The property consists of two separate, but adjacent, parcels with a large 3.95 acre piece and another separately deeded 1.1 acre lakefront lot. The larger parcel is located just up the hill and directly above the lakefront parcel. There is a large, cleared pasture for a horse or two if desired. The main house was built in 2004. It is a 3 bedroom, 3 bath home with hardwood, stone and granite tile accents throughout. There is a private deck for each bedroom and tons of glass accentuating the georgeous mountain and lake views. The floor plan includes a large great room overlooking Ellisport Bay and the Cabinet Mountains. There is a very large master bedroom which takes up the entire third floor and is accessed by a huge, real log staircase. This bedroom is to die for with a raised, woodburning stone fireplace, large bathroom with double sinks, linen closet, a two person shower with individually controlled shower heads and a large jet tub. A huge walk-in closet is accessed directly through the bathroom. Home has central heat and air conditioning, fully equipped, modern kitchen and very spacious guest bedrooms. It is also wired for internet access, has cable throughout, and the large flat screen TV which is built into the floor-to-ceiling great room stone fireplace is a killer. The landscaping is professionally done and dramatically accents the natural setting. Deer are frequent visitors to the property, particularly during summer evenings, so care has been taken to landscape with deer-resistant shrubs.
The in-ground sprinkler system keeps everthing green and healthy looking even during dry season. The guest cottage was built in 1974, but after extensive remodeling shows as new. It sports new granite tile countertops, new carpet and tile floors. Wood accents throughout gives it a warm, comfortable feel. It has a large master bedroom with comfortable great room and kitchen. All overlook the lake at Ellisport Bay in East Hope, ID. Property has easy, paved road access year round. It is located is only 18 miles from Sandpoint, ID, and the trip to town is a very beautiful 20 minute drive around the lake. This property is located on the Hope Peninsula in a game preserve next to Sam Owen State Park; wild life abounds. The park borders Drifting Hollow. Just walk across the road to the park's hiking trails which all have stunning views of the lake. The Hope peninsula is where the first North Idaho settlement was established in the early 1800's and where early Indian tribes came in summer for war games at Denton's Slough. Everywhere you look are deer, turkey and bald eagles. Occasionally a moose wanders onto the peninsula as well.  Drifting Hollow is located in a very nice, quiet community on the Hope Peninsula. There are now some year round residents now but even in the summer months there are no crowds. Sandpoint is a mere 20 minutes away but groceries, c-stores, restaurants, hardware stores and even movie rentals are all within 5 minutes. So, if you prefer, you don't even have to go into town. Try out our views which are absolutely unsurpassed; or just walk down the concrete steps next to the dock directly into the lake and take a swim. No one can visit this area of the country and not be amazed at the breathtaking beauty. From Sandpoint, ID follow Idaho Highway 200 around the north side of Lake Pend Oreille for 18 miles. Once you pass through East Hope (0.8 miles past Hope Marine) you turn right onto Peninsula Road toward Sam Owen State Park. | |
