Lake Estate

New Vision for Lodge Living

Coeur d’Alene, Idaho

Land Expressions was brought onto the design team for this 7 acre estate primarily for their expertise in water features, grading and rock work. The site for the 25,000 square foot home on Lake Coeur d’Alene’s water front required extensive grading and excavation. Natural springs throughout the site were to be contained to make building possible. A steep denuded hillside resulted which required extensive retaining and restoration. The constraints of the difficult site combined with the client’s goals for a mature and natural appearance were well served by the broad skill set of Land Expressions’ design and construction teams.
