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. 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.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
