Residential Land for Sale in Idaho Springs, Colorado

This .367 acre lot in the St. Mary's subdivision offers a spacious 15,987 square foot parcel with mostly level terrain, making it far more ideal for building than many mountain lots, while still featuring gentle contours, a mix of open ground and evergreens, and the added character of a seasonal creek that meanders along one edge of the property. With its size, shape, and accessible topography, this site provides flexibility for future design while being set along a publicly maintained road for year-round access. St. Mary's has its own water and sewer system, and while taps are not currently installed on this lot, lines are nearby and available through the local water district with coordination, leaving you free to plan a custom build that fits your vision. The voluntary property owners association offers access to two private, stocked lakes for fishing, canoeing, and paddle boarding, along with community events that keep neighbors connected. Clear Creek County manages zoning and permitting under R-2 guidelines, and buyers are encouraged to confirm current requirements, utility details, and tap fees directly with the county and water district. The location places you right below St. Mary's Glacier, where hiking trails, alpine lakes, and year-round adventure are part of daily life. In under 20 minutes you can be in Idaho Springs, a historic mining town filled with shops, breweries, restaurants, and the relaxing Indian Hot Springs. Clear Creek County is known for outdoor recreation from rafting on Clear Creek to biking Virginia Canyon to exploring Echo Lake and driving Mount Blue Sky, the highest paved road in North America. World-class ski resorts are less than an hour away and Denver is close enough for city amenities yet far enough to preserve the quiet alpine lifestyle. With generous space, ideal building conditions, and an unbeatable location, this lot offers both practical opportunity and access to everything that makes Colorado mountain living so appealing.
