Here is a rare opportunity to own a bit of history! Located on 5 beautiful acres of tall pines, with a long stretch of Silver Creek running through it, the Chalmer's Mansion was erected sometime around 1872 and is home to the first smelter in the Silver Mountain area. This smelter still stands today! A silver boomtown in 1866, the mansions owner initially came to Silver Mountain City to develop silver mines and eventually acquired the Exchequer mine (and others) located near the property, where he eventually built his home. It became known as the Chalmers Mansion. With a then a population of 3000 people, Silver Mountain City was the county seat of Alpine County from 1864-1875. Portions of the city jail still stand at the historical site located near the Mansion, off of Highway 4. Although currently uninhabitable, this home has tons of potential! It is located "off GRID" with no power available. There is no well on the property, but in the past, the current owner has utilized gravity flow water from a spring that is located above the property which they have water rights to. The system hasn't been used for a few years and will need to be rebuilt OR there may be the possibility of drilling a well on the parcel (needs to be confirmed with Alpine County). There is a septic tank and leach field which was installed in approximately 2007. A propane tank is at the property and is used for the water heater and the kitchen range. Access may be limited during heavy winters. Ebbett's Pass (Hwy 4) is gated when there is snow accumulation, so the only access would be by snowmobile, a tracked ATV or vehicle, or on foot.
