3 bedroom 2 bath Home Sandpoint Home Located Base of Schweitzer Mountain

Sandpoint Realty recent listing (courtesy Rain Silverhawk) is an excellent example of location-location-location.

Just at the upper portion of the aerial you can see the home at the outskirts of Sandpoint Idaho & Ponderay Idaho city limits. Marked are some nearby well known locations. Also within the same radius, and not marked, are several restaurants, hotels, medical, grocery, Post Office, multi screen theater, and of course a fast food haven along Hwy 95.

Also of note should be that Schweitzer Ski Resort Village is but 9 miles from their base Park & Ride, if one chooses to drive rather than take the shuttle. Access to Highway 95 (highway 2 leg to Bonners Ferry) and Highway 200 (to Clark Fork and Hope Idaho) very simple and accessible.

As seen in the short YouTube video above the home alone, on this very sought after and secluded street, is reason enough to set up a time to view, if not at least ask for additional information. Add the benefits of these city comforts, shown on the aerial, all being less than 2 miles away, and this a must see home in Sandpoint Idaho.

North Idaho Winter Snow

Warmer temperatures have helped clearing of snow from valley floors but only minimally. And the beautiful scenes are not to be spoiled by only a few days of marginally warmer weather. The reality to North Idaho winter storms as in any snow state, is that there are two sides to the coin, scales always kept even, or what ever phrase you care to use. North Idaho Winter Snow brings forth unique serene beauty everywhere, and it also adds work and obstacles for all.

The above picture showing the harsh cold and at the same time beauty found early morning at Windbag Marina in Sandpoint Idaho. Docks filled with sailboats, during the summer and fall months, are surrounded by ice and snow as well as deserted. Wind swept Lake Pend Oreille sits empty. Turning the opposite direction will show Schweitzer Ski Resort to be hidden by low dark ominous clouds.

In contrast to this beauty North Idaho Winter Snow brings obstacles for all. Difficult driving conditions, additional work, freezing pipes, snow removal of all kinds, roofs for business, or personal being extremely important. The 2nd picture is at Bonners Mall in Ponderay. Snow removal for parking being plowed and piled as far out of the way as possible, and yet still obstructing drive ways and parking.

Yet to a person I am guessing we all agree the beauty far outweighs the inconveniences of the latter.

North Idaho December Sunset – Sandpoint

You always want to travel in North Idaho with a camera at hand. Yesterday’s North Idaho December sunset proved just that! Heading from the office to Sandpoint West Athletic Club the skies were showing signs of a colorful sunset. I knew I had no where ‘scenic’ to drive before the possible colors would come and go. Moving west along Highway 2 the spectacular colors opened up in front of me while driving.

While somewhat disappointed I was unable to find the ‘scenic’ location for the sunset photo I did realize how fortunate I am to work and live in an area that I can be witness to such beauty when simply driving from the office to the athletic club to work out. Truly a gorgeous North Idaho December Sunset while driving in Sandpoint Idaho.
