Land with Home for Sale in Idaho Springs, Colorado
854 Old Little Bear Creek Rd, Idaho Springs, CO 80452
Rare opportunity to own a true Colorado miner's cabin on 2.3 private acres with a year-round creek, just 6 minutes from Idaho Springs and only 20 minutes from the west Denver metro area. Properties like this are difficult to find—combining mountain seclusion, solid construction, and exceptional access.
Built to last, the cabin features heavy insulation, premium 20-gauge steel roofing and siding, and quality craftsmanship throughout. The loft sleeping area maximizes the living space, while the 144-square-foot covered front porch provides the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring the mountains.
The property includes a 10' x 12' metal-roof storage shed with plenty of room for tools, mining equipment, ATVs, hunting gear, or outdoor toys. Located just 0.3 miles from a county-maintained road, access is surprisingly easy, and most vehicles with reasonable ground clearance can reach the property.
The land itself is what sets this property apart. Situated on a historic mining claim with documented gold, a year-round creek, and surrounded by Colorado's rich mining history, it's an outstanding basecamp for prospecting, hunting, hiking, off-roading, and year-round mountain adventure. Cell service is available at the property, offering modern convenience without sacrificing the feeling of getting away.
Whether you're looking for a mountain headquarters, weekend escape, investment property, or a place to enjoy Colorado's outdoors, this turnkey cabin delivers privacy, durability, history, and adventure in one exceptional package.
