About 840 Forest Service Road 890
Welcome to this truly one-of-a-kind Colorado mountain property with a story that spans generations. A rare opportunity to own a substantial high-country recreational base camp for hunting, adventure, and privacy. With 140 +/- acres, this unique offering is a conglomeration of historic mining claims being sold together as one large parcel. The property is tucked away behind two locked gates, creating an exceptional level of privacy and seclusion. Surrounded by National Forest, the setting offers the ultimate Colorado mountain escape. Located at approximately 10,300 feet, the property features a diverse landscape of mountain creeks, mature pine and aspen forests, open meadows, and beautiful high-elevation views. A private network of roads winds throughout the property, providing exceptional access to the various parcels. Beyond the property lines, off-road enthusiasts can launch directly into world-class high-altitude adventures, including legendary alpine routes like Tomichi Pass, Hancock Pass, and Cumberland Pass. Whether navigating the historic Miner's Loop or exploring by side-by-side, hiking, and mountain biking, it is an unparalleled recreational playground. At the heart of the property is the original air compressor shed from the area's mining days, thoughtfully renovated into a unique mountain cabin. Built with durability in mind, the high-country bunker features a concrete floor, metal construction, and steel window coverings while functioning as a comfortable mountain retreat. The cabin is equipped with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, a septic system, and indoor plumbing to a full bathroom supplied by an adjudicated spring. The property enjoys seasonal access and is located just outside the historic mining town of Whitepine, Colorado. The town of Sargents is 15 minutes away for fuel and basics, Gunnison is 45 minutes away, and a short drive over Monarch Pass connects you to shopping and dining in Poncha Springs and Salida. Additional acreage available.
