OWN A PIECE OF THE MAJESTIC ROCKY MOUNTAINS!! PRICE HAS BEEN REDUCED $25,000 AND SELLERS ARE EXTREMELY MOTIVATED TO SELL!! ONLY TWO WEEKS LEFT ON THE LISTING!!
Up for your buying pleasure is a GORGEOUS 17.73 acre lot located in BLACK HAWK, COLORADO. Black Hawk is located in Gilpin County, which is the smallest county in the state. Central City and Black Hawk are both famous for their gold-mining history and the area is rich with landmarks and tourist attractions. The area is more well-known in the modern era for the gambling and casinos allowed to operate for the past 10 years. Idaho Springs, Colorado (in Clear Creek County) is also rich with mining history and landmarks to visit (including Mount Evans) and is located about 25 miles away. Famous Colorado ski areas are within a two hour or less drive up the I-70 corridor including such names as Breckenridge, Winter Park, Vail, Keystone, and Loveland. Recreation is NOT a problem in this area and can include limitless hiking, camping, rafting, bicycling, hunting, fishing, sight-seeing, etc.
This lot sits at about 9,000 feet in elevation. It is approximately six miles away from Black Hawk and right off the road known as Golden Gate Canyon (or State Highway 46). Golden, Colorado--which is a suburb of the Denver area--is only 12 miles away. You can reach downtown Denver in about 45 minutes so job commuting is not an issue. Boulder is only 45 minutes away as well. Smith Hill Road is located right before the entrance to Golden Gate Canyon State Park and there is lots of Forest Service Land farther down the road.
The lot offers a large amount of flat or nearly flat area to build a house and the rest gently slopes into a small ravine where a trickle of water runs into a natural spring. It is entirely treed as shown in the pictures with LOTS of aspen trees as well. In fact, Golden Gate Canyon is well named because the show of color in the fall is SPECTACULAR!!! The aspen trees are GORGEOUS in this area!! Wildlife abounds and there is the whole array to enjoy! Views to the southeast of the property are completely untouched by building--in other words, you can have a view with NO houses in sight!!! It also has great southern exposure!!
There was a well permit issued when the owners purchased but it is expired now--but getting it renewed should not be a problem. All utilities are accessible for hookup including electricity, phone, internet, dish tv, etc. Propane tanks are used for any natural gas needs. There is a new fire station being built on the 2 acre parcel next door which will help homeowner policy rates tremendously!! Also, because of casino revenue, Gilpin County offers one of the lowest property tax rates in the state! Owners currently pay right at $1500 a year for the property tax, all current and paid. The title to the land is free and clear.
The lot sits right off a county maintained road and is only .1 mile off the main stretch of Golden Gate Canyon road (a paved road). It is zoned residential but does allow for horses. Owners have spent three years cleaning up dead wood and thinning out dead trees so the property is in great condition. Local schools offer bussing for children and will pick them up right at the end of the road off Golden Gate Canyon. There is local postal service delivery available as well and UPS, FedEx, and DHL all offer delivery service in the area.
All landscaping as seen in the pictures is included--wagon and all!!
All serious offers will be discussed!! Sellers are very motivated to move this property!!
