About 11000 County Road 124
Own a Historic Gold Mine & Waterfall Retreat in the Iconic La Plata Mountains This is a rare and remarkable opportunity to own over 56 acres of pristine wilderness in the coveted La Plata Mountains of Southwest Colorado with seasonal access. Just 25 minutes from downtown Durango, this unique property includes six patented mining claims—offering ownership of both the land and its valuable mineral rights. With seasonal access via scenic County Road 124, known for its excellent four-wheeling, the property boasts a truly one-of-a-kind natural feature: a breathtaking waterfall surrounded by vibrant wildflowers, towering aspens, and well-established pines. Wildlife is abundant, and the area offers world-class hiking, four wheeling, backcountry skiing, hunting, and endless outdoor recreation. This historic site was once home to producing gold mines, and geologists have pointed to promising opportunities for gold panning—especially around the waterfall. For the adventurous spirit, the abandoned mines may offer potential for exploration or even re-establishment. A camping platform and quaint walkways are already in place, offering a head start to creating your dream mountain retreat—whether it's a cozy yurt, off-grid cabin, or seasonal escape. Please note that access is seasonal via a 4WD road. Whether you're an investor, outdoor enthusiast, or someone seeking a secluded Colorado sanctuary rich in history and natural beauty, this is truly a one-in-a-million offering. Don’t miss the chance to make this magical property your own.
