Recreational Land for Sale in Central City, Colorado
1 Alps Hill Rd, Central City, CO 80427
Perched atop Alps Hill, this extraordinary mountain offering represents the pinnacle of a decade-long vision redefining contemporary alpine living in Gilpin County. Rising above the established VEDA MODERN community, the property encompasses the summit crest, properties to the east, and holdings at the base of neighboring Pewabic Mountain, creating a rare combination of privacy, infrastructure, and panoramic Front Range views.
Significant improvements are already in place. A county-compliant driveway reaches approximately 90% of the way to the summit, reducing future development costs and timelines. A recorded Boundary Line Adjustment establishes premium building envelopes positioned to maximize solar orientation, privacy, and mountain vistas. Additional patented mining claims and surrounding fractional interests provide an exceptional open-space buffer and seclusion.
Whether envisioned as a legacy estate, multi-generational retreat, or architecturally significant mountain compound, Alps Hill offers an extraordinary opportunity for intentional design in a remarkable alpine setting. Less than an hour from Metro Denver, the property offers access to Black Hawk, Central City, Idaho Springs, skiing, hiking, biking, rafting, and year-round recreation.
Few properties combine a true mountain summit, established access, defined building envelopes, surrounding open space, and proximity to Denver.
