Property Description
Welcome to 250 Upper Forest Road – Your Gateway to Colorado Mountain Living
Tucked in the peaceful St. Mary's Glacier community, this cozy 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom mountain home offers the perfect balance of rustic charm and everyday comfort. Vaulted ceilings, a warm wood-burning fireplace, and a spacious open floor plan create a relaxed, inviting space ideal for full-time living or a serene weekend getaway. A bonus flex room offers potential for a third bedroom, office, or studio. Step outside onto your private deck and take in the crisp alpine air, surrounded by tall pines and natural beauty.
But what truly sets this property apart is its unmatched access to Colorado's outdoor lifestyle. Located at over 10,000 feet in the St. Mary's Glacier area of Clear Creek County, this home is part of a recreational paradise. POA members enjoy private access to two stocked trout lakes—perfect for fishing or a peaceful afternoon by the water. Explore miles of nearby hiking, snowshoeing, and ATV trails, or take a quick 5-minute drive to the St. Mary's Glacier Trailhead, one of Colorado's most photographed alpine hikes.
Less than 20 minutes from historic downtown Idaho Springs, you'll find charming restaurants, boutique shops, and attractions like Indian Hot Springs and local craft breweries. When it's time to hit the slopes, Loveland Ski Area is only 30 minutes away, offering affordable and uncrowded skiing just off I-70. Whether you're commuting to Denver (under an hour) or enjoying a weekend escape, this home offers year-round access via maintained roads—a rare find at this elevation.
Whether you're looking for a turnkey second home, a full-time residence, or a rental investment in the Colorado mountains, 250 Upper Forest Road checks every box. Experience the lifestyle so many dream of—privacy, recreation, community, and mountain beauty—all in one place.
