Commercial Opportunity:
Historically the best and most profitable use of this property is the fact it was an award winning B&B for over 13 years. Though the owners had retired in 2005, they still to this day receive calls requesting reservations. The owner would be happy to share with the new owner their methods and processes that helped them have such a successful business here in lovely LaVeta CO. With this incredible LOCATION which has plenty of room for expansion is zoned for mixed residential/commercial use. Plenty of off street parking and alley access. New owners could live here and have their business here too. The potential is endless………a hair salon, attorney office, retail store, consultant office, professional offices, cooking school, tutoring studio, photography studio, small engine repair or mechanic shop, or maybe something that would fit in with the area. A recreational rental store for cross country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking or fishing and hunting outfitting to name only a few. Simply put, bring your imagination and live and work in the best little valley Colorado has to offer. These kinds of opportunities are very limited in this area.

This property could also be a great investment. The cottage is an excellent rental home that is completely furnished right down to the silverware. The income from the rental cottage is above average for the area and has always been occupied when available. The owners used it as a “private family retreat” when the B&B was open but have rented it out to tenants for short term and long term periods over the years. This area is in need of good rental properties. The rental income could help offset the new owner’s mortgage or just put a little extra in the bank.

History:
This home was built in 1906 and features country charm and mountain views right in the heart of downtown La Veta, Colorado. Enter through the original 1890’s wooden and glass entryway and you will immediately feel the warmth and charm it offers. The house has been updated and upgraded and is in excellent condition. The current owners have kept the house smoke free for over 33 years. They operated an award winning (5^th best in the USA) bed and breakfast from 1993 thru 2005. They will be happy to share their knowledge with anyone interested in reopening the B&B. Many species of birds and wildlife frequent this area and the property. Watch them play in the yard and enjoy the fine neighbors.
