TOWN OF CRESTED BUTTE
413 Second Street This is quintessential Crested Butte. The historic Kikel residence was one of a half dozen bars that at one time lined Second Street offering the miners many opportunities for a cold beer after coming down from the mine. While the old bar still remains, the house has served as a residence for over 60 years. There was an upgrade done in about 2003 that included a new foundation, wiring, plumbing as well as some structural improvements. There are 4 gas heating stoves as well as electrical backup. The home has 2 bedrooms on the main floor and 2 additional upstairs and a total of 3 bathrooms. At the rear of the property, a small yard separates the house from the historic, 600 sq ft log barn. The barn, with Town approval, could be renovated for use as a garage or possibly an accessory dwelling. The property is within the R3C Zone, which, with a conditional use permit, could be used for a variety of business purposes.

mining claims & backcountry about seasonal Properties Looking for an affordable place to build your mountain cabin, have a private summer camping spot, create a hunting retreat, or just to own a property completely “Off the Grid”? The mountains surrounding Crested Butte are filled with mining claims and vacant land that is not being mined and may be ideal for your true getaway cabin. There are numerous seasonal access properties or mining claims in the Kebler Pass, Schofield, Gothic, and Tin Cup areas. Gunnison County has 1216 Patent Mining Claims totaling 22,524 acres of land—three times more claims than any other county in Colorado! The claim is no longer public land and both the land and the mineral rights contained in it become the property of the patent holder. These properties offer mountains, rivers/streams, trees, giant views, and very few neighbors! The professionals at Coldwell Banker Mountain Properties are your go-to source for all details pertaining to these kinds of properties including accessibility, water rights, well issues, and compliance with the county’s land use resolution. 37

commercial real estate about commercial real estate When people think of Commercial real estate, they often picture tall office buildings or malls. The Gunnison Valley doesn’t have a lot of those, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t opportunities. Commercial investments range from apartment buildings, storage units, vacant land in commercial areas, office buildings and buildings or spaces for restaurants and retail. Businesses like restaurants and retail stores are offered for sale pretty consistently without any real property. Evaluating commercial opportunities is different from purchasing residential property so it is important to have an agent with commercial experience to guide you.
