Overview

This property is a 47.69-acre parcel suited for off-grid recreation, with a mix of timbered terrain and open range land. It includes the patented mining lodes known as the Wedge, Copper Key, and South Peacock claims, and remnants from the historic South Peacock Mine operation are still visible on-site, including mine tailings. The overall character of the land supports an outdoor-focused use, including ATV riding and horseback exploration.

The parcel is described as a secluded high-mountain retreat near Kinney Point and Sheep Rock Peak, with access across Copper Creek. The east and south boundaries are surrounded by Forest Service land, which can help frame the property with additional public land context.

For buyers seeking recreational land with an identifiable mining-claims component, this combination of timber and open range, plus visible historical mine features, offers a distinctive ownership experience. The Forest Service boundary on two sides may also appeal to those looking for privacy and a more natural setting for year-round exploration, within the limits of the access described in the listing.
