The Colorado Trifecta: Water, Trails, and Wildlife.
Water, trails, and wildlife surround this private Silver Creek Lakes retreat just 20 minutes from Salida. This is where Colorado slows down. Silver Creek Lakes is a private, gated enclave tucked into a quiet valley of ponds, streams, and towering pines, bordered by National Forest and BLM land. Here, moose and elk wander freely, the sound of moving water drifts through the trees, and your days begin with mountain sunrises and end beside the fire.
The three-bedroom, two-bath home captures that beauty at every turn. Step into the great room where vaulted wood ceilings, log beams, and a massive stone fireplace create a warm and inviting space. Walls of windows frame lush meadows and glimmers of the water below. The kitchen features granite counters, a gas range, and a large island perfect for cooking or gathering with friends. The main-level primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a five-piece bath, while the upstairs loft and guest rooms provide flexible space for family, friends, or a home office.
Outside, the deck and private footbridge put you front-row to Colorado’s best mountain lifestyle. Cast a line in the stocked community ponds, hike or ride directly into National Forest, or simply relax as the stream and wildlife remind you why this is home. Properties in Silver Creek Lakes are rarely available, and the lifestyle is unmatched.
