Property Description

Your imagination is the only limitation!! Opportunity is knocking..Take a minute to listen and assess the many ways that owning this property could change your life. The adorable bungalow style home is move-in ready! Featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom and a partially finished basement, there is plenty of room for you to live comfortably while you run your business right next door. No more commuting to work everyday. OR, it could become the office/reception area for your future business endeavor. While this property has been used as a motel since the 1940's, perhaps it is time for a change! The exterior footprint must remain the same. However, the interior has minimal restrictions. The 5 spacious motel rooms could easily be transformed to suit your needs. Here are a few fun ideas to get your creative juices flowing; an art studio with it’s own gallery/showroom, a beauty salon/spa with nail and massage rooms, a multi-generational living space, a fly fishing shop directly across from The Arkansas River, a storefront for a plumber, electrician or other trade or simply a multi office strip mall. Perfectly located 15 minutes from Salida, convenience is not a concern and with local commuters and Seasonal tourists passing by daily, visibility will never be an issue. This historic building is worthy of your time, attention and creativity. The massive parking lot is ready to be filled with your customers and clients. Call me today for a private tour. The home itself is 1,900 SF, the motel is 3,389 SF for a total of 5,289 SF.
