Property Description

Build your Colorado mountain retreat in the heart of St. Mary's, one of the closest mountain communities to Denver. This level lot offers an excellent opportunity to build a full-time home, weekend getaway, or vacation retreat surrounded by towering pines and mountain scenery. Water and sewer taps have already been paid and an electrical meter is already in place, helping reduce upfront building costs and simplifying the path toward construction. The property consists of two adjacent lots totaling approximately 0.18 acres with public water, public sewer, electricity available, and a publicly maintained road. The lifestyle is what makes this property truly special. Minutes away is the iconic St. Mary's Glacier Trail, one of Colorado's most popular alpine hikes, where you'll find breathtaking mountain views, a glacier-fed lake, fishing, paddleboarding, and year-round outdoor adventure. Explore miles of nearby hiking trails, ATV and Jeep roads, mountain biking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and endless opportunities to enjoy the Arapaho National Forest. Historic downtown Idaho Springs is less than 20 minutes away and offers locally owned restaurants, breweries, boutique shopping, rafting on Clear Creek, the Mighty Argo Cable Car, and year-round community events. Loveland Ski Area is approximately 30 minutes away, making it easy to enjoy skiing and snowboarding throughout the winter, while Denver is less than an hour away for an easy commute or weekend escape. Property owners also have the option to join the voluntary St. Mary's Property Owners Association, which provides access to two private, trout-stocked lakes where members can purchase fishing, canoe, and paddleboard badges, along with community events throughout the year. Whether you're searching for Colorado mountain land, a future cabin site, or a peaceful mountain getaway close to Denver, this property offers an incredible opportunity to enjoy everything Colorado mountain living has to offer.
