Owning a couple of iconic waterfalls would have to be the most Colorado flex you could make, right? Here’s your chance…

The real estate agency Best of Pagosa Springs listed a collection of five mining claims in the Telluride area, which include Bear Creek Falls and Upper Bear Creek Falls.

The five claims span 33 acres and are entering the real estate market for the first time in more than 100 years at a price of $14,999,995.

The group of mining claims is located just two miles from downtown Telluride and is adjacent to Telluride’s Bear Creek Preserve.

Bear Creek Falls is currently listed as the number two attraction in Telluride, behind only the Telluride Mountain Village Gondola, holding a five-star rating, so it could make for a profitable tourist attraction. The listing compares Bear Creek Falls to Hanging Lake, Seven Falls and the Maroon Bells, all of which utilize fee-based visitation in some way.
