Property Description

Welcome to the Spring Placer Mining Claim, a rare and expansive 97 acre parcel nestled in the scenic Quartz Creek Valley, just before the historic town of Pitkin. This stunning property offers a unique blend of history, pasture, and natural beauty. Formerly used as cattle pasture, the land includes valuable water rights and is bordered by National Forest, offering endless recreational opportunities. Quartz Creek meanders through the property, complemented by the historic Armstrong Ditch and overhead power already in place. An old rock foundation remains as a nod to the property’s rich past, and the original railroad bed into Pitkin still runs along the edge of the parcel. Current owners have had 75 head of cattle grazing the pasture lands in the Summers. Majority of the property is fully fenced with a couple small sections bordering National Forest that aren’t fenced. With year round access, water features, power availability, and direct proximity to public land, this property is ideal for a variety of uses, from a private mountain retreat to agricultural or recreational development.
