Property Description

A Rare claim to stake in the high San Juans. Perched above the storied mountain town of Silverton, Colorado, this is the kind of land that comes along once in a generation a sprawling acreage parcel where two creeks sing through old-growth pine and aspen, and the mountains rise straight from your doorstep. Water defines this place. Nearly half a mile of Mineral Creek frontage anchors the property, while a thousand feet of Belcher Creek tumbles and cascades through it, the soundtrack to your own private corner of the high country. Beneath a canopy of mature timber, countless natural clearings invite you to imagine the home or the retreat you've always pictured, each one framed by a different view. This is no raw, untouched gamble. A 3,308 Sqft shop anchors the property, keep it working as-is, or reimagine it as a show stopping barndominium conversion. The existing structure recently housed a light commercial operation, and the heavy lifting is already done: full electric, septic, and water are in place, dramatically simplifying development and softening the cost of building your vision. A solid, established driveway with direct highway access keeps you connected in every season, making this a true four-season property. And the location is everything. Just minutes from downtown Silverton, the parcel is wrapped on all sides by BLM land providing endless public acreage with door-to-door recreation and access most people only dream of. For backcountry skiers, the dream is literal. The skin track begins at your front door. Choose a mellow tour through the Gladstone tree runs, or push higher up the shoulder of Sultan Mountain to the legendary weekday chutes. And when conditions align, you can top out on Sultan's summit and ski the picturesque North Star Couloir all the way back to your doorstep. Properties like this don't come to market, this one hasn't changed hands in nearly forty years. Opportunities this rare don't wait. Neither should you.
