Public Remarks: Apex Valley is a beautiful and peaceful location! There are 3 parcels next to each other of which the Defender is the most southerly parcel. All three parcels are surrounded by BLM land. There are no close neighbors. At the bottom of the hill is Pine Creek which is on BLM land. A little gold has been found in the creek by the seller, but it is the peace & quiet that is the real gold. The property is six miles from Black Hawk casinos & seven miles from Central City. If you like the mountains & enjoy scenic views, the Peak to Peak highway (Hwy 119) takes you to Nederlands, Boulder & Estes Park. In the opposite direction is Idaho Springs by way of the "Oh My God" road. There are a lot of trails & roads through the mountains & interesting ghost towns & cemeteries throughout the mountains for exploring. Gold Medal waters down the hill. The area is plentiful with wild life. NOTE: Do not walk or near the cabin -- it is not safe!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
