About This Lot

As of August 2025

Two patented mining claims perched high on top of the world, surrounded by vast stretches of public land and long distances from the nearest neighbor. This is the kind of remote that few ever experience—secluded, wild, and absolutely untamed. This rugged piece of land offers a true escape for those seeking solitude and sweeping views. With no covenants to restrict your imagination, you are free to use the land as you see fit! You’ll be at elevations between 7,000 and 7,600 feet, with rugged terrain and roads that demand serious clearance, four-wheel drive, and a sense of adventure. Access is by dirt road and is seasonal. Whether you take the rutted path with deep ravines or the steep route over the top and down through shale, the journey itself is part of the experience. These are patented claims, meaning you own the land—and the possibility of mineral rights—(rights are leased to someone currently). The silence up here is complete, broken only by wind and wildlife. This is not for the faint of heart, but for those who want land that truly feels like the edge of the earth.
