Silverthorne-Wildernest Real Estate

Below are condos for sale currently listed in the Summit County MLS in Silver Queen West | Silverthorne-Wildernest. Silver Queen West is part of the Wildernest neighborhood. Wildernest is an unincorporated portion of Summit County, which is located just above the town of Silverthorne. As part of Wildernest, the Silver Queen West subdivision is surrounded by National Forest. As a result, all residents of Silver Queen West are just steps away from some fantastic hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing.

The Silver Queen West community is comprised of 106 units, many of which include fabulous views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Dillon. Silver Queen West is conveniently located along the free Summit Stage bus route. Each of the individual Silver Queen West condos fit into one of roughly 5 different floor plans:

Originally constructed in 1983 and 1984, there are 4 buildings in the Silver Queen West community. In 2013 and 2014, the Silver Queen West Condo Association completed an extensive restoration project across the entirety of the complex at a cost of just under $2.4 million. The improvements to all building exteriors in the Silver Queen West complex included upgrades to stucco siding, railings, balconies and walkways. Individual condos received upgrades as well, including windows, private decks and entry doors. The restoration project went very well. Since having been completed, out-of-town visitors sometimes look at the Silver Queen West complex and think it's a newly constructed complex. Because of the restoration work and the complex's location so close to the national forest, the Silver Queen West complex presents a great opportunity for primary residents or second homeowners as well as tremendous long-term and short-term rental potential.
