Living in St. Mary's, CO

St. Mary’s sits way up at roughly 10,000 feet above Idaho Springs, at the foot of St. Mary’s Glacier. It’s a small, tucked-away community of cabins and mountain homes surrounded by national forest, alpine lakes and trails, about 20 minutes up Fall River Road from I-70.

It’s gorgeous, and it’s real mountain living. Snow comes early and stays late, the roads are steep, and you’ll want to understand the well, the septic, the heat source and winter access on any home before you fall in love with the view. The buyers who do well up here are the ones who go in with their eyes open, and then move fast when the right place comes up.

If you’ve been dreaming about a true high-alpine home that’s still an easy drive to Denver, let’s talk through what St. Mary’s is really like year-round.
