Who is Duane Hagadone?

To fully grasp the scale of his mansion, it’s worth understanding the man who built it. Duane Hagadone was a real estate developer but also a pioneer who made a lasting impact on publishing, hospitality and luxury living.

Biographical Overview

Hagadone was born in 1932 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and grew up with a sharp business sensibility. In his early career, he worked in publishing, including at his father’s newspaper, the Coeur d’Alene Press. Over the years, he expanded his empire and eventually created the Hagadone Corporation, a conglomerate that spanned from newspaper publishing to real estate development to hospitality businesses.

Hagadone had many accomplishments, one of which was helping small-town businesses grow into successful businesses. His visionary mind revolutionized many industries, making him a pioneer in these fields.

Coeur d’Alene Resort Connection

Hagadone is perhaps most closely identified with the Coeur d’Alene Golf & Spa Resort, a luxury destination that has achieved international acclaim. Set on the shores of Lake Coeur d’Alene, the resort features the world-famous floating green, a testament to Groves’s penchant for mixing natural beauty with man-made ingenuity. This project not only injected new life into local tourism but also elevated luxury hospitality in the Pacific Northwest.

Manny’s Mansion Not as Grand as the Mega Mansions

When it comes to architecture, it’s hard to top the unique palm desert mansion of Duane Hagadone. This residence was conceived by acclaimed architect Guy Dreier and is a blend of modern artistry and innovative engineering.

A Vision by Guy Dreier

The avant-garde architect Guy Dreier, who designed the mansion to blend with the surrounding wilderness and the conventional approach to contemporary design. One of the home’s most distinctive features is its curvilinear architecture: overlapping shapes and flowing lines reflect the surrounding desert landscape.

The materials that went into the mansion’s construction are as uncommon as its design. For instance:

• The mansion is covered in sand-colored stones so it melds into the desert’s earthiness.
• An exotic panther slate from India lends a unique rocklike texture into spaces.

Every angle of the mansion omits Dreier’s personal design philosophy, rendering it a work of art.
