| COMMERCIAL - Converted Colorado Mansion - 8 Plex
Don't miss this rare opportunity to acquire one of the Arkansas River Valley's finest converted estate homes. Currently an 8-unit apartment house, this property also offers possibilities for use as a bed & breakfast, professional (business or medical) offices, co-op, condo-conversion, art gallery, or a private residence for one or more families. Originally a grand single-family residence, this Craftsman Colorado estate mansion is now divided into 8 separate apartments, including the carriage house. 14.5 bedrooms, 8 kitchens, eight baths, for a total of 37 rooms, on a double city lot. (Please see details below.) All units include full baths, kitchens and living rooms, and the comfort of hot water heat. Custom painted woodwork throughout. The front, two bedroom apartment, and garden-level, three bedroom apartments both have fireplaces with attractive screens. Owner isn't sure if the chimneys are in working order, because they are closed to prevent heating and cooling loss. The front porch features architectural detailing and a seating area. Most floors are either carpeted or tiled. Owner believes the sub-floor on the main and second floor of the main house is pine slats, and could probably be refinished for wood flooring.
The double corner 100 X 140 lot contains the main house, plus a separate "carriage house." Two 3-car parking areas are concrete, plus the gravel parking lot is large enough for two cars and/or a motor home.
Located in the friendly farm and ranch community of Rocky Ford (rockyfordchamber.net), in Otero County (sangres.com/counties/ctyotero.htm), 90 miles southeast of Colorado Springs, 54 miles east of Pueblo, 11 miles west of La Junta, and 150 miles SE of Denver, in the Arkansas River Valley. Appealing to vacationers, and business travelers due to its close proximity to Highway 50 East, and the Amtrak train station (in association with Trails and Rails). The city golf course is only a few blocks away. Also close to many historic sites in the area including Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site, the Koshare Indian Museum, Picketwire Canyon (with dinosaur tracks), and the Santa Fe Trail.
There are still numerous opportunities for you to put your own finishing touches on this fine property . There is truly no way to reproduce the ambiance of this period home with modern construction, without spending much more than the asking price. This property offers possibilities for use as an apartment house, bed & breakfast, extended stay retreat, professional medical and/or business offices, co-op, condo-conversion or a private residence for one or more families. Apartments 1 - 6 include dining room furniture. All units include electric ranges, refrigerators, garbage disposers, GFI's in most kitchens and baths, and hard-wired smoke alarms (except Apt. 8, which contains a battery-operated smoke alarm.)
