3257 Trail Creek Rd Idaho Springs, CO 80452

Listing details for 3257 Trail Creek Rd, Idaho Springs, CO 80452 : This 5 Acre parcel is a one of 7 Trail Creek Area Mining Claims offered just outside the Rocky Mountain Gateway town of Idaho Springs, Colorado. The larger collection of all 7 individual claims totals 32.042 acres with one additional 5.16 ac offering (MLS# 6621345) and the remaining 5 contiguous claims (MLS# 9105870) offered together at 21.882 acres. The 5 acre “Rustler MS” parcel lies at the end of Trail Creek Road from about .3 mile to .6 mile from the end of the county maintained portion. The Creek traverses the entire length of the property with cascading falls and pools within the densely forested landscape and a 2 track path also runs the length with access from the upper west end where Trail Creek Rd transitions to a Forest Service Rd. An abandoned rustic cabin exists upon the property and could perhaps be renovated to habitability. The collapsed remains of another old cabin provide a window in to the rich past of the area. The neighboring parcel to the south is owned by Clear Creek County providing an added layer of privacy from other landowners. For 3 generations the ownership family has enjoyed these lands as a place to retreat, camp and recreate; from the lovely trickling stream of Trail Creek upon the “Rustler MS” parcel to the expansive rocky mountain views offered from the middle clustered parcels and the high vantage point of the “Maximum” parcel.
