Incredible Opportunity - A Home Base That Pays You Back! This rare multi-family, flexible multi-use property features a live-work residence and an income-producing ADU with a retail/work space and a current post office lease. The historic property calls out to the entrepreneur, artist, creator, and smart investor looking for an income-producing asset with endless lifestyle configurations. Nestled perfectly on the scenic gateway corridor leading to Salida, CO, the majestic Great Sand Dunes National Park, and Crestone, this home/hub and former coffee shop has long been a seasoned waypoint beloved by travelers, artists, and adventurers alike. Experience lifestyle freedom: Sip coffee overlooking your shaded courtyard from the 3-bedroom apartment, then step through the garden gate to your cafe, artist studio, wellness office, or retail shop. If you choose to live in the ADU, slip through the "Magic Door" and find yourself "at work". The "dedicated space," a former, famous local coffee shop and roastery, boasts a fun, funky, and inviting Southwest vibe. This high-ceilinged, sunny common area is remarkably flexible--ready to serve your own income-producing dreams, leased to a local business, or integrated to increase the potential of your main living space. If those long-held coffee shop dreams are calling your name, you are in luck: the professional roasting and coffee-making equipment and essential supplies are already on-site and ready to go. Multiple entrances provide freedom to keep spaces wide open, completely closed off, or expanded to suit your evolving vision, all powered by an artesian well. Wild roses, trees, and a grassy, walled courtyard are accessible to both residences. This property has it all--flexible living, income streams, dunes, hot springs, and a relaxed mountain lifestyle. Anchored in local history and poised for its next steward, could that be you? Get ready to fall in love.
