About this home
Iconic Piece of the American West: Historic May Day Gold Mine Discover the historic May Day gold mine property—a remarkable 154.29-acre tract nestled just 16 miles from Durango, CO, in the heart of the San Juan Mountains. This unique property offers a rare opportunity for those seeking the ultimate blend of natural beauty, history, and outdoor adventure. The property is equipped with power access at the road and includes several potential homesites where you can build your dream mountain retreat. With approximately 0.4 miles of the La Plata River meandering through, this land is an anglers paradise. The La Plata is a renowned trout fishery, hosting rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout in its pristine waters, along with ideal fishing conditions for fly fishing enthusiasts. Explore the legendary May Day mine—one of Colorado’s most prolific gold mines. While the mine currently holds active permits, it is presently in cessation, offering buyers flexibility in its future use. For hunters, the property is located in Game Management Unit 74, frequented by mule deer, elk, and bear. Adjacent to 150,000 acres of the San Juan National Forest, this land offers a private gateway to an otherwise hard-to-access section of the forest, ensuring unmatched privacy and solitude. A well-maintained two-track road system provides access throughout the property, including scenic routes to historic mine sites and the National Forest boundary. The land’s topography is diverse, featuring mature stands of aspen, cottonwood, ponderosa pine, spruce, and scrub oak, creating an ideal habitat for wildlife. Located near Hesperus, Durango, and notable attractions such as Lake Nighthorse, Mesa Verde National Park, and the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, this property provides easy access to year-round recreational opportunities, including skiing at Purgatory and Hesperus Ski Areas. Whether you envision building a custom mountain home, utilizing the property as a prime hunting and fishing retreat, or mining for gold, this iconic piece of the American West is truly a once-in-a-lifetime offering.
