This updated mountain home captures sweeping views of the Gore Range, Ten Mile Range, and Lake Dillon from a massive southwest-facing deck designed for Colorado outdoor living. Located in the Ptarmigan neighborhood in Silverthorne, the 3-bed, 2-bath, 1925 sq ft residence features large windows, abundant natural light, and an open layout that brings the mountain scenery indoors. A huge secondary detached garage with a rustic 1-bed, 1-bath, 726 sq ft studio offers flexible space for guests, a home office, or artistic pursuits and projects. Set on nearly 2 private acres with room for gear, trailers, and mountain toys, this is ideal for a primary residence or Colorado second home retreat.
Ptarmigan sits on the wooded slopes above the Town of Silverthorne at the edge of White River National Forest. From this address, the Silverthorne Recreation Center and Rainbow Park are within a mile, and Theatre SilCo and the Silverthorne Pavilion stand just down the hill. City Market handles weekly groceries at the two-mile mark, and Whole Foods sits further south in Frisco. The Dillon Marina is just over two miles away on Lake Dillon for boating and warm-weather days on the water. The Blue River runs through town for fly-fishing and walks along the water on the Bike Path. The same Bike Path connects to all other towns throughout Summit County. Most of Summit County’s ski terrain, including Keystone, Breckenridge, and Copper Mountain, sits within a comfortable 15 minute drive of this area.

The guest apartment has electricity and gas in place, but the unit currently uses a composting toilet rather than a connection to the septic system, and water is stored in a tank rather than drawn from the home’s well.
Short-term rentals in unincorporated Summit County require an STR license from the county for any rental period under 30 consecutive days and are limited to 35 rentals per year. This property sits in the Lower Blue Basin, where new Type II STR licenses are currently administered through a county waitlist. Rentals lasting longer than 30 days are considered long-term and do not require an STR permit. For current rules, fees, and waitlist details, visit Summit County’s official STR page at summitcountyco.gov/1452/STR-Regulations.
View permanence will be based on any future building in this area but based on the slope, size and positioning of the home on the lot, it is highly unlikely that the views could or would ever be blocked. Ptarmigan properties generally sit on larger lots and all of the surrounding lots are currently built out, which has historically helped preserve view corridors in this part of Silverthorne. A buyer should review surrounding lot status during diligence by checking Summit County records and any nearby parcels under contract or in design review.
The county does not plow private access roads in this section of Ptarmigan. Owners coordinate winter snow removal among neighbors, either by sharing the work directly or by hiring a private plowing service together. This is a standard arrangement for higher-elevation neighborhoods in this area of Silverthorne and is generally manageable on a coordinated schedule across the season.
Silverthorne and Dillon offer endless recreational opportunities. Silverthorne offers many arts and culture events such as First Fridays, Sunday Art Strolls, and live performances at Theatre SilCo through every season. Looking to shop? There is outlet shopping at the Silverthorne Outlet Mall and tons of boutique stores in the downtown core. There are also many restaurants along the Blue River. Lake Dillon, just south of town, opens up the summer side: sailing and rentals from the Dillon Marina, the Dillon Reservoir Recreation Path circling the water for cyclists and walkers, and the Lake Dillon Amphitheater staging open-air shows on warm evenings. Year-round, the trail networks of White River National Forest extend from the property into hundreds of miles of hiking, mountain biking, and snowshoeing terrain.
Yes, this address sits in the heart of Summit County’s ski belt. Keystone Resort is about six miles east, Arapahoe Basin sits roughly sixteen miles southeast, Breckenridge is fourteen miles south, Loveland Ski Area is twelve miles east on I-70 just before after Eisenhower Tunnel, and Copper Mountain runs about twelve miles southwest. For longer day trips, Vail and Beaver Creek are inside an hour west on I-70, which puts seven mountains in a comfortable drive from the same property.
