This is your opportunity to own a piece of history. The world famous May Day Mine located in the La Plata Mountains in the unincorporated town of May Day. The property consists of 154.29 Acres, over 1700 feet of both sides of the La Plata River, numerous home sites to choose from, County Road 124 frontage, private improved roads up the mountain to the mine at approximately 9200 feet in elevation. We see this as a recreational property for some who wants to build a couple of homes and have great hunting/fishing/four wheeling access, however, make no mistake about it, there is value in the mineral opportunities! We have mineral reports and studies available to the serious precious metals interests buyers. At the price of gold and silver today, this asset is attractive to the active developer, or for holding for investment.
Rare large parcel of land southwest of town ideal for development. 60 foot wide deeded access off of County Road 136 and best of all, it has Lake Durango water onto the parcel. This investment property land is located approximately 2.6 miles south of Wildcat Canyon Road and the intersection to County Road 136. There appears to be a Greeley gas line that runs through the property and we are checking on whether that is an oversized transmission line or something that could be used domestically. Electricity is reasonably close, (Less than three quarters of a mile and easements are already in place) but is not on the property. Very nice mixture of dryland pasture as well as pinon and Juniper trees. La Plata mountain and Sleeping Ute views as well. Divide into eight 35-acre parcels without having to deal with County planning or you could create smaller parcels since you have Lake Durango water company. No water taps are included. Donât want to divide the property? Thatâs okay this would be fabulous grounds for hunting. With the excellent proximity to Lake Nighthorse you have the closeness of water sports and this would be pretty land to hike on. The parcel is relatively flat although there are some picturesque arroyos and draws that run through the property. Current property taxes are quite low because they have the land leased to a rancher for grazing cattle. Surveyed about 10 years ago, we found and marked the pins but one, that looks like it was covered over when a road was worked on. An excellent opportunity for a large parcel with easy, year round access. No minerals to be conveyed as we believe they were previously reserved. Seller will consider financing with 30% down, at 6% interest and no partial release provisions. Balance of the terms would need to be negotiated.
