8458 Highway 24, Minturn, CO 81645

This 30 acre parcel is like nothing else in the Vail area! The stunning setting offers everything you could want in a unique mountain property: breathtaking views, dramatic cliffs, peaceful Aspen groves, pine forest, grassy meadows, and colorful rock formations, all atop a steep canyon overlooking the Eagle River... and under 20 minutes to Vail! Easy access is provided by the ''Old Road,'' the historic Colorado Highway 4, which runs through the property and doubles as a private recreation path. The parcel includes eight mines with U.S. mineral patents, but there has been no mining or development in over 100 years. There is no HOA. This unspoiled secret gem could be your own private playground or spectacular homesite. With multiple potential building sites, including a thrilling cliff top, you may have trouble choosing one. The parcel is in unincorporated Eagle County at the 9000' summit of Battle Mountain pass between Minturn and Red Cliff. Most of the land is on the west side and largely hidden from Highway 24, which keeps it secluded and quiet. Cross country ski on the Old Road and forest trails, back country ski on the eastern slope, hike and explore the land for hours, or just sit and enjoy the unparalleled views from a secluded perch atop the canyon! An amazing property and an amazing value at only $64k per acre! You must experience this property to appreciate all it has to offer, so schedule your private tour today.
