Conviently Located in Silverthorne
Wildernest is a steep swath of a neighborhood on the flanks of Buffalo Mountain. It is centrally located between the incorporated town of Silverthorne and Frisco, just off of I-70. The radical height of this neighbor puts you in the crow's nest over Lake Dillon, with the peaks of Keystone Ski Resort beyond it, the 14ers Grays and Torrey's farther on, the Williams Range off toward the north, and the Tenmile Range meandering south toward Breckenridge.
The headwaters of the Blue River might be near Breckenridge, but the gold medal fishing waters of the Blue run in the valley at your feet when you're up in Wildernest. From any condo, townhome or house for sale in Wildernest, hiking, biking or ski trails lie just outside your doorstep.
There is no need to drive, the free county-wide bus makes the trip up the main drag of Wildernest. You will be transported to the base of Breckenridge, Copper Mountain or Keystone. You're at the center of all the ski resorts in Summit County when you're a homeowner in Wildernest.
What's the Wildernest Look?
The neighborhood called Wildernest got started in the '70s. Plain vanilla ski condos are available up or off Ryan Gulch Road under a variety of names: Treehouse, Buffalo Ridge, Silver Queen - usually with a covered parking space, a place for your skis, a little balcony or deck, a common area with pool or hot tubs, a couple bedrooms and bathrooms and a open living space with kitchen, dining and living all in one. This style may be simple, but offers a great value in ski-home real estate. Townhouses in Wildernest similarly strive for efficiency and make great first homes for Summit County locals. And with in-the-know neighbors, these make great second homes as well.
Wildernest is a dense neighborhood, and not necessarily a bad thing. Only a few dozen lots remain vacant. But it also means there's help nearby if you need it, and trail maintenance, and the bus.
Things To Do Near Wildernest
Two great trails start from the top of Ryan Gulch Road, and another is at the base of it. The lower trail, the Salt Lick, trail will take you to the upper ones, or over toward Frisco. The upper trails include one to Lily Pad Lake, and another called the Willow Creek Trail, goes north over a ridge on the flanks of Buffalo Mountain to Willow Creek.

Straight on leads up to Mesa Cortina, and the single-family home area of Wildernest.
