors spread warmth throughout the Great Room, kitchen, breezeway, and powder room.

The heart of any home is its kitchen. The Point is no exception. An immense gourmet workspace allows a commanding view of the Great Room, Lake and guests. Multiple chefs can work freely on the expansive granite counter tops while friends and family gather around the "U" shaped alder bar to watch the culinary action. Stainless appliances, warming drawer, a five burner gas range, a pot filler, and other amenities make the cooking fun and easy.

A true hub, from the kitchen you're just steps to the lawn, deck, breezeway, and media room. An informal dining area right next to the kitchen makes serving easy. Or in the summer dine al fresco on the covered deck with an outdoor ceiling fan to cool you off. The natural gas barbeque right outside the door is perfect for grilling.

The Breezeway Pavilion features an entire glass wall that lifts up and hides above a cedar ceiling -- all at the touch of button. Watch a thunderstorm roll in or walk out to the stone, amphitheatre steps that lead down to a flat, grassy lawn -- perfect for volleyball, croquet or horseshoes (all provided).

The Family Room Pavilion is that perfect escape room for kids and adults. It's stocked with games, kid toys, 52" HD TV, movie and stereo system. A built in window seat holds two additional twin beds for hanging out or sleeping.

The Sleeping Pavilions form a separate wing of the house. Accessed by a long, generous art corridor with deep, plush carpeting and capped off with a solid wood door, the bedrooms offer a serene escape from the rest of the house. This separation allows early and late risers to enjoy themselves without waking the household. ALL bedrooms have incredible lake views!

The Master Bedroom Pavilion offers a beautiful King size bed, luxury linens, private patio, and an adjoining "serenity" room filled with books and a desk. The Master Bath is luxurious with a Jacuzzi tub for 2, granite countertops, slate shower with 2 showerheads and a separate dressing area. Additional bedrooms offer a Queen maple sleigh bed, a double bunk room (4 Twins), a 3rd Guest room with Queen pillowtop, and 2 Twin beds in the Family Room Pavillion window seat. Sleeps 12 very spaciously and comfortable. The Point at Sandpoint. Where Dreams Become Memories!
