Inside an Architectural Digest Lake House on Blackhawk Lake

Nearly 6,000 square feet of timber, glass and lake views on three private acres, with its own dock in a gated McCall community.

Some houses are built to be looked at. This one was built to be lived in, loudly and often, by a family that loves the lake. Set on about three acres in a private gated community on Blackhawk Lake, 305 Blackhawk Lake Drive was featured in Architectural Digest, and it's easy to see why.

The setting

The house sits among tall pines and aspens that turn gold in the fall, with manicured grounds stepping down to a private dock. Mornings start on the water with a kayak or a boat. Evenings end around the fire pit, watching the light go down across the lake.

A rare sanctuary of style, privacy and lake life, minutes from everything McCall offers.

Inside

Dark timber walls meet walls of glass in the great room, where a long linear fireplace anchors the seating and the lake fills the windows. An open stair rises through the center of the house. The chef's kitchen is built for real cooking, with top-tier appliances and custom finishes, and it opens straight into the dining and living spaces so no one is ever cut off from the view.

Room for everyone

Six bedrooms and four bathrooms are spread across a flowing plan, so a full house still feels private. The primary suite has its own terrace, a spa-like bath and a custom dressing room. For everyone else there's a media lounge, a bunk room built for kids and cousins, an office and a private infrared sauna for the end of a ski day.

Outside

Patios, covered terraces and a long deck over the lake are set up for dinners outside, cocktails at sunset and lazy afternoons. A hot tub and fire pit keep the outdoor season going well into the cold months.
