Description
This stunning collection of former mining claims covers both sides of Birdseye Gulch, made up of a total of 737.335 acres M/L. The property is surrounded by over 5,200 acres of public BLM land and shares a border on one side with over 120,000 acres of San Isabel National Forest. Birdseye Gulch is a perfect example of the lush beauty of the Colorado high country. With multiple natural springs, pristine wildlife habitat, and breathtaking surroundings, this property presents an exceptional opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, nature lovers, and those seeking a serene retreat. Gaze upon captivating scenes of former mining camps, towering pinon pines, enchanting aspen groves, and open meadows. The property holds abundant wild game, including large numbers of elk, mule deer, and bears. A natural creek meanders through the bottom of Birdseye Gulch, home to eager wild trout. The surrounding BLM land also offers ample opportunities to camp close by.
Nestled in the heart of Leadville’s historic mining district, it has 4x4 road access just minutes from downtown Leadville. The property includes five parcels, with its non-contiguous boundaries covering portions on both sides of Birdseye Gulch. Birdseye Gulch is accessible by the Birdseye Gulch Jeep Rd. Birdseye Gulch Jeep Rd is a 4.6-mile-long route connecting to the Mosquito Pass Road between Mosquito Peak and Prospect Mountain. The road is accessible by 4x4 high-clearance vehicles and is seasonally maintained by the Mile-HI Jeep Club and Colorado Offroad Enterprise. With the current zoning restrictions, this property is not currently eligible for development or as part of the Colorado LPP preference program. It is the buyer’s/buyer’s agent’s responsibility to explore the limitations and rezoning options of the industrial mining district.
