Off-Grid Rental Business/Ultimate Family Compound

This stunning 27-acre property is almost completely surrounded by national forest lands just 5 miles from the eclectic mountain town of Creede, CO. A short 15-minute drive on county and forest service roads takes you back to Creede with its many amenities (including a nationally recognized repertory theatre). The property has two distinct possible uses - as an off-grid rental business or as the Ultimate Family Compound retreat. Off-grid rentals: Buyer has the option to expand the current 2-yurt rental business under a pre-approved, transferable development permit from Mineral County which was acquired by the current owner in 1997. Colorado has onerous environmental and development regulations which means this permit is unlikely available today. Permit allows up to 24 guests in 6-9 yurts, plus 2-4 cabins or tiny homes, a lodge and a shower house (no size restrictions listed). The permit automatically transfers to the new owner and allows 10 years for final buildout after purchase. Current owner has operated the property as a small hobby business for many years. Ultimate Family Retreat: Not interested in the business? The property is the perfect getaway for a family compound where each family member/friend has their own place on one big property. The 2 existing rental yurts are allowed as guest houses since they under 500 sq. ft. if desired. You must stand on this property to truly experience its remoteness and beauty, yet easy accessibility to town.
