What's around 42590 Highway 72

About this property

A special property in an historic and beautiful high altitude setting. This mining claim, the New California Lode, is accessed off the stunning Scenic Byway, the Peak to Peak Highway. Very private with no neighbors in sight. Sloping to the SW so enjoy plenty of treasured sun and limited exposure to the highway. The historic Switzerland Trail bisects the property as does the California Gulch 4WD road. There's a piece of the Lode on the west side of the Peak to Peak that is adjacent to Boulder County Open Space. The confirmed building site is on the east side of the P2P and lies at the foot of Grassy Top mountain and the historic Camp Frances. While no buildings survive from the mining era town, there are many foundation platforms that tease the imagination of a bygone era. A stunning aspen grove drifts down the valley and through this property. Building options at the bottom of the New California Lode would have to be explored but it is certainly a place of peace and beauty. The land is about a mile from Ward and 15 minutes from Nederland, 35 minutes to Boulder. Make a short drive to Indian Peaks Wilderness or just walk into hundreds of acres of little known National Forest and Boulder County Open Space. Note: the property is adjacent to the EPA's Captain Jack Mill Site reclamation project. Call for more info.
