The Temp in Hayden, Idaho is 63 Degrees With a High of 80: Second Home Nirvana

Now here’s a home to cool you off. You’ll be wearing a sweater up here tonight and totally chilling on beautiful, crystal clear Lake Hayden. (You are about 45 miles east of Spokane, but who cares?) This amazing home has 142′ of deepwater frontage on one of the largest lots in an area known as English Point, only a 1/4 mile hike from National & State Forests. The huge, 4100 square foot plus, three bedroom home was built in 1960 and has a Brady Bunch quality about it, but is a contemporary northwest waterfront masterpiece completely (and tastefully) remodeled in 2009. Talk about family get-togethers: the open floor plan has dinner seating for 28 people! Absolute 180 degree waterfront views. The main house has an exercise spa and pilates room, as if swimming won’t be enough exercise. To recover, go fetch a bottle or two from the wine cellar. There are three separate buildings total, all with lake views, boat docks amd a charming guest home which I’d take right about now! The home is listed at $1, 350,000 but from what I’ve read, the whole state of Idaho is one big fire sale. Nearest airport would be Spokane, but you could always fly into the FBO at Coeur D’Alene.

Update: I’m told they are having a heat wave in Hayden today: 91 degrees. It’s freezing!
