Mike and I love to travel and enjoy outdoor pursuits such as horseback riding and camping, flying airplanes and airplane camping, and boating. We are longtime Sandpoint residents with a deep knowledge of and love for the area. We both graduated from Sandpoint High School, and Mike has been living on the property at Hawkins Point his entire life. As partners, we have worked together since 2014 on his home and the rest of the property and made it available for people to experience our rural, lakefront ranch. We're very proud of the property and we're excited to share it with friendly, appreciative guests.
The family has owned the land at Hawkins Point on Lake Pend Oreille since 1944, when Mike's grandfather bought about 300 acres here, which included a barn and floating boathouse. The boathouse was home on the lake until 1953 when it was dragged up to shore, where it now sits as the core of the home at Hawkins Point. Mike spent many happy times here with his grandparents and inherited the house after they passed on. Over the years, he built additions and improved upon the house in many ways.
At Hawkins Point, this historic spot is the former site of a railway and steamboat stop. Today, it is home to the Hawkins Point Public Boat Dock and lands managed by Idaho Fish and Game as wildlife habitat.
We live in an outdoor paradise, and we enjoy sharing our pieces of paradise with others.
