42+-acre Parcel Listed by Fuller Sotheby’s International Realty for $950,000
Imagine a fist-sized gold nugget hidden beneath a skeleton key boulder on Hicks Mountain, deserted, untouched, and ripe for the picking since 1895. This is the stuff legends are made of – or is it? A gold prospector on the brink of a snowstorm found treasure in Evergreen’s Hicks Mountain with plans to retrieve his prize as the weather tempered. Blustery windstorms and an onslaught of snow kept the old prospector at bay. Come spring he searched for the lost gold with all his might but could not locate the boulder resembling a skeleton key. Determined to claim his fortune, the old man convinced his family the gold nugget was out there amidst the hills and outcroppings, and the legend of lost gold lived on.
