t's not often that one stumbles across a home that can be rightly
considered the total package. But this Adirondack-style show-
piece perched along the idyllic southern shores of Northern Idaho's
picturesque Lake Coeur d'Alene has the works—from painstaking
attention to detail to captivating lake views to impressive amenities
and more. Definitely a one-of-a-kind personal retreat, this castle-esque
property also offers the ultimate in privacy, ideal for detaching from
the rest of the world.
"It would take decades to amass 900 feet of waterfront in Coeur d
Alene," says Cody Funk, who is co-listing the estate with Ed Kamin-
sky for $30 million. "With an average lot size of 75 feet of frontage, it
would take a lifetime to collect enough properties to have that sense of
privacy and security. ere just [is] not another place like this on the
lake, nor is there an opportunity to have one of that size on the lake
again. I cannot stress how spectacular, or rare, it is for an estate like
this to be made available to the public. Our seller has put together an
unbeatable package."
What's more, Kaminsky notes, this superlative getaway also provides
complete seclusion from the neighbors. "Whether you are entertaining
300 guests or you just want to escape from the world's woes on your
own," he says, "you'll never feel more protected and calmed after you
step foot behind the gates of Skypine Estate."
Built in summer 2011, this timber and stone-clad, Eric Hedlund-de-
signed home can be found beyond a gated entry and paved half-mile
driveway. It offers more than 16,000 square feet of grand living space
highlighted by lavish design touches, including soaring ceilings, wide
doorways, six propane fireplaces, and a Crestron home-automation
system that operates shades, doors, cameras and whole-house audio
with the touch of a finger. Among the highlights: four, fully furnished
en-suite bedrooms (including a stunning master suite with its own office,
exercise/yoga room, and spa-like bath with steam shower), as well as a
theater, cigar room, and finished basement outfitted with a game room,
full bath and direct beach access.
As impressive as the main house might be, however, the outside
environs truly elevate the residence to top-tier status. Multiple covered
stone terraces and enclosed porches, a Las Vegas-inspired waterfall
and a secluded sandy beach are just the beginning. e resort-like resi-
dence also includes a 2,400-square-foot boathouse with a total of eight
In Idaho's magical cit y of Coeur d 'Alene, this meticulously designed
lakeside gem is both world-class resort and pictorial playground.
