Property Description
72.5+ acres of alpine bliss, likely the largest piece of privately owned property left on the mountain! Situated on Hinesdale CR 30, this massive lot offers two off-grid cabins, a workshop, ponds, internet service, and abundant wildlife. The Upper Lake Fork of the Gunnison runs along the northern edge of the property and White Cross Creek flows on the eastern edge, providing deeded water to the cabins. Surrounded by 14,000-foot peaks of the San Juans and BLM land, you are sitting along the Upper White Cross bowl — a home for a large elk herd of trophy bulls and ample mossy mule bucks and does. Three separate mines are found on the property, and historic structures remain. The Lower Cabin, built in 2015 with timber milled onsite, has a full kitchen, living room, two bedrooms plus a loft, and a wrap-around 8-foot-wide Trex porch with incredible views. The Upper Cabin, also constructed of site-milled timber, was built in 1994 using a unique mortise-and-tenon style. The Upper Cabin offers another full kitchen, living room, loft space with two bed areas, and a bath-house style bathroom equipped with on-demand hot water and a rain shower — off-grid in luxury. Both cabins offer a relaxing and welcoming place to stay whether you're getting some rest and relaxation or playing hard on the OHV trails. Easily pass through your gated drive and hit the Alpine Loop to explore the heart of the San Juans. Check out your new backyard and visit abandoned town sites, former mining structures, American Basin, Cinnamon Pass, Engineer Pass, and more. Situated between Lake City and Silverton, approximately one hour to either town for amenities.
