About 162 Blanchard Lake Drive
Uncommon privacy defines this Blanchard Lake retreat at the end of a gated private drive, just seven minutes from downtown Whitefish. Built by Finmark, the home is framed by aspen, birch and conifers, with sculptural architecture that responds beautifully to its secluded lakefront setting. A private dock invites quiet hours fishing or taking in the view, while calm waters lend themselves to paddleboarding.
Deliberate geometry, sculptural lighting and a restrained palette of stone and wood create an extraordinary sense of calm. Lake views draw the eye through the open kitchen, dining and living spaces, complemented by premium appliances, a walk-in pantry and integrated cabinetry.
The primary suite occupies its own wing, concealed behind double doors and appointed with a freestanding tub, generous shower, private water closet and expansive windows that turn the changing seasons into living art.
A floor-to-ceiling glass passage connects the home’s two wings. An accordion slider opens to a three-season room designed for entertaining, with power shades, built-in grill and outdoor television. Three additional bedrooms include one ensuite and two sharing a full bath. Heated bathroom floors, electric blinds and a sizable laundry room add everyday ease. Off the heated three-car garage, a beautifully appointed sauna and raindrop shower create a private spa retreat just steps from the hot tub.
A short walk from the residence, a four-season Arctic yurt with a custom interior by Mindful Designs offers a kitchen, sleeping loft, laundry, heat and air conditioning. Reverse-osmosis systems serve both the house and yurt. A separate heated shop expands the property’s versatility, with in-floor heat and a heated water system for comfortable year-round use.
