9551 Rose Group, Leadville, CO 80461
This exceptional group of four parcels, 67 acres in total, is surrounded by National Forest and offers a unique opportunity to own along Empire Hill, just south of Empire Gulch and north of Weston Pass. These parcels boast amazing mountain views and unparalleled access to mountain ridgelines, Empire Reservoir, and skiing right out of your backyard. You will pass the Emma and Marceline Yurts in the last quarter mile on the way up to these 67 acres, perched at and above treeline. Property highlights include a road to and through the property (a high clearance vehicle is recommended in the summertime and the road is not maintained during winter,) multiple building spots nestled within the trees, terrain with various slope angles and aspects, and amazing proximity to hiking, biking, skiing and outdoor adventures in general. The parcels were recently professionally surveyed and all the corners have been pinned. Google Earth file available upon request. This acreage is located within Lake County's Backcountry Zoning which allows low-impact development in the form of a single-family home or backcountry structure. With ample space and breathtaking views, your open land or dream off-grid ski hut awaits!
