Aspen Road

This .30 acre lot in the St. Mary’s subdivision provides the opportunity to build a mountain home surrounded by alpine beauty while still being close to modern amenities. The lot measures approximately 12,981 square feet and offers a mix of evergreens, mountain views, and a sloped topography that allows for creative building options. Access is easy with a public, county-maintained road, making the property usable year-round. St. Mary’s has its own water and sewer system, and while taps are not currently installed on the lot, lines run nearby and can be brought in with coordination through the local water district, leaving you free to plan your build on your timeline. The subdivision also has a voluntary property owners association with an annual fee of only $60, which gives members access to two private, stocked lakes for fishing, canoeing, and paddle boarding, along with badges for other recreational use and seasonal community events. Clear Creek County oversees building requirements and zoning (R-2), and buyers are encouraged to confirm current tap fees, utility details, and permitting directly with the county and the water district. The location is what truly sets this parcel apart: tucked just below St. Mary’s Glacier, the area is a year-round outdoor playground with hiking trails, alpine lakes, and mountain scenery steps from your door. In less than 20 minutes you can reach Idaho Springs, a historic town rich with Gold Rush landmarks, boutique shops, restaurants, breweries, and the famous Indian Hot Springs. Clear Creek County is known for adventure, from rafting on Clear Creek to biking and hiking Virginia Canyon, to scenic drives to Echo Lake and Mount Blue Sky, the highest paved road in North America. World-class ski resorts are less than an hour away, and Denver is within easy reach for city conveniences. With a welcoming community, endless recreation, and a practical building site, this lot offers opportunity and lifestyle in the heart of the Rockies.
