Mountain living meets opportunity in the sought-after St. Mary's community of Idaho Springs. Full of potential, this home is ready for its next owner to update, personalize, and make it their own. Comfortable today with room to build equity over time, it's an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to create a mountain retreat that reflects their own style and vision.
What truly sets this property apart is its incredible location. Just minutes from the iconic St. Mary's Glacier Trailhead, one of Colorado's most popular alpine hikes, you'll enjoy easy access to breathtaking mountain lakes, year-round hiking, snowshoeing, wildlife viewing, and endless outdoor recreation. The surrounding Arapaho National Forest offers miles of public trails for hiking, mountain biking, trail running, ATV riding, and exploring Colorado's high country.
Optional membership in the St. Mary's Property Owners Association provides access to two private, stocked trout lakes—Lake Quivera and Silver Lake—where you can spend your summers fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, or simply enjoying the peaceful mountain setting. Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, this community offers both.
Historic downtown Idaho Springs is 25 minutes away with local restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, boutiques, seasonal events, and the Mighty Argo Cable Car. Enjoy whitewater rafting on Clear Creek, soak in Indian Hot Springs, or explore the nationally recognized mountain biking trails in Virginia Canyon. Loveland Ski Area is only about 30 minutes away, making skiing and snowboarding an easy part of your winter routine, while Denver is less than an hour away for an easy commute or weekend escape.
Mountain homes with this location and opportunity don't come along often. If you've been waiting for the chance to create your own Colorado retreat while building equity along the way, 865 Silver Creek Road offers incredible value in one of Clear Creek County's most desirable mountain communities.
