Pristine 96-Acre Legacy Mountain Compound - Surrounded by National Forest with Direct Ski Access Introduction Offered to the market for the first time ever, this magnificent 96-acre Colorado wilderness estate, part of the historic El Capitan Mining Claim, represents an unrepeatable opportunity to own a private mountain estate comprised of two adjacent parcels (35 acres and 60 acre mining claims) in Eagle County. The property serves as the ultimate blank canvas for an ultra-luxury family compound or a private sanctuary. Surrounded on all sides by untouched National Forest, the land offers complete sensory seclusion where the only sounds are the whispers of the forest, the smell of crisp clean air and epic panoramic views unique to Colorado. Unrivaled Location & Ski Access This private location balances wilderness immersion with access to amenities via Highway 24. Direct Ski-In Access: Borders Ski Cooper, allowing for the ability to ski directly from the property onto the ski slopes. 3 Miles to the base of Ski Cooper 13 Miles to the historic town of Minturn. 46 Miles to the world-renowned dining and slopes of Vail. Elite Development Rights & Architectural Flexibility The estate comes with two rare building rights in Eagle County, providing an incoming buyer with total flexibility across the two contiguous parcels: Option 1: The Multi-Parcel Legacy Compound Construct a grand primary estate on the 60-acre parcel and a secondary luxury guest lodge or family chalet on the 35-acre parcel. Option 2: Ultimate Multi-Family Co-Ownership Develop two completely independent luxury mountain residences-one on each parcel-allowing for side-by-side private estates. Option 3: The Mega-Estate Sanctuary Utilize one parcel for an architectural masterpiece and preserve the second parcel as an untouched, private recreational playground and wildlife buffer. Option 4: Your Dream! On a 35+ acre unincorporated parcel in Eagle County, Colorado without an HOA, you can typically build the following: 1 Primary single-family residence 1 Accessory dwelling unit (ADU), Many Agricultural structures Because 35 acres meets the state and county low-density threshold (often zoned as Resource or similar rural districts), you have broad rights, though county building permits and environmental rules still apply. Read to the bottom for more details under Building in Eagle County Land, Wildlife & Sovereign Privacy True Wilderness Isolation: 96 acres of heavily wooded, pristine terrain featuring mature timber stands, dramatic varied elevations with gentle slopes, and majestic alpine vistas. Guaranteed Security: Accessed via a private road protected by a heavy-duty privacy gate, restricting entry to both parcels. Exclusive Transit Rights: Benefits from private-use-only National Forest easements, ensuring access remains strictly exclusive. Thriving Ecosystem: An active corridor for local wildlife, heavily frequented by native elk herds, making it an extraordinary private hunting and eco-conservation tract. Infrastructure, Utilities & Value-Adds Full Mineral Rights Included: A rare asset addition in Colorado, ensuring complete control over the long-term protection of the land. Blank Canvas Utilities: Zero existing structural restrictions, allowing for the design of cutting-edge, self-sustaining infrastructure or custom utility layouts. Premium Access: Frontage off Highway 24 leads directly to a well-maintained private of class 5 road base, simplifying the logistics for construction and access. History of El Capitan Estates Situated in the high-elevation terrain near Leadville, Colorado, the historic El Capitan mine is a charming, small-scale prospect that reflects the area's vibrant 19th-century mining legacy. This local, high-altitude claim is noted by the USGS as a past producer of native gold, offering an authentic glimpse into the adventurous spirit of the region's quartz-embedded mineral rush. Building in Eagle County Allowable Buildings Primary Residence: One custom single-family home. Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU): Allowed by right on parcels of 35 acres or more in resource districts (typically limited to a maximum floor area around 1,800 square feet). Agricultural Buildings: Barns, stables, and sheds used strictly for farming, ranching, or keeping livestock (exempt from standard residential fees if purely agricultural and non-habitable). County Rules and Restrictions Permits Required: You must still pull county building permits for human-habitable structures, electrical, plumbing, and septic systems via the Eagle County Building Department. Environmental & Safety Standards: Construction must adhere to wildfire hazard mitigation, ridgeline protection, and wildlife protection codes enforced by the county. Water and Utilities: Off-grid parcels require a permitted well (via the Colorado Division of Water Resources) and an engineered septic design, as municipal hookups will not be available.

As you drive past this impressive operation, set on the 7.4 acre Farm Headquarters, you travel towards the heart of the farm which is the remaining 170+/- acres of Colorado Mountain meadows and fields. The farm was first operated as Rivendell sod farm that operated since the late 90's. The success of the sod farm comes from the layout of the land and the abundant water sources that pour onto the property year-round. There are 4 sources of water on the property that have helped produce over $1,000,000.00 in revenue a year in sod without ever running dry! Due to interest in preserving the soil, the owner diversified from sod to hay, laying the foundations to produce up to 750 tons of high-quality hay annually. Later in the life of the farm, it was used as a ranch, focusing on a finishing capacity of up to 100 head of cattle, fed with quality grass and clean water. Although the operations have quieted on the farm, the potential has not. The value of the land has remained strong, and the water continues to flow year after year from the senior water rights that run with the property.

Exceptional Water Rights The farm's life blood is fed by some of the oldest adjudicated water rights in the region, with priority dates reaching back to 1889. This farm has senior water rights on the ditch with one other share being less than a 1/10. The primary water flows from an underground aquifer and is filtered through basalt rock as it runs year round through the property at an average of 50 degree Fahrenheit. The flow is constant, adjudicated, perfected and senior. A year-round natural spring feeds four ponds and secures more than three CFS of water, ensuring sufficient resources for irrigation, habitat, and future improvements. This second spring also feeds the main house which was used to staff employees. The home is currently in need of repair and would be best recycled and rebuilt. 2 other wells exist on the property to supply the commercial distribution operation and to fill holding ponds. These rights create a fire-resilient, drought-proof landscape - a rarity among Colorado properties.
