An unincorporated Summit County neighborhood on the flanks of Buffalo Mountain above Silverthorne, with trail access, panoramic views, and a wide range of property types
Wildernest is an unincorporated Summit County neighborhood situated on the southern and western flanks of Buffalo Mountain above Silverthorne, accessed primarily via Ryan Gulch Road. Unlike the town of Silverthorne below, Wildernest falls under Summit County jurisdiction — a distinction that affects zoning, municipal services, and short-term rental regulations. The neighborhood encompasses a wide range of property types, from condominiums and townhomes at the lower elevations through single-family homes and duplexes on the upper ridges, giving buyers more options within a single neighborhood than most Summit County addresses can offer.
Wildernest residents have direct access to trails at the base of Buffalo Mountain, with connections to the Eagles Nest and Ptarmigan Peak Wilderness Areas for hiking and snowshoeing. Upper Wildernest homes command panoramic views of Dillon Reservoir, the Ten Mile Range, and the Keystone ski area across the valley. Silverthorne's position at the I-70 and Highway 9 interchange puts Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, and Arapahoe Basin all within a short drive. The free Summit Stage bus connects Silverthorne to all Summit County towns year-round.
Wildernest is part of the broader Silverthorne real estate market. Buyers also exploring upper-elevation neighborhoods above Silverthorne may want to consider Ptarmigan and Government Tracts, two adjacent subdivisions on Ptarmigan Mountain with similar views and trail access.
Wildernest's range of property types and elevations means the right home here depends heavily on your priorities — views, trail access, property type, and STR eligibility all vary significantly within the neighborhood.
