Functional kitchenNearly half an acreAll new windows
Tucked in the mountains of Idaho Springs, this cabin offers easy mountain living on nearly half an acre. Inside, you’ll find a bright and updated living space, a functional kitchen, and a loft for extra sleeping or storage. The home has been recently remodeled including all new windows, creating a clean and inviting feel throughout. An unfinished basement with a separate entrance offers incredible potential for future expansion—ideal for a guest suite, mother-in-law space, or rental opportunity.
What truly sets this home apart is the location. Set in the St. Mary’s Glacier area, you are just steps from Silver Lake and minutes to the iconic St. Mary’s Glacier trailhead—one of Colorado’s most sought-after alpine destinations. Enjoy year-round outdoor adventure right outside your door, from hiking and snowshoeing to ATV riding and world-class mountain biking.
This area is a true recreational dream. Explore miles of scenic trails, unwind in nature, and take in the peaceful mountain setting filled with wildlife and fresh alpine air. Optional POA membership provides access to two private, stocked trout lakes, including Silver Lake, while surrounding trails and outdoor spaces remain open for all to enjoy.
When you’re ready to head into town, historic downtown Idaho Springs is just 20 minutes away. Enjoy local favorites like Beau Jo’s Pizza, Tommyknocker Brewery, cozy coffee shops, and unique boutiques. Relax at Indian Hot Springs, explore the Argo Gold Mill, or take in the charm of this historic mountain town. The upcoming Mighty Argo Gondola, opening May 2026, will add a new level of adventure with scenic rides and expanded access to trails and historic mining sites. The area is full of year-round events, live music, and a strong sense of community.
You’re just 15 minutes to I-70, about 45 minutes to Denver, and 30 minutes to Loveland Ski Area, making this an ideal Colorado mountain home, weekend getaway, or second home with short-term rental potential.
