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 2 off grid cabins, a workshop, ponds, internet service and abundant wildlife. Upper Lake Fork of the Gunnison runs along the northern edge of the property & White Cross Creek flows on the eastern edge of the property providing deeded water to the cabins. Surrounded by 14,000' peaks of the San Juans & BLM land, you are sitting along the Upper White Cross bowl - a home for a large elk herd of trophy bull & ample mossy mule buck and doe. Three separate mines are found on the property, and historic structures remain today. The 'Lower Cabin,' built in 2015 with timber milled onsite, has a full kitchen, living room, 2 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.
Upper Cabin offers another full kitchen, living room, loft space with 2 bed areas and a bath house style bathroom equipped with on demand hot water & a rain shower - off grid in luxury! Both cabins offer a relaxing and welcoming place to stay - whether you're getting some rest & 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. Checkout your new "backyard" and visit abandoned town sites, former mining structures, American Basin, Cinnamon Pass, Engineer Pass & so much more. Situated between Lake City and Silverton, approximately one hour to either town for amenities.
