The land sits along Nugget Hill Road, a dirt road off Lefthand Canyon Drive roughly eight miles up the canyon from US-36, in the historic Central Mining District.

From the higher ground, views stretch across the surrounding foothills and east to the plains. The ground is mostly sloped, with gentler areas worth exploring as potential building sites. The largest parcel is 38.77 acres. The other two are patented mining claims of 1.35 and 2.88 acres, portions of the Last Dollar and Olympia lodes, privately titled land tied to the canyon’s mining history. The property also borders national forest, extending the sense of open space well past the boundary lines. Nugget Hill Road reaches the property from two directions, with access points roughly 862 feet apart, giving flexibility when planning a driveway and homesite.

Own your private front row seat to Mt. Meeker, Longs Peak and the Continental Divide with this 40-acre mountain property, offered as two contiguous buildable parcels of 16 and 24 acres, sold together only. From several vantage points across the land, the horizon is filled with Meeker, Longs and Chiefs Head Peak, with Wild Basin and the Indian Peaks completing the panorama. This is the kind of open, unobstructed view that's rarely available and even more rarely paired with buildable, ready-to-develop acreage.Each parcel has its own well, Boulder County Buildable Lot Determination, and electricity is available at each property line, so key infrastructure is already in reach. Both parcels are accessed by a private gated road directly off Highway 7. There are any number of spots across the land to set up a 5th wheel or camper, whether you want a mountain getaway now or a base camp while you plan and build. A small, rustic shed-sized cabin with a wood stove is also on the property, a simple shelter with potential as a warming hut, gear storage or a weekend project. Beyond the peaks, the land itself delivers: a beautiful meadow that fills with wildflowers, forested slopes and long views through the trees, and abundant wildlife.The forest has been thoughtfully cared for under a fire mitigation and forest management plan developed in cooperation with the Colorado State Forest Service's Forest Ag Program, meaning much of the hard work of stewardship has already been done. Taxes reflect participation. Build one exceptional homesite and hold the second parcel as a buffer or a future opportunity, or develop both. Either way, all 40 acres and the views that come with them convey together, and they don't get better than this.
