Residential Land for Sale in Idaho Springs, Colorado

Build your Colorado mountain retreat in the beautiful St. Mary’s Glacier community, where breathtaking alpine scenery and year-round adventure surround you. This 0.37-acre homesite (15,987 sq ft) sits in a well-established area with developed neighboring properties, offering both privacy and the convenience of existing infrastructure nearby.

Unlike many mountain lots, this property offers a practical starting point for future development. Electricity, water, and sewer utilities are available at the property line, making connections for a future home far more straightforward than many remote parcels. It is also located along established roads with nearby homes, allowing easier access for site planning, construction, and year-round use.

The surrounding landscape provides the best of Colorado’s mountain lifestyle. St. Mary’s is known for its incredible outdoor recreation with miles of hiking, snowshoeing, ATV trails, scenic lakes, and stunning high-country views in every direction. Wildlife sightings and peaceful mountain surroundings create an ideal setting for a custom home, weekend retreat, or future investment property.

Property owners have the option to join the St. Mary’s POA for a small fee of $60/year, which provides access to two private trout-stocked lakes for fishing, canoeing, and relaxing by the water. Membership is voluntary and only required for use of these recreational amenities. Surrounding hiking, ATV, and snowshoeing trails are open to the public.

Located just 20 minutes from historic downtown Idaho Springs, you’ll find charming restaurants, local breweries, shops, and year-round community events. Loveland Ski Area is also nearby for winter adventures, while quick access to I-70 makes traveling to Denver or the mountains simple and convenient.

If you’ve been searching for the perfect place to build in the Colorado high country—without sacrificing accessibility—this homesite offers a rare opportunity to create your own mountain escape.
