About This Home
Situated at 10,200 feet in Saint Mary's with incredible views, including the majestic glacier, this is a mountain cabin you don't want to miss! This beautifully updated retreat offers one bedroom, a spacious loft that comfortably sleeps four or more, and a garage.
The cabin's interior boasts impressive updates, including hand-scraped hickory hardwood flooring, Indian slate tile, knotty alder full overlay cabinetry, chiseled-edge granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Cozy up by the wood stove, or relax in the jetted tub after a day of adventure.
Step outside and embrace the ultimate Colorado lifestyle. You're just a short walk to the Loch Lomond & James Peak trailhead, making it perfect for hiking, ATV/4-wheeling, and snowshoeing. Enjoy access to three private lakes: St. Mary's Lake, Silver Lake, and Lake Quivera. Keep an eye out for occasional wildlife visitors right from your doorstep!
Despite its serene location, you're only 20 minutes from downtown Idaho Springs, where you can enjoy local favorites like Tommy Knocker Brewery, Beau Joes Pizza, and Indian Hot Springs. Ski enthusiasts will love being 25 miles from Loveland Ski Area, 34 miles from Winter Park, 40 miles from Copper Mountain, and Keystone.
This property has been successfully rented out when the owners were unavailable to enjoy it themselves, offering excellent potential. This is an unparalleled opportunity to own your mountain escape!
