Perched just above the New Mighty Argo Gondola in the heart of Idaho Springs, these two rare mining claims offer an incredible opportunity to create your own mountain retreat surrounded by adventure, scenery, and year-round recreation. Bordering the newly developed Virginia Canyon Mountain Park and renowned Comba Trek trail system, the property provides direct access to 14miles of world-class mountain biking and hiking trails right outside your door. Spanning nearly 14 acres of south-facing land, the property features a flat build site perfectly positioned to capture sweeping views of the gondola, surrounding mountains, and untouched public lands beyond. Electric poles are already on-site, and with well and septic installation, the possibilities are wide open for a custom mountain home or private getaway. County-maintained Virginia Canyon Rd and established easements with a 15' wide access road make reaching the property convenient year-round. The Gertrude claim encompasses 9.17acres, while Edgardine offers an additional 4.5acres, both zoned for residential use. Thanks to adjacent public land and the neighboring Harold claim home sitting far below, the setting feels exceptionally private and secluded, with only the occasional cyclist passing quietly through the trails beneath.Just minutes away, the year-round Mighty Argo Gondola delivers a scenic 10min ride to the Upper Landing, where visitors enjoy expansive decks, amphitheaters, food and beverage options, and interpretive nature and history trails overlooking the Continental Divide.Beyond the property, Idaho Springs places you within 30-60minutes of 5 major world-class ski resorts, whitewater rafting on Clear Creek, and a vibrant historic downtown filled with restaurants, breweries, and mountain-town charm. This is more than vacant land, it's a chance to own a private piece of Colorado mountain living with unmatched access to trails, recreation, panoramic views, and one of the area's most exciting new attractions.
