I fell into a deep state of depression when I saw that this place sold in December of 2018. My dream of winning the lottery and buying my dream home were put off for the foreseeable future. I still want to share it with you, because it is truly unbelievable. I mean, it’s on it’s own island, as in only accessible by boat, and it’s about as remote as it gets. Yes, I’m in love.

First the stats: built by commercial real estate mogul Donald Abbey, this monster is 32000 sq ft and sits on 24 private acres. It neighbors Glacier National Park, so the privacy and solitude is unprecedented. The lake is one of the three cleanest lakes in the world. The main house has 5 bedrooms and 8 baths is 24000 sq ft and 10000 square feet of outdoor entertaining spaces, some heated. The entire structure sits on a granite foundation.
He originally listed it for $78 million but it was reduced over the years to just under $14 million.
The main house has a home gym overlooking the lake, an unbelievable wine room, is bathed in hand carved mahogany, natural stone, and, Dude, it has an indoor gun range. A big one.
There is a utility building and an 1,800 square foot workshop on the property that is styled the same as the main home and guest house. The total building space on the estate is more than 44000 square feet, with space remaining on the island for three more compounds.

Views of the house and island:
The guest house/boat house has two additional bedrooms and four bathrooms and houses another double boat garage. Before I skim over that little fact, let me tell you… There is a rail system that takes the boat from the lake directly into the boat house with a garage door that drops guests INSIDE the house. Seriously? Coolest thing ever. The guest house is 5289 sq ft with nice amenities like two granite fireplaces and a steam room.
