Dakota Ridge Rd Idaho Springs, CO 80452

Adventurer's Dream LESS THAN AN HOUR FROM DENVER! Named for the West Chester Mine (a patented mining claim) shaft on the property, this 4.18 acres offers majestic sunset views of the front range and continental divide from the heart of the historic GOLD MINE district. Zoned for residential and recreational mining, the property is bordered by public lands on 2 sides and yet very accessible. The parcel has a good road, accessible year round with several good building and camping sites. The location, minutes from the Central City KOA camp ground, the Ghost Town Disc Golf course & A&A Historical Horseback Riding, makes it easy to visit the shops and dine in historic Idaho Springs. Founded in 1859, Idaho Springs was first known simply as "Idahoe" - a derivative of an Arapahoe word that meant "gem of the mountains." Later 'Springs' was added due to the now popular hot springs. When George Jackson discovered gold on the banks of Clear Creek River the Colorado Gold Rush was on! This is your opportunity to be part of this exciting Colorado history.
