Kent's Sandpoint, Idaho Blog

Welcome to the Cottages On The Lake...the European influenced waterfront community on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille, Sandpoint, Idaho! The 15-acre Cottages community features 37 homesites surrounding the three-acre Rothenburg Park and/or resting on the Kootenai Bay shore. Other features includ...

  I see Tom (above) virtually every day when I drive to the office on Schweitzer Mountain.  He is VERY protective of his brood of 10 females.  I always thought of wild turkeys as scrawny with lots of dark meat.  This guy looks like he is ready for the Thanksgiving table right now.    

                                                   Owning waterfront in Whiskey Jack Circle (Lot 3, specifically) can be both a Blessing & a Curse.  Let’s count the “Blessings” first: 1)    Whiskey Jack Circle rests on the shores of Kootenai Bay on Lake Pend Oreille in Sandpoint, Idaho 2)    Lake...

I hear comparisons of Sandpoint with Alaska over & over.  In fact, there are many former Alaskans living here in North Idaho as they try to come close to duplicating their experience in the 49th state without the inconvenience of living so far away from the rest of us down here in the "48 contigu...

LOCATION • LOCATION • LOCATION We all have different motivations for why we have selected to live where we live.  How’s this for motivation: New, never lived-in, cedar home located at 1662 Upper Pack River Road just minutes from the entrance to The Selkirk Crest Wilderness Area and some of North ...

AHHH, February.  This is the month everyone waits for.  The snow is soft and plentiful, the frigid days are "mostly" behind us and the skiing is spectacular.  Valentine's Day on Schweitzer Mountain is always a good day! Enjoy the view from the top of White Lightning above the Great Basin quad!  N...

The more often we can see the beauty in this world, the better the world will be.  Sandpoint, Idaho...it NEVER disappoints. Sunset...February 2, 2011.  Up until this event happened, it had been a somewhat stressful day.  Coming home to this changed all that.  Life is good.  

  It was a busy day today.  I showed some clients around the mountain (SCHWEITZER MOUNTAIN, that is) and they were duly impressed. They’re great clients and very savvy to the declining market scenario.  The question is, how long do they wait to find the bottom of the market.  ...and when it arriv...

OK.  Here goes my first attempt at video marketing.   The (hopefully) correctly imbedded video is of my new listing on Schweitzer Mountain...The Ridge.  This afternoon, a potentially massive snow storm is approaching from the North.  If you had a home on The Ridge, you could watch all the storms ...
