Some mountain homes are about escape. This one is about making mountain life easier to live. Built in 1877, this two-bedroom Victorian sits in the heart of historic Silver Plume, pairing original exterior character with a thoughtfully updated interior, a warm and welcoming kitchen, comfortable living spaces, and a generous backyard and deck. At 1,117 square feet, the home feels intentionally manageable, whether used full time or as a weekend and seasonal retreat. Silver Plume is a place with a rhythm of its own. Historic streets, a small mountain town setting, local gathering spots, and easy access to year-round recreation create a lifestyle that feels distinctly Colorado. Loveland Ski Area is nearby, Georgetown is just down the road, and high country hiking, biking, skiing, and exploring are all within easy reach. For buyers coming from Denver and the Front Range, the location offers another advantage. Silver Plume sits on the east side of the Eisenhower Tunnel, making it an appealing home base for those who want to spend more time in the mountains without always going farther west. Come up early, work remotely, ski or hike for the day, return to town, and settle in. Walk Main Street for coffee, meet friends at Bread Bar, enjoy an afternoon in the backyard, or simply stay put and let the pace of town do its work. This isn’t a sprawling mountain house, and it doesn’t try to be. It is a real home in a real Colorado mountain town, with history, character, outdoor space, and just enough room to make you wonder why you would hurry back to the city.
Just 30 miles west of downtown Denver, the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains offer some of Colorado’s most sough
Just 30 miles west of downtown Denver, the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains offer some of Colorado’s most sought-after communities, neighborhoods nestled against protected land teeming with wildlife, breathtaking vistas, and a genuine sense of place. The greater Evergreen area first gained recognition in the mid-1800s as a logging hub supplying a growing Denver. Cattle ranching and mining followed, and eventually families arrived seeking acreage and views of the Arapahoe Range, Mount Blue Sky, and Mount Rosalie. Today, the area is known as a picturesque escape equally removed from the city and the ski slopes.
Jefferson County, home to Evergreen and its surrounding communities, offers world-class open space with 29 parks covering 54,000 acres for biking, hiking, horseback riding, and more. Red Rocks Amphitheatre, one of the world’s most celebrated music venues, sits just minutes away in Morrison. Other nearby draws include the Argo Gold Mine in Idaho Springs and Buffalo Bill Cody’s grave atop Lookout Mountain. The Foothills also support a thriving cultural scene: live theatre, art galleries, philharmonic and chamber orchestras, art classes, and book clubs among them.
Our Foothills communities have it all, and LIV Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to call this region home. Connect with one of our local advisors to explore real estate opportunities in the area.
