Silverthorne blends resort living with natural mountain scenery
Located about 9,500 feet in the Rocky Mountains, Silverthorne is a town along the Blue River, surrounded by miles of forests and panoramic views. The resort community consists of over 4,500 year-round and seasonal residents. Snow and ice coming from the mountains are a common occurrence and residents tend to take it in stride. “Sometimes, we see snow as early as October, and it will go on until May or even June. It’s snowed on Halloween the past several years, so kids have to prepare their costumes for the cold,” says Isabel Rawson, president of Altitude REALTORS® and broker associate with Christie’s International Real Estate.

There’s also the Blue River Trail, open to hikers and bikers, and the Summit County Recreational Pathway System.

A wide selection of mountain homes, townhouses and condos
Homes in Silverthorne vary in style, size and price. Raised ranches and contemporary multistory homes from the 1960s to the 2000s are found close to town, with simple exteriors and occasional Craftsman features. These homes are priced around $770,000 to $1.3 million. Luxury, multistory mountain homes built in the 1990s and 2010s are popular. A handful have modern designs, but most are cabin-inspired with wood exteriors, large picture windows, stone accents and vaulted ceilings. Prices range between $1.8 million and $3.5 million, depending on square footage and features. Larger estate-like homes can get up to $6.5 million and come with acreage. “There’s a good mix of single-family homes and condos, and being in a resort market, we don’t have a lot of downturns,” Rawson says.
Over the past decade, Silverthorne has seen an influx of new residential developments, including modern condos and townhouses with tucked-in garages. These properties go for $580,000 to $1.6 million, based on number of bedrooms. Some belong to a community and have additional Homeowners Association fees. “There’s a nice up-and-coming feel with everything they’re developing here. Silverthorne is getting more built out,” Rawson says.

Navigating Silverthorne by foot, bus or car
Residents have multiple ways to get around town. Four bus lines run through the Silverthorne Transit Center. There’s also the Summit County Recreational Pathway System, which has bicycle-friendly routes that connect to other nearby cities. Most residents drive, as Colorado State Highway 9 travels north to south and splits into U.S. Route 6 near downtown, where the road intersects Interstate 70. “Because winter is such a prominent season here, most people like to be in a car. You’ll see a little bit of walking, but not a whole lot,” Rawson says.
