Located in the vicinity of Crystal Townsite, this 10.3-acre patented mining claim, known as Buckeye Boy No. 1, is an in-holding completely surrounded by the Maroon Bells/Snowmass Wilderness. Being patented, the land is privately owned, requiring no mining activity to maintain ownership. The property features mostly level ground and sits feet from the southwest edge of Mineral Point, with cliffs overlooking Crystal City, including the historic Crystal Mill. The mill and adjacent town are subject to a plan to create a high-end backcountry destination resort and ski area. The old stagecoach trail runs through the Buckeye Boy No. 1 claim. Currently, the property is accessible by a single-wide wilderness trail, passing waterfalls and mine tunnel portals. The property includes the remains of the original log miners' cabin and a 30 ft tunnel into the quartz cliff. Strategically situated on the west edge of Mineral Point above Crystal City, the claim could support a cable-car gondola from Crystal City to the top of Mineral Point. A pit-well with water is located atop Mineral Point near the cabin remains. The current owner has retained the property for its views and solitude, as well as its value for activities such as trekking, llama trekking, and horseback riding.
