Nestled between pine-covered mountains and overlooking a glittering lake, The Club at Black Rock in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, offers residents their own private getaway in a breathtaking setting. Lauded by any as a best-kept secret among luxury destinations, Patricia Schultz, author of 1,000 Places To See Before You Die, calls Coeur d'Alene "one of the Pacific Northwest's most beautiful locations, a gem"-a fitting accolade for the hottest golf destination in the Gem state.

 

With 726 home sites - ranging in price from $375,000 to $2,000,000 and set on lots spanning from one-quarter acre to more than four acres - each site features panoramic views of the lake, mountains, golf course or all three. Members have access to a host of amenities, including an equestrian center, spa, and the on-site, private, 18-hole Jim Engh-designed golf course. Perfectly sculpted to blend in with and enhance the natural surrounding vistas, it was named "Best new Private Course" by Golf Digest in 2003.

 

While many residents select to construct their own custom homes, members can also opt to purchase one already furnished, like those of the Village, lavishly appointed and set on communal cul-de-sacs, conveniently closer to neighbors and friends. For the outdoor enthusiast, the member cabins employ all the modern conveniences, set in a rustic 19th-century décor, while those preferring the links might opt for a Golf Cottage, overlooking the course. Whether looking for a second home to connect with family and friends, or a secluded home to retreat to get away from it all, membership at the Club at Black Rock provides a little something for everyone.
