Property Description

Rare opportunity to own a true Colorado miner's cabin on 2.3 private acres with a year-round creek, just 6 minutes from Idaho Springs and only 20 minutes from the west Denver metro area. Properties like this are difficult to find-combining mountain seclusion, solid construction, and exceptional access. Built to last, the cabin features heavy insulation, premium 20-gauge steel roofing and siding, and quality craftsmanship throughout. The loft sleeping area maximizes the living space, while the 144-square-foot covered front porch provides the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring the mountains. The property includes a 10' x 12' metal-roof storage shed with plenty of room for tools, mining equipment, ATVs, hunting gear, or outdoor toys. Located just 0.3 miles from a county-maintained road, access is surprisingly easy, and most vehicles with reasonable ground clearance can reach the property. The land itself is what sets this property apart. Situated on a historic mining claim with documented gold, a year-round creek, and surrounded by Colorado's rich mining history, it's an outstanding basecamp for prospecting, hunting, hiking, off-roading, and year-round mountain adventure. Cell service is available at the property, offering modern convenience without sacrificing the feeling of getting away. Whether you're looking for a mountain headquarters, weekend escape, investment property, or a place to enjoy Colorado's outdoors, this turnkey cabin delivers privacy, durability, history, and adventure in one exceptional package.
