Black Hawk CO Land Lot for Sale

Two miles north of booming Black Hawk, one mile from the newly completed Hidden Treasure Trailhead, one half mile from the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway (Hwy 119), and a short distance along County maintained Apex Valley Rd., you will find 007 Apex (address not yet assigned to parcel). This outstanding 2.88 acre parcel is now brought to market after long term ownership. Historic 007 Apex was created from a section of the Nugget Placer #8558 (patented September 5th, 1893), and a section of the Valverde Lode #785. Placer ownership is rare, but exceedinly rare when mineral rights are still married to the surface, as is the case with 007 Apex. Placers also suggest water, and that which meanders YEAR LONG through the middle of this property is the contemplative sounds and bubbling clear waters of North Clear Creek. Very usable acreage to the north and south of this creek. From Apex Valley Rd., the topography is flat entering into the property, with a lovely drive sweeping towards a bridge (needs reconstructing) over North Clear Creek leading to a vast, mountain wildflower dotted meadow that is flat and large enough to accomodate a very large home. In fact, wider than 2 of your typical stacked 150 ft. claims. There is also a view of the Continental Divide to the West. The backdrop to this meadow and to the south is a towering aspen forest, naturally framing the vast meadow. Sun blankets the site from east to west, affording breathtaking sunrises and calming sunsets. The aspen lead to pines, and further south are old wagon roads and relics of Colorado's famed gold rush. This site doesn't need tens of thousands of dollars blasting rock, there is no need for a private road maintainace agreement between neighbors, there is little forest to clear, and the creek is not 'seasonal.' Power is available. The property is less than 1 hour's drive to Denver. Don't pass up this opportunity to witness a parcel with features that differentiate it from everything else on the market.

Central City CO Home for Sale

A mountain temple, a panoramic observation house, a quiet retreat, a sublime vacation oasis and contemplative mountaintop residence The 'Bon Ton' is unlike anything you've ever experienced. As are all homes built by Colorado Prospector Homes, the concept begins by staking the initial approach through the forest, respecting the natural placement of striking rocks and trees, then studying the views, and only then is the home imagined, then designed. It wouldn't be incorrect to describe the Bon Ton as a rare south facing property, but in reality, the Bon Ton is designed to embrace all directions. The cantilevered deck that wraps around the upper level provides unobstructed views of the Denver metro 4000 ft below, to Mt. Evans, the Continental Divide, then Alps Hill. Below this observation level is its aspen forest sprinkled with pines and wild flowers. The property is unusually flat and very usable which immediately kickstarts the imagination. A vaulted ceiling commands a completely open, minimalist space. There exists a startling kitchen island perfect for hosting cooking classes or an intimate evening with guests. The two bedrooms and 2 baths that occupy the middle level have exceptionally high ceilings and exposed structural members. The lower level is a flex space which might function as a gym, yoga studio, den, game room, bunk room, wood workers shop, or storage for cars and ATVs. Out your front door and within minutes walk are horseback riding, miles of ATV trails, hiking, snowshoeing, mountain biking and exploring the historic gold mining relics dotting the mountain as well as historic Russell Gulch. This is 1 of only 5 homes built by Colorado Prospector Homes connected to grid power, however the roof at the Bon Ton is perfect for installing solar panels. The owner is open to negotiating the purchase of the rare and functional furnishings as seen in the pictures. Listing agent was also builder.

Black Forest CO Land Lot for Sale

One of the earliest patented placer claims in Gilpin County and the Colorado Gold Rush for that matter is the Homesite Placer. These early discoveries were along the ancient creek and rivers beds and according to the prospectors who made their way across the treacherous Great Plains, gold was abundant. Additional accounts in the immediate to the Homesite suggest the Spanish had mined even earlier than the Gregory diggings of 1859. It was not long after these areas were explored that paths then roads along the creek beds emerged. Today, Highway 119 follows more or less these early wagon roads and travels directly through the Homesite. The Homesite was divided at one time among early landowners and the subject property is what now exists north of Highway 119. Access couldn't be better and the opportunities for those with an entrepreneurial spirit are no doubt favorable. The property is just west of the Grand Z gas station/convenience store and just north of the water treatment facility. A rugged road is cut and the views from the top of the property are extraordinary. Address number is a place holder. Additional photos to follow.
