NEWPORT PLUMS ESTATE
The Ultimate South Sandpoint Luxury Estate, Great for Schweitzer Stays (Only 10 Minute Drive) & Walking To The Best Downtown Restaurants, Pubs, Coffee Houses and Shops!
Ski Together. Soak Together. Play Together. Stay Together.
Welcome to Newport Plums Estate, a one-of-a-kind luxury estate in beautiful South Sandpoint, Idaho, offering over 7,500 square feet of living space, extraordinary unique amenities, and accommodations to comfortably fit up to 16 overnight guests, but great for larger gatherings during the day.
Whether you're coming to ski Schweitzer Mountain Resort, enjoy Lake Pend Oreille, the great North Idaho outdoors, celebrate a special occasion, or spend quality time with family and friends, Newport Plums Estate combines the privacy and amenities of a luxury resort with the convenience of being within walking distance of downtown Sandpoint's restaurants, pubs, breweries, shopping, and waterfront attractions.
For winter visitors, we offer the best of both worlds: incredible skiing at Schweitzer by day and an unforgettable luxury retreat by night with the best spa in the Sandpoint area (a custom-made stainless-steel spa) and awesome newly redesigned home theater.
THE ULTIMATE SCHWEITZER SKI VACATION
Spend the day skiing or snowboarding at Schweitzer Mountain Resort, enjoying spectacular scenery, fresh powder, and some of the finest skiing in the Pacific Northwest.
After a full day on the slopes, the fun doesn't have to end!
Instead of returning to a cramped condominium or hotel room, your group can come home to an expansive private estate designed for relaxing and entertaining.
Start your après-ski evening with a soak in our extraordinary covered outdoor spa. Our luxurious stainless-steel Diamond Spa features powerful therapeutic jets, seating for up to eight guests, and beautiful lighting that creates an incredible atmosphere on snowy winter evenings.
There's something magical about relaxing in a steaming outdoor spa after skiing, surrounded by crisp mountain air while sheltered from the elements.
And when you're ready to head inside, the entertainment is just getting started.
YOUR OWN PRIVATE LUXURY MOVIE THEATER
One of the estate's highlights is our newly remodeled private home theater, featuring an enormous 120-inch screen, immersive surround sound, luxurious seating, and a PlayStation 5 gaming system.
Gather your group for a movie after skiing, enjoy streaming entertainment, or let the kids have a gaming night while the adults relax elsewhere.
This dedicated theater makes staying in every bit as enjoyable as going out.
WALK TO DOWNTOWN SANDPOINT — RESTAURANTS, PUBS & NIGHTLIFE
Unlike many vacation properties farther outside town or up on the mountain, our estate places you within easy walking distance of downtown Sandpoint, and all of its great dining options and shops.
After skiing, enjoy the city's outstanding restaurants, lively pubs, craft breweries, wine bars, and locally owned shops.
Whether you're looking for a memorable dinner, a casual burger and beer, cocktails with friends, or an evening exploring downtown, Sandpoint offers a fantastic après-ski atmosphere.
Enjoy the mountain, enjoy the town, and return to your own private luxury retreat.
AN EXTRAORDINARY ESTATE FOR FAMILIES & LARGE GROUPS
Newport Plums Estate was designed for bringing people together.
With five bedrooms plus additional loft accommodations, five full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, expansive gathering spaces, and exceptional entertainment amenities, the estate provides the flexibility larger families and groups appreciate.
Instead of dividing your group among multiple hotel rooms, everyone can stay together, share meals, enjoy activities, and create memories under one roof.
EXPANSIVE LIVING & ENTERTAINING SPACES
One of the estate's most impressive features is its approximately 1,700-square-foot dining and gathering area, offering extraordinary room for large groups.
Multiple comfortable seating areas, fireplaces, and beautifully appointed gathering spaces make it easy for everyone to enjoy the home.
Dramatic accordion-style glass doors open the living spaces directly onto the private pool deck, creating a spectacular indoor-outdoor experience during warmer months.
A GAME ROOM EVERYONE WILL LOVE
Our nostalgic 1950s-themed recreation room features an authentic vintage Brunswick pool table, classic Coke and Pepsi machines, a retro milkshake bar, and a foosball table.
