To prove that the state of Washington’s most outstanding real estate isn’t all located around Seattle and Puget Sound, this 918-acre woodland and lake outpost in the far reaches of the northeast corner of the state near the Pend Oreille River is the perfect example of over-the-top elegant rusticity. Surrounded by forest, wildlife and on a 150-acre lake, this vast cultivated expanse of nature promises to keep the owner and their guests grounded and centered whether it was their initial intention or not.

Though once occupied by the Pend Oreille Indians, a French name meaning "earring" given to the tribe because of the large shell earrings they wore, Pend Oreille County was known also for its lead and zinc mines, the loose, surface "placer" gold found on top of the ground and its large timber industry, notable for its export of cedar poles used by the utility companies. But since its initial timber and mineral rush, the land along the Pend Oreille River is now somewhat tamed with upscale vacation homes south of the Box Canyon Dam. To the north of the dam, the more adventurous can still enjoy the wildness of its many lakes, thousands of acres of forest and mountains reaching heights of 7,500 feet.

The main home is a log mansion of 12,017 square feet with four bedrooms and five baths on the edge of a 150-acre lake with dock and boat fleet. The 8,000-square-foot attached log building that houses the indoor swimming pool and spa, with its glass walls and tall vaulted ceiling also provides a well appointed changing room with separate sauna and tiled steam room. Other property highlights include multiple furnished homes that include an entire separate building for staff, open pastures and paddocks, equestrian barn, rifle range, workshop and a fleet of recreational and maintenance vehicles.
