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.

High above the legendary Animas River Valley, where rugged peaks meet endless sky, this extraordinary 5-acre homesite offers a rare opportunity to build a true Colorado mountain legacy. Tucked among towering pines in the coveted Raven’s Nest area, the Mayzeppa parcel captures commanding, unobstructed views of the dramatic Grenadier Mountain Range, with the shimmering Animas River and historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad winding through the valley below. The setting feels worlds away—private, peaceful, and immersed in nature—yet Silverton’s restaurants, shops, and year-round adventure are just three miles down the road. Unlike many mountain parcels, this property checks the boxes buyers dream about but rarely find: direct highway access, a private plowable road for potential year-round accessibility, excellent solar exposure, strong cell service, completed septic engineering, and no avalanche danger to the building site or access road. Whether envisioning a modern alpine retreat, luxury mountain cabin, or legacy getaway for generations to come, this homesite delivers the ideal balance of beauty, usability, and infrastructure. Wake each morning to alpenglow over the Grenadiers, spend your days exploring the San Juans, and end each evening beneath some of Colorado’s darkest, star-filled skies. Build-ready parcels of this caliber in the Silverton area are increasingly rare. Mayzeppa is more than land—it is the beginning of a mountain lifestyle few ever get to call their own.

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.

A Rare claim to stake in the high San Juans. Perched above the storied mountain town of Silverton, Colorado, this is the kind of land that comes along once in a generation a sprawling acreage parcel where two creeks sing through old-growth pine and aspen, and the mountains rise straight from your doorstep. Water defines this place. Nearly half a mile of Mineral Creek frontage anchors the property, while a thousand feet of Belcher Creek tumbles and cascades through it, the soundtrack to your own private corner of the high country. Beneath a canopy of mature timber, countless natural clearings invite you to imagine the home or the retreat you've always pictured, each one framed by a different view. This is no raw, untouched gamble. A 3,308 Sqft shop anchors the property, keep it working as-is, or reimagine it as a show stopping barndominium conversion. The existing structure recently housed a light commercial operation, and the heavy lifting is already done: full electric, septic, and water are in place, dramatically simplifying development and softening the cost of building your vision. A solid, established driveway with direct highway access keeps you connected in every season, making this a true four-season property. And the location is everything. Just minutes from downtown Silverton, the parcel is wrapped on all sides by BLM land providing endless public acreage with door-to-door recreation and access most people only dream of. For backcountry skiers, the dream is literal. The skin track begins at your front door. Choose a mellow tour through the Gladstone tree runs, or push higher up the shoulder of Sultan Mountain to the legendary weekday chutes. And when conditions align, you can top out on Sultan's summit and ski the picturesque North Star Couloir all the way back to your doorstep. Properties like this don't come to market, this one hasn't changed hands in nearly forty years. Opportunities this rare don't wait. Neither should you.

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!
