Alma Colorado is home to this gorgeous 10+ acre property, the Cheever Mining Claim. Not only does this 10+ acre parcel border National Forest on multiple sides, it is also near the Trailhead that leads to Kite Lake and Lake Emma, and to the local 14ers: Mounts Democrat, Cameron, Lincoln and Bross! You will find this original Alma claim along the Forest Service road that leads to the popular and unique Windy Ridge Bristlecone Pine Scenic Area. Straddling the road, this 10.3 acre parcel has differing topography, healthy trees and a gentle upslope to the NW offering elevation and VIEWS that seem to go on forever! Now a popular area for hiking, biking, cross country and backcountry skiing, this parcel and the National Forest that it borders, gives you opportunities far beyond its already large 10+ acre size! The Alma area is still known for its rich mining history, and the Alma/Mosquito Mining District was significant for its gold and silver discoveries in the mid to late 1800s. Access to the Cheever is along Buckskin Gulch, named for the first miner to strike gold, Buckskin Joe. Although the Cheever claim never hit it 'big' it is still a part of the history of Alma and it can now be your gateway to mountain activities! The property is Zoned 'Mining' but if mining is not your thing, you can use the property for camping/recreating (within county guidelines) or you can apply for a special permit from the county for other potential uses like residential. This is a unique opportunity!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
