Surrounded by towering pines and mountain serenity, this lot offers an ideal build site for your dream cabin or full-time home. Unlike many lots in the area, this property offers gently flat terrain, minimizing site work and maximizing build potential. The setting is peaceful and private, yet you're just minutes from all the adventure Colorado has to offer-hike to St. Mary's Glacier, fish in the two private lakes, or explore endless nearby trails for ATV, snowshoeing, and more. Located only about an hour from Denver and 15 minutes from downtown Idaho Springs, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds-quiet mountain living with quick access to town amenities, dining, and I-70. Whether you're building now or investing for the future, this lot is a perfect place to bring your mountain vision to life.
