4.9 acres in Idaho Springs, Colorado, known as the Dead Head Mine claim, set deep in the mountains of Clear Creek County about 5.5 miles from town. The property is surrounded by dense pines and aspens and accessed via a dirt road along the property boundary. A utility easement with transmission line towers runs through the center of the parcel, which is reflected in the price and should be considered when evaluating the property. On either side of the easement corridor, the wooded terrain offers usable space well suited for camping, a seasonal hunting basecamp, or simply a low-cost foothold in the Idaho Springs area. Clear Creek County sits in some of Colorado's best mountain recreation country. Idaho Springs itself is less than 6 miles away for supplies and amenities, and Denver is under an hour via I-70, making this an accessible piece of mountain land for Front Range buyers who want something to use on weekends without a long drive. The surrounding area offers excellent hunting, hiking, and off-road exploration throughout the season. This one is priced and positioned for the buyer who wants a named mining claim in the Idaho Springs mountains and understands what they are getting
