4.18 acres. Public land on two sides. Build-ready. Under an hour from Denver.
Set in the heart of historic mining country, the West Chester parcel offers 4.18 acres of mountain land with sweeping sunset views of the Front Range and Continental Divide - all less than an hour from Denver.
Build-ready and positioned for exceptional mountain privacy, this property offers a combination that’s increasingly difficult to find so close to the city. With road access, a driveway, and excavation already completed for a future build site, much of the initial groundwork has been done - allowing you to focus on bringing your vision to life.
Named for the patented West Chester Mine located on the property, the land carries a quiet sense of history while offering real, usable potential today. Bordering public land on two sides, the setting feels expansive and protected, with direct access to the surrounding terrain.
This location sits near Alps Hill, a growing enclave of high-design mountain homes, and just minutes from Central City, Black Hawk, and Idaho Springs, where dining, culture, and year-round recreation are close at hand. Enjoy proximity to the Mighty Argo Cable Car, Maryland Mountain trails, and Golden Gate Canyon, with easy access to nearby amenities without sacrificing privacy.
This build site captures the beauty of high-country living, with a mix of open space, tree cover, and long-range views. Buyers relocating from Denver or searching for a second-home retreat will appreciate the balance of scenery, privacy, and convenience.
Zoned for residential use with potential for recreational mining, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Colorado’s mining heritage while creating something entirely your own.
