Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Central City, Colorado
1 Bonanza Rdg, Central City, CO 80427
Introducing Bonanza Ridge—a prominent ridgeline overlooking Historic Central City and one of the most significant mountain land opportunities within Colorado's Central Mining District. Thoughtfully assembled by Bonanza Land LLC over three decades, this approximately 72-acre offering is presented publicly for the first time.
Beginning near Eureka and Barrett Streets, the property follows a mountain crest above the city through mature aspen groves, granite outcroppings, open meadows, and gently rolling terrain. Bonanza Ridge combines immediate proximity to Central City's historic commercial district with the character of an undeveloped alpine landscape. Expansive views extend across Spring Gulch, Quartz Hill, surrounding mountains, and the historic Victorian city below.
The assemblage consists of patented mining claims and city lots. Existing public streets and nearby utility infrastructure provide a foundation for future planning. Bonanza Land LLC's nearby five-home Roworth Heights project demonstrated the successful subdivision, historic review, entitlement, and development process within Central City. Future concepts for Bonanza Ridge remain subject to planning, engineering, zoning, infrastructure design, and governmental approvals. No representation is made regarding density, subdivision potential, utilities, or entitlements.
Few properties combine this scale, history, proximity, and alpine setting. Bonanza Ridge presents an exceptional opportunity for a legacy mountain neighborhood or premier long-term land investment within one of Colorado's most historic communities.