It's the perfect place for friendly competition, relaxing with friends, or entertaining the kids after a day exploring Sandpoint.
GOURMET KITCHEN & DINING FOR THE WHOLE GROUP
Our beautifully remodeled gourmet kitchen features a professional Viking range, two refrigerators, two dishwashers, two sinks, a beverage center, generous countertops, and a large island with seating.
Fully stocked with cookware, utensils, and a Keurig coffee maker, the kitchen is designed for preparing memorable meals together.
The estate also features a newly constructed outdoor stainless-steel gas BBQ and griddle station with covered ventilation, perfect for outdoor entertaining.
LUXURIOUS BEDROOMS & COMFORTABLE ACCOMMODATIONS
Newport Plums Estate features five bedrooms plus additional loft accommodations, with sleeping arrangements well suited to families and groups.
Our extraordinary upstairs primary suite offers approximately 1,100 square feet of private living space, including a king bed, two full beds, a fireplace, sitting area, wet bar, two bathrooms, and spacious walk-in closets.
Additional bedrooms feature comfortable king, queen, and full-size beds, with several rooms accommodating multiple guests. Blackout curtains provide a restful night's sleep after a day of adventure.
With five full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, larger groups enjoy exceptional comfort and convenience.
THE COVERED OUTDOOR SPA — AN APRÈS-SKI EXPERIENCE YOU'LL LOVE
While Schweitzer provides the adventure, our custom Diamond Spa provides the perfect way to unwind.
Unlike an ordinary uncovered hot tub, our luxurious stainless-steel spa sits beneath a specially constructed covered pavilion, allowing guests to enjoy it throughout the year, including during Sandpoint's snowy winters.
Featuring comfortable seating for eight, powerful therapeutic jets, beautiful underwater lighting, and protection from the elements, it's an extraordinary place to relax after skiing or exploring North Idaho.
PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL & SUMMER ENTERTAINING
Newport Plums Estate is equally extraordinary during Sandpoint's beautiful summer months.
Our spectacular junior Olympic-size private swimming pool is surrounded by an expansive deck, comfortable lounge chairs, an outdoor beverage bar, and beautiful landscaping.
Towering arborvitae hedges create a secluded resort-like setting where guests can swim, sunbathe, and relax.
Our outdoor dining areas and covered BBQ kitchen make entertaining easy, while the accordion-style doors seamlessly connect the pool deck with the estate's spacious indoor living areas.
The swimming pool is seasonal, generally available from May through mid-October. Our covered spa is available year-round.
LAKE PEND OREILLE & THE BEST OF SANDPOINT
The estate is situated directly across the street from beautiful Lake Pend Oreille and Sandpoint's Third Street Pier, where guests can enjoy fishing, swimming, and spectacular lake views.
Nearby City Beach offers additional opportunities for swimming, boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, and enjoying the lake.
Downtown Sandpoint's restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, breweries, and attractions are within easy walking distance.
Schweitzer Mountain Resort is approximately 15 minutes away, offering exceptional winter skiing and wonderful summer mountain activities.
PRIVACY, CONVENIENCE & ROOM TO RELAX
Newport Plums Estate offers the feeling of having your own private resort.
Beautiful landscaping, a gated entrance, and towering evergreen hedges provide exceptional privacy.
Additional conveniences include two laundry areas, Wi-Fi, a whole-home audio system, smart-home controls, and a dedicated workspace.
The estate's expansive circular driveway accommodates up to 15 vehicles, making it convenient for larger groups.
WHY STAY AT NEWPORT PLUMS ESTATE INSTEAD OF ON THE MOUNTAIN?
Staying on Schweitzer can be convenient for skiing, but it means spending evenings away from downtown Sandpoint's restaurants, pubs, shops, and nightlife.
At Newport Plums Estate, you can have both.
Spend your days exploring Schweitzer's slopes, then return to Sandpoint for dinner, drinks, and the lively downtown atmosphere.
Afterward, retreat to your private estate for a relaxing soak in the covered spa, a movie in the spectacular theater, a game of pool, or an evening around the fireplace.
Here, the vacation continues long after the lifts close.
