HISTORIC MINING PROPERTY...PART OF THE PHILLIPS LOAD...THE FIRST MINE LOAD IN ALMA. This absolutely beautiful 7 plus acre property was once an active gold mine. It was first mined by Buckskin Joe himself (joseph Higginbottom) and his gang of miners. In the day, the Phillips Load produced plenty of ore. You could try your hand at mining too or just make this your family legacy campground (according to County regulations). Located alongside Buckskin Gulch Road allows for year-round access. 4wheel drive vehicle recommended in the winter. Also, a large portion of the property boarders Pikes National Forest. Being close to the historic town of Alma provides convenient amenities or take a short drive to Breckenridge for resort fun. Buckskin Gulch Road is also the access to Kite Lake Mount Lincoln and Mount Democrat. Of mention, the town of Alma has recently been given a $2,000,000 grant for restoration and improvements of Buckskin Gulch. This is a beautiful piece of land and could be part of a wonderful experience for you and yours.
