Mountain living meets year-round adventure here in the sought-after St. Mary's community of Idaho Springs. Offering multiple flexible living spaces and a versatile floor plan, this mountain retreat provides room to work remotely, host guests, pursue hobbies, or simply relax surrounded by nature. Large windows bring in natural light and mountain views, while the lower level features a spacious fourth bedroom, dedicated office/flex room, and roughed-in plumbing—creating opportunities for multigenerational living or future rental space. A high-efficiency wood stove provides added warmth and ambiance during the winter months, while the backup generator and transfer panel offer peace of mind.

The lifestyle this home offers is what makes it truly special. Just minutes from the iconic St. Mary's Glacier Trailhead, outdoor adventure begins right outside your door. Spend your days hiking to alpine lakes, exploring nearby ATV and snowshoeing trails, mountain biking, wildlife watching, or enjoying the surrounding Arapaho National Forest. Voluntary POA membership provides access to two private, trout-stocked lakes where residents enjoy fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and days by the water. After a day of adventure, unwind in the private hot tub while taking in the fresh mountain air and star-filled skies.

Historic downtown Idaho Springs is just a short drive away and offers local restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, shopping, events, rafting on Clear Creek, world-class mountain biking at Virginia Canyon, and rides on the Mighty Argo Cable Car.

Despite its mountain setting, the home offers convenient access to I-70, connecting you to Downtown Denver, Denver International Airport, and Colorado's popular mountain destinations. Loveland Ski Area is approximately 30 minutes away, with Arapahoe Basin, Keystone, and Breckenridge within easy reach.
