Description
PRICE REDUCED! Private property in the Frank Church Wilderness is rare but seldom changes hands. This is a remarkable opportunity to own a piece of real estate inside the largest wilderness area in the lower 48 states. Located close to Stanley, Idaho, and Seafoam Guard Station, this parcel is one of the few pieces of private property you can drive to in the Frank Church.
The Mountain King Mine was established in 1884 and has a long history of being a productive galena/silver mine. Still functional and operational, the mine has two main portals into the mountain where ore has been taken. The sale includes two backhoes, a boring machine, a hammer mill, a rock crusher, generators, and miscellaneous tools to assist you if you continue exploring the mining potential.
Approximately 10 tons of crushed ore sit on-site, with assay reports of up to 230 oz. per ton of galena/silver.
Two comfortable cabins sit on the property, one of the original miner’s cabins dating back to the 1930s. The main cabin was built in 2002 with all the amenities you need to stay for long periods, including running water, an on-demand water heater, a wood fireplace, a propane cooking stove, a hot tub, and a loft. Water is piped into the cabin via an external tank. The main cabin runs off a generator.
The guest cabin is 218 sq/ft with a loft and two beds to accommodate your guests.
The Frank Church Wilderness offers a secluded recreational experience that includes hunting, fishing, whitewater rafting, and hiking. The Middle Fork of the Salmon River is only seven air miles away. The area sits in Hunting Unit 27 and has ample hunting opportunities every year. Mule deer and elk are prolific and migrate through the area in late fall. Thousands of people enjoy the wilderness every year, but very few will ever get the opportunity to enjoy it from their property! Call Land Specialist Brandon Hamilton for more information and to schedule a private tour.
