Silverthorne-Wildernest Real Estate
Below are condos for sale currently listed in the Summit County MLS in Treehouse Condo Silverthorne-Wildernest. Treehouse Condo 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 Treehouse Condo subdivision is surrounded by National Forest. As a result, all residents of Treehouse Condo are just steps away from some fantastic hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing.
The Treehouse Condo community is comprised of 249 condos, many of which include fabulous views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Dillon. Treehouse Condo is conveniently located along the free Summit Stage bus route. Each of the individual Treehouse Condos fits into one of roughly 4 different floor plans:
- 1 Bedroom & 1 Bath - 565 or 569 square feet
- 2 Bedrooms & 1 or 2 Baths - 758 or 796 square feet
- 2 Bedrooms (including loft) & 1 Bath - 817 or 840 square feet
- 3 bedrooms (including loft) & 1 or 2 Baths - 1008 square feet
Originally constructed from 1974 to 1979, there are 9 buildings in the Treehouse Condo community. In the fall of 2017, the Treehouse Condo Homeowners Association upgraded each of the individual condos from interior wood-burning fireplaces to new natural gas fireplaces. It was a terrific project that should result in increased market value for every Treehouse Condo homeowner. The Treehouse Condo complex is currently managed by Red Mountain Community Management, who provide a variety of services to the HOA that range from managing financials to providing upkeep to the common areas and clubhouses across the complex. The unit owners who comprise the Treehouse Condo HOA usually gather once or twice per year for workdays aimed at improving the complex. Workday projects usually include items like planting, landscaping, slash removal and painting.
Situated amongst pine and aspen trees, the Treehouse Condo complex features access to two terrific clubhouses as well as outdoor tennis courts. One clubhouse, including a pool, hot tub and deck, is exclusively reserved for unit owners. The other multi-level guest clubhouse is open to Treehouse Condo guests and owners alike, and it is one of the newest and largest facilities of its kind in the Wildernest area. The ground level of the Treehouse Condo guest clubhouse incorporates an indoor pool, hot tubs, a sauna, an exercise room, a racquetball court, a common laundry area, and an amazing game room that includes an arcade and ping pong. The upper floor features a dining area, kitchen, and wet bar that can be reserved for private parties. The upper floor of the Treehouse Condo guest clubhouse is also a great place to hang out and either read a book or access free Wi-Fi, while enjoying panoramic lake and mountain views.
Because of the many available amenities, the Treehouse Condo complex presents a great opportunity for primary residents or second homeowners as well as tremendous long-term and short-term rental potential. And, in the Treehouse Condos Fall 2018 Newsletter, the HOA announced that it would embark on a multi-year re-siding project in the Spring of 2019 for the Owner's Clubhouse and the nine main residential buildings in the complex. As of 2021, that project is now completed.
