Above the Lake

HOME TOUR · WORLEY, IDAHO

A Custom Log Lodge at the Top of the Mountain, With Lake Coeur d’Alene Spread Out Below

One hundred thirty private acres of pine, fir and aspen. A log home trimmed in antler from the stair rail to the chandeliers. And at the end of the day, a lake view that turns gold, then rose, then dark.

A private drive winds up through the pines.

It climbs, and keeps climbing, until the trees open up.

And there you are, at the top of the mountain, with the whole valley yours to look at.

A Log Home Built to Last

Built in 2007, the home celebrates the craftsmanship of traditional log construction.

Five thousand four hundred square feet of custom logs under a green roof that settles right into the timber around it.

Four bedrooms. Four baths. An office with a view you would never tire of.

The Antlers Are the Story

Step inside, and here is the detail that stops people.

The staircase railing is made of antler. Handcrafted, piece by piece, climbing alongside the logs.

It is the kind of craftsmanship you do not find twice.

And the antlers do not stop at the stairs.

Custom antler chandeliers hang through the house, catching the light and throwing it back across the wood.

The Great Room

Stone and log. Fire and glass.

The great room is built around a wall of windows on one side and a stone fireplace on the other.

Pull a chair close to the fire, and you still have the whole mountain in view.

Where Everyone Gathers

The house was made for company.

The kitchen, the bar and the dining table all sit in one open sweep, sharing the same view and the same conversation.

Long winter breakfasts. Supper after a day in the mountains.

Another chair pulled up to the table, because nobody is quite ready to leave.

Rest, With a View

The primary suite is a retreat inside a retreat.

Wake up to the trees. Fall asleep to nothing at all.

And the tub sits right where it should, facing the view.

The Land Around It

Beyond the yard, the mountain is wild.

Stands of pine, Douglas fir and aspen. Natural springs. Brushy draws where the deer and elk move through.

Moose wander by. Turkey and grouse too. Even the occasional bear.

And for all that privacy, town is close.

Coeur d’Alene is about twenty minutes away. Spokane is about thirty-five.

Where the Evening Goes

Outside, the house keeps going.

A covered log patio leads out to a custom log gazebo over the hot tub, and below it all, the valley rolls out for miles.

Then the fire gets lit.

The sky goes gold, then rose. The valley goes quiet.

And If You’ve Fallen for It

Here is the lovely part.

It’s available.

Some homes are built to impress. This one was built of log and stone, at the top of a mountain, for the long view.

Morning coffee by the windows. Supper under the antler chandelier. The fire, the lake, the last light.

The next chapter on this mountain is yours to begin.