PERFECT FOR EVERY SEASON
Newport Plums Estate is ideal for family ski vacations, multigenerational gatherings, reunions with friends, summer lake vacations, golf getaways, and special celebrations.
Few Sandpoint vacation properties offer this combination of space, privacy, location, and entertainment.
A magnificent private estate. A spectacular covered spa. A newly remodeled home theater. A nostalgic game room. A gourmet kitchen. A beautiful seasonal pool. Spacious accommodations. And downtown Sandpoint just a short walk away.
Come for the skiing. Stay for everything else.
We look forward to welcoming you to Newport Plums Estate!

Loved the property and the location - close to town and to the Beach Park. The pool and jacuzzi were great. Plenty of room for our family reunion of 5 families - 14 people ranging in age from 1 to 78. The kitchen and bbq had all the equipment and dishes we needed.
Perfect Location, Plenty of room, loved hanging by pool.
Home is older, and beds kind of stacked together inside rooms, but were all very comfortable. Worked great for our larger group.
Thank you.
Amazing property, amenities and location. Too bad the cherry trees at front of property died due to harsh winter. Would definitely stay here again if we come back. Highly recommended. Very accommodating property managers.
Amazing stay and huge thank you to Brian and Melissa! We had another house booked for our group of 20 people that got flooded just days before our trip. Luckily we found Brian and Melissa house - The Newport Plums Estate and they bent over backwards to accommodate us. Honestly I think it was meant to be as their house was much better. Amazing location right in Sandpoint, the place is a beautiful castle, and the hot tub is the nicest 10 person tub I have ever seen. We look forward to hopefully staying again. Book this house, you will not be disappointed!
The most amazing place for a large crowd!!Brian and Melissa were so wonderful to work with . The home was immaculate with all of the immenities one could need provided. We were able to entertain friends and family at ease! Everyone loved the home and had a great time!
Quite a spectacular house. It was purposefully designed for hosting an event or getting a group of friends or family together. The entire house is centered around a large pool, and there are multiple seating, dining and entertaining areas, all with their own vibe. The kids can hang out in the plush media room, or play pool in the game room while adults gather elsewhere (or vice vice versa!) We had lots of space for game night after skiing all day, and the whole house is well equipped, including lots of kitchen tools, plenty of serving items, two dishwashers, two sets of washer/dryers, and I think 3-4 refrigerator/drink cooler fridges!We'll definitely come back again if it's available!
Amazing home with everything we needed, in a great Sandpoint location for whenever we did venture out! The pool, lounge chairs, tv’s, many comfy beds, AV room, and well-equipped kitchen provided for a fantastic weekend for our group of families. The owners were very responsive and helpful - couldn’t recommend more highly!
We booked Newport Plums Estate for our 50th wedding anniversary weekend to be together with our kids and grandkids. The facility was top rate, the hospitality wonderful and responsive, and our time there a wonderful memory for everyone. Hosts Brian and Melissa went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and special. We highly recommend this venue! Outstanding!!
We were able to house our large family from all over the US comfortably in one place that had more than enough room for our reception which was attended by over 30 people. The house was near the lake and walking distance to downtown. The property manager Mellisa was the best property manager I’ve ever dealt with. She was available 24 hours a day. The house was perfect for family pictures also. I can’t wait to visit again in the summer to use the pool.
The home was beautiful & perfectly equipped. The location was just a short walk to town.
Brian & Melissa were the perfect hosts, always available upon request. They greeted us & showed us through the house upon arrival. The weather was at a 30 year low which caused a few challenges as to proper heating in some of the rooms. An outside pipe burst two days before departure so hot water was an issue. However, we had a wonderful time occupying ourselves in the game room, watching sports & movies on the many tvs as well as family game time.
Great for Large Groups with Something for Everyone!
Our extended family of 13, ages 6 - 60(ish) stayed here in July 2019. We had a great time in Sandpoint and really enjoyed our stay at Newport Estates. The house was a perfect size for us and having the heated pool, hot tub, games room and theatre room definitely added to our stay. Everyone had something to enjoy that suited their tastes. The location was fantastic! Close to the lake and in walking distance of downtown Sandpoint where we shopped, took in the fireworks (Wow! What a show Sandpoint puts on July 4th!), parade and City Beach. The grounds out front of the estate are also beautiful. We did family photos there and the setting was gorgeous.
