Two miles north of booming Black Hawk, one mile from the newly completed Hidden Treasure Trailhead, one half mile from the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway (Hwy 119), and a short distance along County maintained Apex Valley Rd., you will find 007 Apex (address not yet assigned to parcel). This outstanding 2.88 acre parcel is now brought to market after long term ownership. Historic 007 Apex was created from a section of the Nugget Placer #8558 (patented September 5th, 1893), and a section of the Valverde Lode #785. Placer ownership is rare, but exceedinly rare when mineral rights are still married to the surface, as is the case with 007 Apex. Placers also suggest water, and that which meanders YEAR LONG through the middle of this property is the contemplative sounds and bubbling clear waters of North Clear Creek. Very usable acreage to the north and south of this creek.

From Apex Valley Rd., the topography is flat entering into the property, with a lovely drive sweeping towards a bridge (needs reconstructing) over North Clear Creek leading to a vast, mountain wildflower dotted meadow that is flat and large enough to accomodate a very large home. In fact, wider than 2 of your typical stacked 150 ft. claims. There is also a view of the Continental Divide to the West. The backdrop to this meadow and to the south is a towering aspen forest, naturally framing the vast meadow. Sun blankets the site from east to west, affording breathtaking sunrises and calming sunsets. The aspen lead to pines, and further south are old wagon roads and relics of Colorado's famed gold rush. This site doesn't need tens of thousands of dollars blasting rock, there is no need for a private road maintainace agreement between neighbors, there is little forest to clear, and the creek is not 'seasonal.' Power is available. The property is less than 1 hour's drive to Denver. Don't pass up this opportunity to witness a parcel with features that differentiate it from everything else on the market.
