Tucked deep into the Colorado foothills just outside of Idaho Springs, this 37.8-acre parcel in Hidden Wilderness offers a rare opportunity to own true recreational land with direct access to the wild. Bordering the Arapahoe National Forest on two sides, this property lives far beyond its boundaries and opens up thousands of acres of public land for off-roading, backcountry exploring, hunting, hiking, and year-round adventure.

Positioned near the summit of Santa Fe Mountain. The setting is dramatic, with sweeping, unobstructed views across the Continental Divide, surrounding peaks, and deep alpine valleys. It’s the kind of place where sunrise and sunset both stop you in your tracks. At night, the stars take over in a way you just don’t get closer to the city.

Access is part of the story here. The historic mining road that runs to and up to the peak of the property is passable with a high-clearance 4X4 vehicle or capable OHV. This rugged road leads to a natural ridge-top clearing, perfectly positioned to take in the views. It’s an ideal spot for camping, staging your gear, or creating an off-grid basecamp that feels completely removed from the day-to-day.

For buyers searching for Colorado mountain land, off-grid acreage, or a private recreational retreat near Denver, this checks a very specific box. Whether you're an off-road enthusiast, hunter, or someone looking for a legacy parcel to hold and enjoy, this is a true “use it and escape” property.

Please note: Property is accessed via a private (4x4) road with multiple locked gates. Do not attempt to drive by.

Showings are by appointment only.
