Home Details for Lot 1 Eagle Mining Claim

Beautiful piece of land above Dumont, CO with Southern Exposure, Spectacular Views including the Continental Divide and Mount Evans, and tons of Solitude. There are a few old jeep roads leading up to the mining claim but it does not seem accessible by car at this point. Per another owner you can drive to the Little Elsie claim off Wild Wagoner to 10-WW-5 and then walk down as it gets steep at this section. A buyer would most likely need to widen and/or put a road in. The Eagle mining claim has Clear Creek County owned land (Sheep Keep) surrounding the east, west, north sides, and there's another larger parcel a bit below it. This was former BLM land and Clear Creek kept it for a Bighorn Sheep habitat, they cannot sell it. Mineral and Surface rights attached to the property. The Sheep Keep is one of the largest bighorn sheep habitats in Colorado. Sitting right between Idaho Springs and Georgetown, you can't beat the location. 30 minutes to skiing, 35 minutes to downtown Denver, and an hour from DIA. It's within 50 minutes of 9 world class ski resorts! Enjoy all that historic Clear Creek and Gilpin County have to offer.
