Public Remarks: Jump back in time with this one-of-a-kind mining claim. Surrounded by BLM and history you will be able to get away from it all. The land is mostly flat whit plenty of trees and two potential building spots. This is an off-grid property that does not have an HOA. You will be able to build what your heart desires. The West side of the property will offer many views of the divide and surrounding mountains. Looking for more history. The Old Russel Gulch Cemetery is next to the property. The cemetery is fully fenced and maintained. Step back in time with the minors and their stories.
As the MLS and public records start to fill up, we'll list the details here.
