Description
Unique, updated mountain home, nestled in a private-lake-community in the high Rockies where you can truly enjoy everything Colorado has to offer within minutes of your home-base, but only 20 Minutes to downtown Idaho Springs, 30 minutes to Evergreen, 40 minutes to Winter Park or to the West Denver Metro and just an hour from Summit County Ski Resorts (PAST MOST OF THE TRAFFIC!!). Located in the vibrant community of St Mary's Glacier, there are tons of outdoor activities literally right outside your front door: hiking, trail-running, biking, fishing, canoeing, 4-wheeling, camping, snow-shoeing, cross country skiing, backcountry touring, snowmobiling, even rock-hounding! This adorable well-updated home is surrounded by woods & geology (pyrite, quartz, mica), and sits right next to Silver Lake (visible from the kitchen window) with access to 2 private, well-stocked fishing lakes, plus Loch Lomond and Saint Mary's lake! Evergreens, aspens, and wildflowers abound. Moose, deer, fox, bear, bobcats & more all make their way through the property to grab a drink from the lake. The newly-remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, wherein you can visit with guests in the great room and marvel at the mountains at the same time. The wood stove creates that charming cabin feel, and will warm the entire house through the winters (though there is modern heating). The bathroom is nestled into the back of the main floor just at the foot of the stairs. Upstairs you'll find the primary bedroom and bonus room - perfect for a nursery, office, craft room, whatever you may imagine! Sit on the back deck and watch the lake sparkle or play yard games off the front deck as you bbq. with friends, family, or neighbors. It's lake life meets mountain life meets social life (if you want) and only it's 40 minutes form the Metro!
