Step into the legacy of Colorado’s mining past with this rare offering of three historic mining claims—the Annie, Cecil, and West Alabama Mines—combined into a stunning 26+ acre parcel in the heart of the Rockies. Nestled just 15 minutes from downtown Idaho Springs and about an hour from Denver, this expansive mountain property blends rugged beauty, historical significance, and convenient access. Accessed via South Spring Gulch Road, the property features a mix of gently sloping terrain and steeper forested hillsides, offering multiple potential building sites with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Power lines cross the property, giving you a valuable head start if you're looking to develop or build your dream mountain cabin, off-grid retreat, or legacy investment. What sets this parcel apart is its combination of three separate mining claims plus adjacent BLM land that has been incorporated into the property—creating an unmatched opportunity for both space and seclusion. Favorable zoning allows for easy building on either of the three lots. Whether you're drawn by the romantic notion of the Old West, seeking a private mountain getaway, or looking to invest in a unique and increasingly rare land asset, this property delivers. Recreational opportunities abound with hiking, wildlife watching, and exploring your own alpine acreage. And with close proximity to Idaho Springs, you're never far from restaurants, shops, hot springs, and easy I-70 access to world-class ski resorts and Denver.
