171 Mountain Lake Vista Dr

A remarkable North Idaho retreat where dramatic architecture, exceptional craftsmanship and sweeping Lake Pend Oreille views come together in an unforgettable setting. Designed to embrace its surroundings, this substantial home is defined by impressive timber-frame/post-andbeam construction, exposed structural trusses and a soaring great room framed by three walls of glass, floor to ceiling, overlooking the lake and surrounding mountains. At the heart of the home, the two-story great room creates an immediate sense of arrival. Massive timbers, intricate exposed joinery and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace bring warmth and architectural character, while expansive glass draws the magnificent landscape indoors. The result is a space that feels both grand and inviting, with the lake providing an ever-changing backdrop. Generous living and entertaining spaces flow throughout the home, complemented by extensive natural woodwork and thoughtfully positioned windows that capture views from room after room. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, generous workspace and an easy connection to the dining and gathering areas, making the home equally suited to quiet everyday living or hosting family and friends. The upper level continues the architectural drama with an open gallery overlooking the great room, showcasing the remarkable timber construction from an entirely different perspective. A spacious secondary living area provides another comfortable place to gather, relax or enjoy the views. Bedroom accommodations are exceptionally generous. The expansive primary suite feels like a private retreat, with room for a sitting area and workspace, cedar sided walk-in closet, private outdoor access and beautiful lake and mountain views. Additional ensuite bedrooms with baths provide excellent flexibility for family and guests. Outdoor living is an integral part of the property, with decks positioned to take full advantage of the spectacular setting. Whether enjoying morning coffee above the lake, gathering around the fireplace after a day outdoors or watching the changing light move across the mountains, this is a home designed around the North Idaho experience. Warm, substantial and architecturally distinctive, this is far more than a home with a view--it is a true mountain-lake retreat where craftsmanship, scale and the beauty of Lake Pend Oreille take center stage.
