Rare opportunity to own a significant collection of historic patented mining claims in the heart of Colorado’s legendary Galena Mining District near Lake City in Hinsdale County. This offering includes a 90% undivided interest in six patented lode mining claims totaling approximately 53.69 acres, including the Accidental No. 2 Lode Claim (USMS No. 315), American Eagle Lode Claim (USMS No. 317), Big Horn Lode Claim (USMS No. 313), Iron Mask Lode Claim (USMS No. 318A), Printer Boy Lode Claim (USMS No. 314), and Mountain Giant Lode Claim (USMS No. 316). Steeped in Colorado mining history, these claims lie within one of the San Juan Mountains’ most storied mineral belts, known historically for rich silver, lead, zinc, and gold production during the great mining booms of the late 1800s. Surrounded by towering alpine peaks, rugged wilderness, and vast National Forest lands, this property offers unmatched recreational access and mountain character. Hinsdale County is one of the most remote and scenic counties in the lower 48 states, with over 96% public land, making privately held patented claims exceptionally rare. The area is renowned for world-class jeeping, ATV riding, hiking, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and backcountry exploration. Numerous historic mining roads and high mountain passes are nearby, providing endless adventure opportunities in every season. Wildlife is abundant throughout the region, with elk, mule deer, moose, black bear, and bighorn sheep frequently seen in the surrounding mountains, making this a fantastic hunting option for trophy GMU 66. Whether you are seeking a hunting property, recreational retreat, long-term investment, legacy property, or a unique piece of Colorado’s mining heritage, this collection of patented claims offers incredible potential in one of the most sought-after mountain regions in the state. With breathtaking scenery, rich history, and limited private ownership in the San Juans, opportunities like this rarely come available. Mineral Rights Included: "Together with all gold, silver, molybdenum, minerals, metals, ores, and other mineral bearing substances located therein..."Priced to sell. Seasonal access off of Engineer Pass. Property being sold “As is Where is.” Boundaries are approximate.
