Overview
Set in the heart of the St. Mary’s Glacier area, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom mountain home offers the perfect blend of alpine charm, recreational access, and investment potential. Surrounded by towering pines near Lake Quivera, the property is ideal as a weekend getaway, full-time residence, or short-term rental opportunity.
Inside, the home features an open-concept layout filled with natural light, a built-in sauna, and glass sliding doors leading to a spacious deck with mountain views spanning the length of the dining and living areas. The walkout lower level adds incredible flexibility with a private entrance, spacious bedroom suite, sitting area, and wood-burning fireplace — ideal for a future guest suite, mother-in-law setup, or separate rental space.
What truly makes this property special is the private access to Lake Quivera located just behind the home. Residents who join the St. Mary’s POA enjoy access to two private, stocked trout lakes, while nearby public hiking trails, snowshoeing routes, and ATV roads provide endless year-round adventure. The famous St. Mary’s Glacier trailhead is just minutes away, offering one of Colorado’s most iconic alpine hikes with glacier-fed lakes and breathtaking mountain scenery.
Just 25 minutes from downtown Idaho Springs, enjoy local breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, hot springs, rafting on Clear Creek, and the iconic Mighty Argo Gondola. Loveland Ski Area is approximately 30 minutes away, with convenient access to I-70 keeping Denver and Summit County within easy reach.
