The Crestone Professional center, one of the few properties in the Baca Grande subdivision that has been granted conditional use as a commercial building, is now on the market! Currently leased by 7 businesses and two additional tenants renting space for storage, this is an exceptional income-generating property. Once a large 2700+ sq ft home, it has been converted to accommodate various sized office needs by removal of interior closets to maximize each room's capacity. Conveniently located near the entrance to the neighborhood on a nicely treed 1.05 acre lot with plenty of parking spots for the tenants and their clients, and plenty of land to accommodate more parking if necessary. The home has been well maintained throughout the years, and in addition to hosting office tenants could easily be re-converted back into separate living quarters on either the upstairs or both stories, as the full bathrooms and large kitchens on each floor remain intact. The views from the large second floor spaces of the mountains are breathtaking, and are a reminder of the beauty of the surrounding area. Situated on the paved road and less than 5 minutes to the town of Crestone for groceries, gas, restaurants, hardware supplies, and at the foot of the Sangre De Cristo mountains to enjoy world class mountaineering. This exceptionally rare and money-making property awaits its new owner!
