Set in the heart of the St. Mary’s Glacier, this mountain retreat combines peaceful alpine living with beautiful views of Silver Lake and the surrounding peaks. Inside, this log home features an open-concept layout filled with natural light and mountain character. Large windows bring the outdoors in, while cool alpine air and quiet surroundings create a setting that feels both peaceful and connected to nature. Thoughtful design, scenic views, and the slower pace of the mountains come together to create a true retreat.
What sets this home apart is its location. Just a short walk away, Silver Lake and the St. Mary’s Glacier trailhead provide access to one of Colorado’s most iconic alpine destinations, known for glacier-fed lakes, breathtaking scenery, and year-round outdoor adventure. Residents who join the St. Mary’s POA enjoy access to two private, stocked trout lakes, while nearby public recreation areas provide endless opportunities for hiking, snowshoeing, and exploring national forest land.
Downtown Idaho Springs is 25 minutes away and offers the charm of a historic mountain town with local restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, rafting on Clear Creek, and the famous Indian Hot Springs. The nearby Mighty Argo Gondola adds another exciting attraction to the area, offering scenic rides, mountain views, and a unique connection to the historic mining heritage.
Virginia Canyon is nearby for world-class mountain biking, while surrounding ATV trails and forest roads provide endless opportunities for off-road exploration. Loveland Ski Area is roughly 30 minutes away for skiing and snowboarding, with Keystone, Breckenridge, and other Summit County destinations also within reach.
Located approximately 20 minutes from I-70, one hour from Denver, and 1.5 hours from Denver International Airport, this location offers a rare balance of mountain privacy and accessibility. This area continues to stand out as one of Colorado’s most sought-after mountain communities.
