Rarely in Colorado is there an opportunity to own an untouched piece of history. This 30 acre parcel has it all: breathtaking views, dramatic cliffs, peaceful Aspen groves, wildflowers, colorful rock formations, and a river flowing below it all. Not only does this offering include eight mines but all of the mining patents as well. The property was once known for its rich elk hunting grounds, and the Ute and Arapahoe tribes fought here, eventually resulting in the mountain being named ''Battle Mountain''. Your own private playground and untouched piece of history, just 15 minutes from Vail! The original Colorado Hwy 1 or the ''Old Road'' runs through the property and now serves as a private recreation path!Although the property holds centuries of history, there have only been a few owners and no development beyond the mines. With multiple potential building sites, including a dramatic cliff top, you may have trouble choosing which might be your perfect spot. It could be the site for your legacy property, totally secluded and private, but only 20 mins to skiing and even closer to shopping and dining. Imagine an incredible family compound, private getaway, or ultimate playground. Cross country ski on the Old Road, back country ski on the eastern slope, hike and explore the forest and mines for hours, or just sit and enjoy the views! You must experience this property to appreciate all it has to offer; schedule your personal tour today! Please do not access this private property without an appointment. Currently, there are no utilities. Well permit included in purchase. Please contact Eagle County Planning directly for information and permissions regarding building or other development ideas.
