Minturn Real Estate
Minturn was developed primarily as a mining and railroad town in the late 1800s. The Rio Grande railroad line went through Minturn, where railroad workers from around the country settled and worked, installing extra engines in railroad cars in order to give them enough power to cross the steep mountain passes.
The Town of Minturn was incorporated in 1904, making it one of the oldest towns in Eagle County. Since then Minturn has evolved into a tourist town with charming shops and restaurants gracing an old fashioned Main Street.
Minturn is located two miles south of I-70 and only 10 minutes from Vail Village. Minturn preserves its "Old West" feeling, even with the addition of new commercial and residential properties. One of the most popular events in the community is the Minturn Farmer's Market, which runs weekly during the summer.
Minturn has seen a steady appreciation in the last year, as the Ginn Company seeks to development a good portion of Battle Mountain into a private ski resort. Stay tuned for all the action!
