Gold enthusiasts, bring your pan and search for gold in the creek right out your front door! A golden opportunity, don’t miss the rush! The location is very private with only a few neighbors with summer cabins. Enjoy the seclusion yet only a 3rd of a mile to the county road and just minutes to the Indian Hot Springs and downtown Idaho Springs. You are 30 minutes to Denver or head west to the ski areas!

The cabin is high quality construction with heavy insulation. The roof and siding is 20 gauge metal for added fire protection and durability. Industry standard is 24 guage (thinner material).

Plenty of room to store your “stuff” in the 10 by 12 storage shed with a metal roof. The cabin has a water cistern that will need to be shut off for the winter and there is a septic. You can certainly continue to use the cabin in the winter by using the generators, just haul some water up for your stay. Winters up there are very pretty. Bring you camper/travel trailer and have an excellent private camping spot. Perfect for family or friends to enjoy. The property is off the grid with the electrical being supplied by primary and secondary generators that run on propane or regular unleaded gas. An excellent getaway so close in.
