Rare Lakefront Log Home 1 hour from Denver. Multi-level decks, glacier access & year-round adventure. A rare opportunity to own true lakefront living just one hour from Denver. Set directly on the water in St. Mary's, this custom log retreat delivers a level of privacy, scale and access that is nearly impossible to find this close to the city. The home is designed around its setting. Expansive multi-level decks extend out over the lake, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience - whether its slow mornings by the water or evenings taking in the mountain views. Inside, vaulted ceilings and a floor-to-celing stone fireplace anchors the main living space. Natural wood finishes and large picture windows frame uninterrupted lake and mountain views, while the open-concept layout flows effortlessly from the living, dining and kitchen areas directly onto the main deck. The upper-level primary suite offers a true retreat, with a loft-style layout, private sitting area, en-suite bath and balcony overlooking the lake. The main level includes a guest bedroom with its own private balcony, while the lower level features additional living space, a bedroom, full bath and walk-out access to the lower deck and water. Thoughtfully updated with new appliances - including washer, dryer, refrigerator and dishwasher - the home is move-in ready and designed for ready ownership. Beyond the home, the lifestyle is what sets this property apart. Located just a block from the highly sought-after St. Mary's Glacier trail, with direct access to hiking, mountain biking and off-roading trails right outside your door. The glacier offers rare, near year-round snowpack for hiking, exploring and seasonal backcountry exploring.
