Overview

Discover the charm of mountain living at 178 Elk Road — a peaceful retreat on a spacious .34-acre lot in scenic St. Mary's Glacier.

This inviting home features an open-concept kitchen and living area, warmed by a wood-burning stove, creating a cozy and connected living space. With main-floor living, the layout includes a primary bedroom and full bath on the main level, a second bedroom for guests or office use, and an upper level with a third bedroom, a half bath, and a loft overlooking the living room—perfect for reading, creative work, or a quiet retreat.

But what truly sets this property apart is its location in the heart of Colorado’s high country. Nearby Idaho Springs is a hidden gem nestled just 45 minutes from Denver, offering the perfect balance of small-town charm, historic character, and outdoor adventure. This area is known for its quaint downtown, where you’ll find local shops, cafés, craft breweries, and restaurants along historic Miner Street. Explore the Argo Gold Mill, go gold-panning at the Phoenix Mine, or unwind in the geothermal caves at Indian Hot Springs.

For the outdoor enthusiast, the area is a true paradise. You’re minutes from world-class hiking at St. Mary’s Glacier, mountain biking through Virginia Canyon, and scenic drives on Mount Evans Scenic Byway. POA members enjoy fishing and paddleboarding on two trout-stocked private lakes. Nearby are public snowshoeing trails in the winter, or hiking trails and whitewater rafting on Clear Creek in the summer. The home offers easy access to I-70, connecting you quickly to Denver, Loveland Ski Area, and countless trails, peaks, and lakes throughout Clear Creek County.

Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a weekend mountain getaway, or a basecamp for exploring Colorado’s natural beauty, 178 Elk Road offers comfort, character, and convenience in a setting that feels worlds away—but is close to everything.
