Nearly 14 acres above the new Mighty Argo Gondola with intriguing potential for a cabin or glamping-style mountain retreat. **Recent conversations with Clear Creek County have been encouraging regarding cabin concepts in the Virginia Canyon corridor, provided applicable requirements are met.** Perched above the Mighty Argo Gondola in the heart of Idaho Springs, these two rare mining claims border Virginia Canyon Mountain Park and the COMBA/Trek trail system, with 14 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails nearby. Nearly 14 acres of south-facing land feature a flat build site with sweeping views of the gondola, mountains and public lands beyond. Electric poles are on-site, and with well and septic installation, possibilities include a custom mountain home (2) or private getaway. County-maintained Virginia Canyon Rd and established easements with a 15' access road provide convenient year-round access. Gertrude encompasses 9.17 acres and Edgardine 4.5 acres. Adjacent public land and the neighboring Harold claim home far below create an exceptionally private setting. Just minutes away, the year-round Mighty Argo Gondola offers a scenic 10-minute ride to the Upper Landing with decks, amphitheaters, food and beverage options, and nature/history trails overlooking the Continental Divide. Idaho Springs also puts you within 30–60 minutes of 5 major ski resorts, Clear Creek rafting and downtown restaurants and breweries. The area is already seeing tourism and lodging activity, including a planned cabin component with a wedding venue farther down Virginia Canyon Rd and plans for a hotel on neighboring property above these claims. No specific use is represented or guaranteed; buyer to independently verify zoning, permitted uses, access and development feasibility with Clear Creek County. More than vacant land, this is an opportunity to own a private piece of Colorado in a Virginia Canyon corridor experiencing exciting new recreation and tourism activity.
