Rare and extraordinary, this 93-acre mountain property offers an unmatched combination of natural grandeur and deep historic character in one of Colorado's most storied alpine landscapes. Situated in the upper Animas River corridor just south of the legendary ghost town of Animas Forks and a short drive north of the historic mining town of Silverton, this is a true legacy holding that seldom reaches the open market. This parcel sits at the heart of one of Colorado's most celebrated mining frontiers. Animas Forks once thrived as a high-altitude hub for the booming silver and gold operations that defined the San Juan Mountains in the late 1800s, and this property is a living piece of that heritage. The same rugged determination that built Silverton into a regional hub and drove prospectors to the uppermost reaches of the Animas corridor is etched into every acre here. A historic cabin stands on the property, originally constructed to serve the Honeysuckle Mine, offering an authentic and irreplaceable connection to the miners and operations that shaped this landscape over a century ago. Whether preserved as a rustic retreat or thoughtfully reimagined, this structure is a rare artifact of Colorado's mining era, carrying a provenance that no new construction can replicate. The property spans coveted private frontage along the Animas River, where crystal-clear mountain waters rush through pristine high-country terrain. A stunning natural waterfall adds to the drama of the landscape, creating a setting as breathtaking as it is historically significant. Surrounded by the soaring peaks and wildflower-laden meadows of the upper San Juans, this property is a sanctuary for outdoor enthusiasts, historians, and those seeking solace in one of the West's most scenic high-altitude corridors. Accessible via the iconic Alpine Loop with Silverton's full amenities just down the valley, this is Colorado mountain living at its most authentic and awe-inspiring.

The owner of the 24 lot parcel in the blagues addition has completed extensive preliminary due diligence and development studies in support of a proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD). Significant time and resources have been invested to evaluate the property’s development potential, infrastructure feasibility, and environmental considerations. To support the planning process, the owner engaged a surveyor to complete surveying and related site evaluation work. In addition, a Geotech company was retained to prepare a comprehensive geotechnical report assessing the viability of both vertical and horizontal construction based on existing site slopes, soils, and subsurface conditions. Environmental review work was also completed, including a detailed wetland assessment and coordination discussions with the Army Corps of Engineers regarding potential permitting requirements. Findings from the wetland review concluded that no jurisdictional wetlands are present within the proposed subdivision area. While several upland areas containing rush vegetation were identified within Block 8 North, those areas lacked the hydric soils and hydrology necessary to qualify as wetlands under applicable regulatory standards. Collectively, these studies and consultations demonstrate a substantial level of pre-development planning and a proactive approach toward understanding the site’s development potential and regulatory requirements. The property was previously approved by the Town Board of Trustees for a PUD via an Outline Development Plan in May of 2024. The Outline Development Plan expired when the new land use code was adopted in January of 2025 so a buyer would have to restart the PUD process.

This 13.64 acre parcel of land high in Little Giant Basin offers a unique opportunity to own a historically significant tram house. The rare angle station was part of the tram system moving ore from the Big Giant Mine to the Contention Mill located on the north bank of the Animas River. It doesn't seem this was a lucrative mining area although the history is fascinating. The current owner has done some stabilization of the structure, there are unused building materials on site that were helicoptered in. There may potential for additional grant money for those buyers willing to take on additional stabilization. The access to the property is a seasonal 4 wheel drive road. This area is completely off grid. The world renown Hard Rock 100 ultra running race route goes past this property. The current owner is ready to pass the torch to a new owner that is passionate about the history of San Juan County and is ready to take on an interesting project. The property is an ideal base camp for hobby mining, hiking, exploring and perhaps skiing.

Perfect Hunting / Hiking / Camping land overlooking Paradise Basin. Located near the prestigious Paradise Basin area up off of Ophir Pass Road in San Juan County, Colorado are the Compass and Gem patented Mining Claims. These vacant land parcels are perfect for hunting, hiking, camping to escape the Texas or Arizona heat. The towering 12000+ ft peaks of V5, South Lookout, and North Lookout surround your little slice of paradise. This 30 acre property is composed of 3 parcels (Compass, Compass No. 2, and the Gem) and sits in close proximity to Paradise Lake (1 mile), Crystal Lake (1.5 miles), and Columbine Lake (2 miles). Historical mining activity may have occurred on or near the property. The property is ideally situated less than 0.5 miles away from the world renown Opus Hut Lodge! This is mainly a summer-fall property as there is no winter maintenance on CR8 and avalanche risk in this area can be very high under certain winter conditions. There are no utilities on site but there is surface water on or near the property. All use of water requires a water right. Some property is south facing so solar may be a great power option. The middle fork of Mineral Creek flows yearround but it would need to be treated and filtered for potable water use due to high mineralization of the property and its surrounding area. San Juan County is zoned so you need County permission for any type of improvement or building. The property elevation ranges from 10,500 - 11,000 feet. One can be in Silverton in about 25 minutes via HWY 550 and CR 8 or into Telluride in about an hour via Ophir Pass Road. The Silverton access is 2wd whereas the Telluride access is SUV/4wd. If you're looking for a scenic parcel of land in a desirable hunting / hiking location with amazing mountain views then you've found the right place!

This one of a kind property with spectacular views is perfectly suited for those unique buyers looking for a seasonal property. Existing County Land Use Permit can potentially be transferred to a new owner if the new owner cleans up the property to the satisfaction of our County Planning Department. The San Juan Basin Health vault permit can potentially be renewed. There is potential for a Hydro-Electric system. The metal mining structure can be used for storage, RV camping allowed from spring till September 30th with transfer of land use permit. Small stream and spring located near the campsite. Once again this is a summer only property, mostly in an avalanche path. A cabin would not be allowed to be built on the upper part of the property. Access is a relatively easy 4 wheel drive road from Gladstone into Minnehaha Basin. Highly unlikely a larger RV will make it up the road due to tight switchbacks. A smaller back country camper is ideal.

This shovel-ready building site is a rare find in San Juan County. Close to Silverton and surrounded by large trees, offering a serene and private home setting. The flat building site has been cleared, and the gated driveway and underground electric are in. Geotech engineering has been completed and well and septic were approved (but not finalized). There is easy year round access via the plowed county road with just a short hike up CR23C (Maggie Gulch) to the building site in winter. The county previously approved a building permit for this site. Comprised of 89% public land, viable building sites in the county are few and far between, let alone one so close to town with such easy access. The views are amazing in every direction and could be opened up more with some selective tree thinning. Do not miss this outstanding opportunity.
