This off-the-grid cabin is located on three mining claims in Animas Forks, 30.991 acres. Built in 1999, it features propane appliances, a queen-size Murphy bed, sleeping and storage lofts, and solar power for lights and small appliances. Second structure provides storage, propane heated shower, and a composting toilet. Sitting right below the cabin, the Frisco Mill is distinguished by its unique history and extraordinary setting, a one of a kind. It is listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties. Listing in the State Register provides recognition and assists in preserving our stateâs heritage. Located on the Alpine Loop Scenic and Historic Byway in southwest Colorado, connecting Ouray, Lake City and Silverton. The Frisco Mill building dominates the landscape, and is the last remaining large post and beam mill in the Animas Forks area. Mills were common during this period but most were small, and few are left standing. The Frisco Mill is the only known example of a large post and beam mill in this high country.

Year round access is possible with private, plowable roads, setting these properties apart from most unincorporated home sites in the area. Electricity is nearby and there is the possibility of connecting to the power line in the future should any owners be interested; however, all claims have excellent exposure for solar power, even through the winter months. Properties also have excellent cell phone and internet service and are free from avalanche danger. Come visit Raven's Nest Estates; they'll take your breath away and you'll want to make them your new home in the San Juan Mountains. Silver Link offers a different charm than then other properties in Ravenâs Nest Estates.

Anyone looking for private mountain living will enjoy the versatility of this homesite.
For your serious mineral prospector. I've not been underground on this property, but according to the maps it looks like there are several thousand feet of tunnel. Ground Floor Opportunity. Excellent investment properties located in Minnehaha Basin, just East of Gladstone. The properties are as follows: first is the claim name followed by the US mineral survey number followed by the number of acres in that claim: Minnehaha 14425 10.331 acres Rouena 16393 9.501 acres Rouena #1 16393 10.331 acres Would look at exchanging for income property. The county road runs through these parcels. They are contiguous to each other. Views beyond belief. See the backside of Red Mountain Pass. See the backside of the mountains around Telluride. One person, who had just returned from Glacier National Park, told me that these views rivaled those he had just seen. Your buyer will get title insurance and a general warranty deed. The Minnehaha Mine nearly adjoins the old Lead Carbonate mine which appears to have vein structure running southeasterly right onto these properties. It is at the very westerly end of the old Sunnyside mine which had been operating for nearly 100 years. There is fairly extensive tunneling on the Minnehaha and in the associated docs I have a very thorough assay map of level number 2 on the Minnehaha mine. This map shows the assay results for gold, silver, lead, zinc, and copper. I recently had some assay work done searching for the element tellurium and it did come back positive for that element. Tellurium is used in the construction of solar collectors and the now famous Gold King mine, which lies about a mile north west of these claims, contains one of the largest tellurium deposits in the country. That represents multiple thousands of dollars of work. As can be seen by the pictures, numerous mineralized outcrops are on this property. The entrance to the tunnel has been cribbed although overburden has come down over the opening. No water is coming out of the mine. Sellers will retain a small royalty (If your buyer ever mines, the sellers get a royalty. But the sellers are not allowed to mine and the sellers cannot make your buyer mine.)
The property would lend itself well to being developed into a destination retreat lodge and cabins. The large, substantial post and beam structure is in excellent condition except for the fact that a lot of cosmetic finish work would be required in order to make the building habitable and functional as a lodge. The structure was built to last and withstand the dynamics of supporting the cables and heavy weight load of ore being transported down from the mountain top mine. The old Stoney Pass Road which was utilized as the main roadway from Del Norte over the Continental Divide to Silverton runs through the property. This location is now a gateway to high mountain recreation and would provide for an excellent "base camp".