The large kitchen area with dual dishwashers, fridges plus drink cooler and ice maker made it so easy for us to manage our large group's needs without feeling crowded or like we had to limit the amount food or drinks that we brought in. Having 2 laundry areas also came in very handy.
This was our first visit to Sandpoint and absolutely loved this gem of a place. There is so much to do and our only regret was not having more time to take it all in. We golfed the Idaho Club (so serene!), took in Silverwood/Boulder Creek Adventure Park (amazing time and barely any line ups), Schwitzer Mountain (could have spent a whole day here had we known how much there was to do before we went), shopping, shopping, shopping in downtown Sandpoint, pool days when it was a little cooler and City Beach when it was hot. There was so much we didn't get to do, nature touring - hiking/biking near Sandpoint, shopping in Coure d'alene, horse adventures, and more time taking in the water sports on the lake. The weather didn't co-operate or we would have taken in the lake more. Fortunately, there is so much to do in and around Sandpoint that we never ran out of things to do, even on the cooler days.
If you've never been to Sandpoint it is definitely worth the trip and we would recommend staying at Newport Estates.
Great location, plenty of space, lots of helpful supplies!
Our group of 9 along with our two local friends had enough room to gather, and enough room to do remote work. We much appreciated that we did not have to buy dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry soap, a sponge, etc. Loved the gas range, 2 dishwashers, 2 sinks, 2 washers and 2 dryers, 2 refrigerators, etc. One of the reasons we chose this property was the location. Even though we had multiple rental cars, we often enjoyed walking to restaurants and shops. Oh! And the hot water was always nice and hot! Never ran out even while everyone was showering, laundry was washing, etc. We would defintely stay here again! Thank you Melissa and Brian!
We had such a wonderful time here! We all loved the house, and it was an ideal location for our family vacation. The cousins especially enjoyed time together in the pool!
Brian and Melissa are attentive and responsive hosts, but also very respectful of privacy. Would love to come back!
Amazing home, central location - perfect for large groups
Incredible property in downtown Sandpoint. Our large group of adults included a mix of adventurous skiers & non-skiers. The estate offered a perfect combination of high end amenities + central location with easy access to Schweitzer resort and bars/restaurants in town that everyone was happy with. Owners and property manager were great and very easy to coordinate with. Highly recommend this home for large groups!
We had four generations of family gathered together to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It was a blast. The accommodations were wonderful and provided space for all of us to gather together as well as find some quiet spots to escape. The pool and hot tub were a huge success and provided a source of many hours of enjoyment. The pool room and parlor were great for some evening hours of music and billiards. Everyone had a wonderful time and we may have to consider a return visit in the future
Very large house with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Great pool and great hot tub. Smoke was heavy but we made the best of it. We did a lot of activities around Sandpoint. Cooked several meals together. We were there 10 days. Jackie, the property manager, helped us out a few times when we needed something and very responsive . I gave her a list of some maintenance items that needed attention. The property is not new. But most everything is functioning, just a little dated.
We had an immediate family wedding and a party the next day for friends. The house was lovely and accommodated us perfectly. The yard was made to look great for the wedding and any problems we had were resolved immediately. Our guests brought children and they thoroughly enjoyed the pool as did we all the rest of the week. The game room was a big hit too. We closed everything down at 10pm per instructions which was nice for us too since family members spent days jet skiing, paddle boarding and kayaking. Thank you to all who helped us to enjoy our stay, our wedding a nd our family reunion.
Our stay at Newport Plum Estates was so amazing! We had such an awesome stay with our sweet family & than had our very magical, romantic wedding reception by the pool! Jackie the house manager totally rocked & was the coolest, most down to earth estate manager we have ever worked with & we have stayed at many vrbo's over the years! She would immediately get back to us every time we had a question or needed to talk! Brian & Melissa the owners were very awesome too! The estate is absolutely beautiful & great for an awesome stay with family & an incredible wedding venue! There is a pool so children need to be watched very carefully for safety! The beautiful memories we made here we will cherish forever & we are so blessed & thankful!
