About This Lot

As of September 2025

This 13.64 acre parcel of land high in Little Giant Basin offers a unique opportunity to own a historically significant tram house. The rare angle station was part of the tram system moving ore from the Big Giant Mine to the Contention Mill located on the north bank of the Animas River. It doesn't seem this was a lucrative mining area although the history is fascinating. The current owner has done some stabilization of the structure, there are unused building materials on site that were helicoptered in. There may potential for additional grant money for those buyers willing to take on additional stabilization. The access to the property is a seasonal 4 wheel drive road. This area is completely off grid. The world renown Hard Rock 100 ultra running race route goes past this property. The current owner is ready to pass the torch to a new owner that is passionate about the history of San Juan County and is ready to take on an interesting project. The property is an ideal base camp for hobby mining, hiking, exploring and perhaps skiing.
