Phoenix Ridge Parcels

The Phoenix Ridge parcels consist of 9 tracts of patented mining claims comprising 87 acres. Each of these parcels is private, fee simple property and enjoys the same rights as any other private land (subject to county zoning). Unpatented mining claims differ from patented mining claims in that only the right to mine the property is conveyed. Patented claims receive a deed from the U.S. Government transferring the property from federally held ownership to private ownership. A permanent cabin or home may be built on each of the 9 parcels. All of the properties are less than one mile from a plowed road in the winter.

The Cliff and the Holy Moses No. 3 patented mining claims

This stunning property offers views that rival any in Colorado. A large portion of the property is level, which is a rare bonus in these mountains. The land features a beautiful high-mountain meadow comprised of several acres, where moose can often be seen feeding. The remainder of the acreage is wooded with aspen, spruce and bristlecone pines. The east side of the property is bordered by a spectacular drop-off into 1,000' deep East Willow Canyon, with great views of the La Garita mountains. The acreage is surrounded on 3 sides by national forest with very few other parcels of private property in the area. Located just two miles from the La Garita Wilderness Area and only 4 1/2 driving miles from Creede. This property is truly one-of-a-kind! These two parcels are adjacent to each other and will not be sold separately.

20 Acres $224,900

Holy Moses No. 1 patented mining claim

This historic property is the site of the first silver strike in the area and subsequent naming of the town after miner Nicholas Creede, the property's original owner. The remains of three miners cabins and dining hall can still be seen, along with the top terminal building of a tramway and Creede's original log cabin built over the actual discovery site. Incredible building site overlooking the 1,000' drop off to E. Willow Creek below.
