Kent's Sandpoint, Idaho Blog

This is getting ridiculous.  My listings are looking like a travelogue in Utopia.  Here is another one: 750 RUSTLING LEAF ROAD (CLICK HERE TO VIEW MLS LISTING) How much is the view alone worth?  I guess it depends on what it is that makes us whole.  For some of us, this is all we need.  There is ...

The winds were calm on Kootenai Bay.  The Sandpoint air was still... with just a hint of chill in the air.  It was the perfect night for a bonfire and the never ending quest for inspiration.  I was inspired enough to grab my camera and document the moment.  We wait all winter for the inevitable p...

22 Crooked Ear Court in "The Cottages" on Kootenai Bay is a craftsman's masterpiece...a unique combination of native North Idaho stone hand placed to create 18 inch thick walls with authentic, doweled timber-frame infrastructure.  This is a one-of-kind family enclave that exudes warmth and securi...

Well, this is worth a blog!  USA Today/Rand McNally spent several weeks on the road with the goal of discovering the most spectacular towns in America.  (Click here to see the article).  The results are not all that surprising.  Sandpoint took the honor of MOST BEAUTIFUL!   (Below is a photo of t...

Most who read my blog know that I coach the Sandpoint High School tennis team (when I'm not playing full-time Realtor).  As a result, I get a fair amount of inquiries about the availability of "tennis properties" here.  In fact, I get a fair amount of inquiries asking if anyone "really" knows how...

It has been awhile since I have written a "hyper-local" post but, right now, I just can't help myself.  I have owned property in Sandpoint, Idaho (75 miles north of Spokane, WA) since 1978.  In all those years, I have never found myself in the famous Anthony's Restaurant situated directly on top ...

(This Listing Has Sold!) Condo Del Sol, 301 Iberian Way (unit 223), is located right in the heart of South Sandpoint and walking distance to all of the "downtown" Sandpoint amenties including our reknowned City Beach, eateries & coffee shops galore, the famous Panida Theater, shopping, fine dini...

Living in Sandpoint definitely has its rewards.  Being a Coldwell Banker Realtor® on Schweitzer Mountain is reward enough...no doubt, but coaching the Sandpoint High School tennis team takes "rewards" to a whole new level. It's all about the kids and these kids are amazing!  This Spring, Sandpoin...

People often ask me, "How do you like working on the mountain?  What's it like in the summer?"   My reply? "This is THE greatest place to work...and even better to play!"  It's true, Schweitzer had an EPIC snow year with some of the best powder skiing The Rockies have ever seen but summer can be ...

It has not been a "perfect Spring" for most of us this year...Sandpoint included.  It was nice to wake up this morning to a real Spring day!  After 3 hours of tennis this morning, one hour devoted to real estate and a few hours working in the yard...this is how the day ended.  A "Corona Moment". ...
