Off-Grid Rental Business/Ultimate Family Compound for Sale

Stunning 27-acre property almost completely surrounded by national forest lands just 5 miles from Creede, Colorado.

This 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 I acquired back in 1997. Colorado has very strict development regulations which means this type of permit is likely not 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 facility. The permit automatically transfers to the new owner and allows 10 years from date of sale for final buildout.

Ultimate Family Compound/Retreat

Not interested in running a rental 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 two rental yurts can be claimed as guest houses since they are under 500 sq. ft. Also a great place to run and hide from everything if things get too crazy!

Property Features

Reason for Selling

Retiring and ready to hand the reigns to someone new. Whether you want the ultimate getaway property or are interested in a backcountry rental operation (or a hybrid of both) this property has it all

Mountain Town

Less than 5 miles from the mountain town of Creede, Colorado with grocery, gas and tourist shops as well as the nationally recognized Creede Repertory Theater

San Juan Mountains

Amazing views of the San Juans that must be experienced in-person to fully appreciate. Yet just a 15 minute drive back to Creede

Private Land

This is not a forest service land lease situation. The sale includes 27 acres of fee simple, private property almost completely surrounded by national forest lands. There are also two rental yurts on the property now with permission to add several more yurts or tiny homes plus a lodge and a shower house facility

Roads

The first 3.5 miles from town to the property is maintained by Mineral county. The last 1.5 miles is a lightly maintained 4WD forest service road. This rougher section of road keeps traffic low and ensures maximum privacy for guests or owners

Night Skies

Because of it's high altitude, dry atmosphere and lack of ambient light from nearby towns, Creede is considered one of the best stargazing locations in the U.S. The yurt property is at 10,600’ elevation and zero light pollution! Check out the many night sky guest photos on Airbnb

Hobby Business

This has been a fun hobby for me while I was involved with my full-time real estate business. The last several years I only operated May-Sep with zero employees and with just one yurt until about 4 years ago when another yurt was added. It's easy to get 5-star reviews because of the amazing location and setting. But because this has been operated just a few months per year as a hobby, there are no financials (other than gross sales figures from Airbnb rentals).

Owner's Statement:

It has been my life's mission to reconnect people to the natural world from which we all come. Nature has a way of healing and calming us when we actually take a break from the fast paced world we all share. As can be seen in the guest reviews of the yurts, almost everyone that stays at this amazing property has found solace, inspiration and rejuvenation from the non-stop overstimulation of modern technology and the world of machines. But now it's time to pass the torch and let someone else enjoy and share this property whether with the world or a handful of close family and friends.
