With surface and mineral rights included through a patented claim, this property places you amid the legend of Alder Gulch and the excitement of Virginia City's past. It’s an ideal off-grid retreat, perfect for hunting, camping, or prospecting. While rustic, the prospects of solitude, sweeping views, and wildlife abound in this scenic and storied landscape. Timbered terrain attracts deer and elk; ideal for primitive camping, prospecting, hunting, and “getaway” use. Charming vista points and proximity to Lewis & Clark National Forest add recreational value. Don’t just buy land—own a piece of the gold rush itself.
