Step back in time and stake your claim at the historic Golden Chariot Mine—an extraordinary property nestled just 2.5 miles from Highway 78 in the rugged Chariot Canyon of Julian, California. Surrounded entirely by expansive public lands, this off-grid sanctuary offers unmatched privacy, dramatic terrain, and sweeping views across the backcountry. A seasonal creek winds through the canyon below, enhancing the natural serenity of the setting. The property features multiple historic buildings, vintage mining vehicles, and equipment, as well as numerous shafts—including the notable "No. 1 Working Shaft"—offering tangible links to one of the most productive gold mines in Southern California history. Originally discovered in 1871 by George V. King, the Golden Chariot was once hailed for its rich gold-bearing quartz veins and unique association with tellurides and rare minerals. Over the years, the site has seen various phases of activity and remains a symbol of the gold rush era's legacy in the Julian Mining District. Today, the property stands as a compelling opportunity—for a private retreat, a family compound, bug-out location, speculative mining venture, or simply a piece of living history. With miles of trails, exploration, and recreational opportunities at your doorstep, the Golden Chariot Mine invites adventure, self-reliance, and imagination. Property conveys in as-is condition, and has known hazards, including open mining shafts.
