Glacier is a private mountain community shaped by its landscape—expansive views, open land, and a way of life connected to both.
It All Began With a Glacier
A force powerful enough to carve its way through the western slopes of the Rockies, shaping some of the most dramatic terrain in the continental U.S. Today, the community is grounded in that same landscape—surrounded by white-capped peaks, alpine lakes, and open meadows. Here, Glacier’s 3,000 acres shape daily life, giving owners and members the freedom to set their own pace—whether that means taking on new pursuits or slowing down to take it all in.
The expansive property was originally developed in the early 1970s as a collection of hotels, a convention center, meeting facilities, and a ski area before being reimagined in 2001 by Rick Carlton of Nashville, Tennessee.
Built on a vision for a private club community in a remarkable corner of Southwest Colorado, Glacier has evolved into one of the Rocky Mountains’ premier residential destinations.
Glacier draws from the authentic Western history of Durango, with a nod to the region’s mining roots. Recognized as one of Colorado’s best-kept secrets, Durango was founded in 1880 by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Company to serve the San Juan Mining District, where the mountains were rich with silver and gold. Today, Glacier offers modern cabin homes and homesites for sale, along with a year-round adventurous lifestyle shaped by member events and experiences for all generations.
