Location, Location, Location!  

Located three blocks from all the great downtown shops, restaurants, pubs and the public beach. Guests can stroll around scenic South Sandpoint or walk to their desired downtown location for a drink, dining or shopping! The Third Street Pier is across the street from the property and makes for a great spot to watch amazing sunrises and sunsets after spending an active day in Sandpoint.   

The property is in the heart of the very popular South Sandpoint area, and is a short drive to Schweitzer Mountain Resort (13 miles), the Idaho Club golf course (10 miles) or Dover Bay (3 miles).    

Silverwood Theme Park is 29 miles, Couer d’ ALene is 45 miles and Spokane is 75 miles from the property. Out of town guests typically fly into Spokane Airport (GEG) and have an easy 1.5 hour and scenic drive down interstate 90 to the 95 right into Sandpoint.          

A large estate property.  Ideal for families, groups or special occasions.  

The house has 5 bedrooms, a loft, 5 full baths, 2 half baths and a media room and is approximately 7,500 square feet and sits on almost an acre of land. There are 11 beds, two futons, several comfy Staton made couches and the house can comfortably accommodate up to 18 overnight guests. This gated property is surrounded by scores of American Arborvitae trees soaring over 50 feet which creates a private oasis for guests to enjoy a very special get away.      

Summer is a great season to be in Sandpoint and stay at the Newport Plums Estate.  

North Idaho and Sandpoint are well known for their incredible opportunities for outdoor adventure. Lake Pend Oreille offers great water sports activities including boating, water skiing, kayaking and world-class fishing. There are several nearby boat launches  including Memorial Field and the downtown Sandpoint Marina and many guests bring their watercraft along with them.    

There are dozens of nearby biking and hiking trails of all different levels of intensity. There is a world-class golf course at the Idaho Club that is simply spectacular, but be prepared to lose some balls as this is a Signature Jack Nicklaus course. If you are in town for any of the summer festivities in Sandpoint (including Back to the 50s, the Sandpoint Festival or the 4th of July parade), you will be walking distance from all the action. 

Great summer amenities.   

The home includes the only private junior olympic sized pool in South Sandpoint and a custom made stainless steel jacuzzi by Diamond Spa that is encased in a custom made wood deck that is covered from the elements.  The large living room includes accordion doors made by Laquinta which open to the pool deck which allow for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Guests can enjoy alfresco dining on chase lounges on the pool deck. New outdoor pool deck lights create a great ambiance to continue the good times rolling well after the sun sets.  

Enjoy the best of both worlds in Sandpoint by staying at the Newport Plums Estate in the Winter.   

The property is an ideal venue for a group or family coming to town to enjoy winter fun at the Schweitzer Mountain Resort, the newest addition to the prestigious Ikon Pass list of top ski resorts in the world.     

Guests staying at the Newport Plums during the winter get to enjoy the “best of both worlds” that Sandpoint has to offer in that they get to ski all day to their heart’s content at Schweitzer, and get to dine out or enjoy the shopping at the nearby downtown restaurants, pubs and shops. While the restaurants and businesses at Schweitzer Village are also terrific, they shut down in the early evening while Sandpoint's downtown pubs, restaurants and other nearby businesses are just getting going. 

For serious winter sports lovers who like to ski and get into the jacuzzi we have created the ultimate spa experience for our guests. Unwind after a day on the slopes of Schweitzer under a plexiglass canopy and enjoy our custom-made stainless steel spa by Diamond Spa that includes numerous extra soothing and powerful jets.               

There are several ways to get to Schweitzer from the property. There is free parking and shuttle service available at the Red Barn Park & Ride area at the base of Schweitzer. There is a also a free shuttle service available from the Red Barn Park to the lift stations.
