Location: Gotham Bay, Coeur d'Alene Lake, Idaho, USA (Coeur D'Alene, 15min Boat. 35 Min Car)
Accommodations: Lakefront Home, 4 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 4-10)
Homeport is a spectacular waterfront, octagon shaped, cedar chalet with stone accents. It’s nestled in the side of the lush, quiet lakeside mountains with a bird's-eye-view of the distant city lights of the bustling Coeur D’Alene Town and Resort.
The home features an open floor plan with Tempest Brazilian Hardwood floors, open natural wood beams and Italian granite counter tops in the baths and the gourmet kitchen. There are two gas log fireplaces, two laundries (on separate floors) and three large, full baths.
The spacious master suite on the main floor has a luxurious master bath. It includes a deep, lounging tub with a waterfall spout and a separate shower with two soaking shower heads. The suite opens to the wrap around deck, where the lake views are absolutely magnificent!
The second bedroom has twin beds. The large guest bath, also on the main floor, includes washer and dryer. The very large upper (3rd) level guest bedroom also has awesome, 180 degree lake views.
The very large, lower level suite features living quarters and entertainment environment that are nearly self contained. Offering a wet bar, ice maker, fireplace and poker game table, it also has a large plasma screen TV with surround sound and DVD player. With floor to ceiling windows, you will enjoy the beautiful lake views and all that Mother Nature has to offer. This area opens to a covered patio with a gas grill and fire pit. This is where you will find steps leading down to the 100’ of private lakefront and docks.
Jump off the docks into crystal clear fresh water. Put your Jet Ski, Kayak, or Row Boat on the separate jet ski lift for rapid launch and retrieval. Drop a line off the dock (no need for a license off the dock) with a very good chances of catching a small mouth bass. Temporary fishing license available for fishing off boats. Fly Fishing is renowned in and around Lake Coeur d'Alene.
Bring your Cameras (both Photo and Video). Bike Trails are exceptional with some running thru converted train tracks with marvelous mountain and lake views as well as close up views of remarkable wildlife.
There is a large paved drive and immediately adjacent parking area. More than enough room for a motor home and miscellaneous recreational equipment such as ATV's, boat trailers, etc.
Breakfast on the elevated, wrap-around deck off the kitchen/dining room while the swallows flying by; often landing on the railing to say hello. Several birds nests are nestled into crooks and crannies around the property.
At night this is a fabulous place to watch extraordinary sunsets over cocktails. We often sit on the same deck into the wee hours of the cool summer nights (occasionally warmed by an cozy overhead propane heater) watching the sparkle of the Coeur d'Alene Resort lights. The moon views are arguably some of the best in the world.
You will routinely see deer in and around the property. Moose, wild turkeys, eagles, and many more of the Mountain's creatures can be seen around this part of the Lake.
Take a 5 min ride by car (or short boat ride) over to "Eddy's," one of several nearby lakeside Restaurants. The local Country Store and Marina ("Hudsons") is a mere 10 min car ride (or another short boat ride). Gas pumps for cars and also gas pumps for boats at the lower Marina.
There is an abundance of rental recreation equipment available around the greater Coeur d'Alene Town area ( boat, ATV, motor home, jet ski, kayak, etc.).
Well over 100 miles of shore line to explore not to mention the many surrounding rivers and streams offering boating, kayaking, and fishing delight.
This is our "dream" home away from home. We know you will make very special memories with family and friends. Memories that will surely last a lifetime!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
Kathleen and I have been married for 39 wonderful years. We have a beautiful family, 2 grown children & 4 grandsons. We spend all of our free time with them and traveling the world.
Why the Owner Chose Gotham Bay
It's like stepping back in time. Lake Coeur D'Alene is listed in the book "1,000 Places To See Before You Die". We didn't know that when we were there for a business trip, we fell in love with the area and bought this house after only a week!
The Unique Benefits of this Lakefront Home
We love the water, the swimming, fishing and boating. The bike trails are fabulous fun.
