The property is located on 20 acres (with 100 acres shared) of Private land that include a section of Alps mountain. Located about 1/2 mile west of Idaho Springs across from the clear creek river with easy access from I70.

The area was known as the Spanish Bar during the late 1800 and was one of the richest areas for gold and silver. The property is adjacent to the Stanley mines, a former major copper and gold mine, which is anticipated to be a future adventure park. From May to July you can observe white water rafters on the river 100ft away.

The property is located at the base of Stanley Road and has an appx 900ft elevation and a 0.9 mile hike to the top. A switchback road goes almost to the top.
