Escape to the rugged beauty of Idaho Springs with this off-grid fixer-upper cabin nestled on 5 private acres surrounded by towering aspens and breathtaking mountain views. With direct access to Miners Candle road, this remote property is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and self-sufficient living, offering a rare opportunity for no-restriction hunting right on your land. Whether you’re looking to renovate a rustic retreat, build your dream getaway, or create a basecamp for year-round adventures, this cabin offers incredible potential in a peaceful, secluded setting. Don’t miss your chance to own a slice of Colorado wilderness with endless possibilities.
The only driving route to access the property for non-offroad vehicles is the following: take Trail Creek Road from Stanley Road- do not attempt taking Turkey Gulch Road. From Trail Creek Road, take Miners Candle Road all the way to the property. There is a gate eventually on Miners Candle Road to access this property (the first house on the right) as well as others in the neighborhood. A private driveway can fairly easily be created directly from Miners Candle Rd to the house site if desired.
