Private property in the Frank Church Wilderness is not only rare but seldom does it change 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 first 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 misc. tools to assist you if you continue exploring the mining potential. Two comfortable cabins sit on the property, as well as 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. A helicopter pad has been built near the top cabin. 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 7 air miles away. The area sits in Hunting Unit 27 with ample hunting opportunities every year. Mule deer and elk are prolific and migrate right 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 own property!
