Ten patented mining claims, documented in an 1887 mining survey, make up this historic Saguache County property. The land has been in the same family since 1968, and the owners are ready to pass it on to someone who shares their sense of adventure. Surrounded entirely by BLM and National Forest lands, the property offers seclusion and room to explore well beyond its boundaries. Several sealed mining pits and tunnels remain as reminders of the men and women who worked this rugged stretch of Colorado nearly 140 years ago. A vast variety of trees, terrain, and wildlife, combine to make this a magical retreat.
Access is seasonal. From Highway 285, about two miles from the base of Poncha Pass, take County Road UU52 to Forest Service Road 891, then follow FS 891 approximately 1.5 miles to the property’s northern boundary. For four-wheel-drive enthusiasts, the route continues through the property and into an extensive network of National Forest roads, eventually connecting with LL56 and the Bonanza area. Cell service is available on the property.
The offering includes Saguache County parcels 3957-344-00-001 and 3957-344-00-002. Read Less
