Overview

This mixed-use property combines main-floor retail space with a second-floor residence. The ground level provides approximately 1,160 square feet of retail space, while the upper level includes about 930 square feet configured as a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home. A fenced area on the east side of the property provides an outdoor patio space adjacent to the building.

Located on Elk Avenue in Crested Butte’s historic business district, the property benefits from a walkable street setting within the community’s core commercial corridor. The existing retail tenant has operated there for nearly 20 years, reflecting long-term use of the storefront.

For buyers and operators, this setup offers a convenient way to pair street-level retail with on-site residential space. The building’s vertical layout creates separate living and business areas, and the fenced patio helps support tenant and resident outdoor comfort. The property is well-suited for an owner-operator seeking both commercial income potential and personal living space within the same structure.
