It’s not the largest house in Kootenai County but the new Hagadone home being built at Lake Coeur d’Alene’s Casco Bay is perhaps the only tree house. The home’s living quarters are elevated on stone pillars, allowing a creek to run underneath through the property’s lavish flower gardens. The two-bedroom, 22,040-square-foot home is under construction on Duane and Lola Hagadone’s longtime Casco Bay property. The site is visible from downtown Coeur d’Alene and the Coeur d’Alene Resort, which is also owned by the native businessman. After its completion in 2009, the lakeside home will become the second-largest single-family residence in Kootenai County, dropping the Hagadones’ 14,933-square foot Stanley Hill home to third/Erica Curless, Spokesman-Review.
