Description

Step into a piece of San Luis Valley history with this exceptional downtown commercial property located on Monte Vista's bustling Main Street. Originally constructed in 1908, this historic 3,125-square-foot retail building offers a rare opportunity to own a well-established retail location in one of Southern Colorado's most charming communities. Currently operating as a clothing boutique, the property is ideally suited for a boutique, gift shop, art gallery, outdoor retailer, specialty market, or a variety of other retail and commercial uses. The thoughtfully designed interior features spacious retail floor space, dressing rooms with built-in fixtures, office space, storage areas, and an attractive storefront that benefits from excellent visibility and steady pedestrian traffic. Included in the sale are numerous fixtures and equipment, including clothing racks, shelving, display cases, mannequins, checkout counter, mirrors, furniture, security system, and lighting fixtures, making this a truly turnkey opportunity for a new owner. This offering consists of the real estate and certain fixtures and equipment only. The retail business is not included in the sale. However, the existing merchandise inventory may be purchased separately through a Bill of Sale and includes women's and men's apparel, shoes, jewelry, handbags, accessories, gift items, seasonal merchandise, home décor, candles, and greeting cards. Positioned in the heart of Monte Vista, this property benefits from year-round tourism and local commerce. The area is known for its rich agricultural heritage, abundant outdoor recreation, and popular attractions including the nearby Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge, famous for its annual crane migration, the breathtaking Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, the Rio Grande National Forest, and world-class hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping opportunities throughout the San Luis Valley. Visitors and residents alike enjoy easy access to the historic communities of Del Norte, South Fork, Creede, and Alamosa, making this a strategic location for a retail business serving both locals and tourists. Whether you're looking to establish your own retail concept, expand an existing business, or invest in a historic commercial property in a growing destination market, this Main Street landmark offers unlimited potential in the heart of Colorado's scenic San Luis Valley.
