Idaho Heaven

High-end duffers and outdoor fans (like Senator John Kerry) have long favored scenic Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. It’s Lake Tahoe without the crowds and Montana without the extreme remoteness. Now, situated above RockfordBay on LakeCoeur d’Alene, The Club at Black Rock offers an award-winning Jim Engh-designed golf course that’s been named one of best new privates in the county by Golf Digest. But outstanding golf is just part of the picture. Black Rock also offers a spectrum of residential opportunities that combine resort-style amenities (including a 31,000 square-foot fully appointed clubhouse, marina, ranch and 24-hour concierge service) with superb mountain and lake views. The development plan calls for 726 home sites that range from quarter-acre to four-acre lots for up to $2 million, and homes such as $1.2 million villages homes and $975,000 golf cottages in 1,800 acres of breathtaking open space. Club membership is an additional $125,000. Phase two calls for an additional Tom Weiskopf-designed course.
