If you’ve been dreaming of a peaceful mountain getaway that can also help pay for itself, look no further than 609 Brook Drive in beautiful Idaho Springs, Colorado. This cozy yet spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on nearly 0.7 acres in the quiet Winterland neighborhood, surrounded by towering pines and backing to a tranquil lake. It’s the kind of place where you wake up to crisp mountain air, sip coffee on the deck, and feel a world away—while still being just minutes from downtown shops, restaurants, and easy I-70 access.
Inside, the home is warm and welcoming, with an open layout ideal for relaxing after a day of hiking, skiing, or exploring nearby trails. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living area, while the updated kitchen and bathrooms offer both comfort and style. Recent upgrades include a new roof (2022) and new main-level flooring (2024), blending that classic Colorado cabin charm with modern touches throughout.
What truly sets this property apart is its strong short-term rental potential. Located near top destinations like St. Mary’s Glacier, Echo Mountain, and Indian Hot Springs, it’s a popular year-round escape. Gross income averaged $68,000 over the past couple of years, highlighting the property's ability to generate substantial revenue. The home has been professionally managed and is ready for a seamless transition as a second home, part-time rental, or full-time income property.
Whether you're seeking a weekend retreat, a savvy turnkey investment, or both, 609 Brook Drive delivers that sought-after Colorado mountain lifestyle—with income potential to match.
