Owner Financing Possible. Rent out the commercial portion and you could potentially live rent/mortgage free! Welcome to Historic, Downtown Del Norte! This 6,000-square-foot building features 2,000 square feet of residential in the rear of the building, and 4,000 of commercial in the front. The commercial section is currently an artist's studio, but it's a blank canvas (pun intended) for you to build your small-town live/work dream. (Also listed as commercial, MLS# 834169) The residential portion of the building consists of two spaces, each with its own exterior door, so they could be converted into two apartments instead of one. One side currently has a kitchen and a 1/4 bath, the other side has a full bath. There are no interior walls, so it will take some work, but the possibilities are endless. PLEASE NOTE: Some photos have been altered using AI to remove tenants' furnishings and personal effects. The actual space is occupied, and looks much different. Photos are included to represent the space; a personal tour is required before making an offer. VRBO/Airbnb rentals are OK, subject to the town of Del Norte regulations and guidelines. The electrical and most of the plumbing was updated in (roughly) 2005, so the pipes and wiring should not be of any concern. In addition, a new roof was put over the entire building at around the same time, so it should be good to go, too! Up front, not one, but TWO commercial spaces make up this large, versatile, bright, open building. Use one and rent the other, or work on one side and set up your retail space on the other. In the back, you'll find two, large studio apartments, each has exterior access through the rear of the building. Upstairs you'll find ample storage space. Two doors down you'll find a delightful, small-town coffee shop. Across the street is a bakery and the historic, grand, Windsor Hotel. Walk out your door to the right and find an attorney's office, a thriving quilt shop, and a great restaurant with a full bar. A little further down the street is 3 Barrel Brewery, a great, small-town pizzeria and brewpub. Del Norte is a quiet, but thriving community with a population of around 1,500. The town's economy is largely based on agriculture, tourism, and small businesses. Del Norte's proximity to outdoor recreational areas such as the Rio Grande National Forest and the Weminuche Wilderness makes it a popular destination for hiking, fishing, camping, and wildlife viewing. Del Norte has made great strides in the last 10 years creating a widespread network of mountain bike trails, and in 2022 expanded the town park to include a boat ramp, and water features in and along the banks of the Rio Grande River to entice swimmers and kayakers. Over 500 miles of Jeep / ATV trails entice outdoor enthusiasts who prefer motorized sports. Side-by-sides and dirtbikes are popular, too! In addition to sports, the Arts community in Del Norte is thriving. The town hosts an annual "Del Norte Arts Festival" as well as a very popular music festival in the town park called "Rhythms on the Rio." Del Norte is the perfect, small town to settle down in, open a business, and make friends. This building is the ideal place to set up. Let's schedule a showing and see how we can make your dreams a reality!
