Mountain Income Property, Lodge for Sale, Commercial/Residential property, Bed and Breakfast Inn, real estate for sale near Aspen and Glenwood Springs in Marble Colorado

$585,000

The Marble Outpost is a mountain lodge located on the west side of Marble, Colorado, a small mountain town of approximately 200 people, located an hour southwest of Aspen, Colorado, 45 minutes south of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and half an hour from Carbondale, Colorado. The Marble Outpost is zoned business, and offers an excellent opportunity to buy into the rapidly escalating Aspen-area real estate market. The Marble Outpost offers the opportunity to earn a good income and make most, if not all, of the monthly mortgage payment.

 This is the view of the back side of the Marble Outpost. It's very quiet and relaxed, though the lodge has frontage on County Road 3, the main road into town.

Built in 1994, the Marble Outpost was completely remodeled in 2001. Zoned residential/commercial, the lodge has two upstairs guest apartments that have a good rental history through the summer and fall. Each upstairs apartment has a master bedroom, a smaller bedroom with a bunkbed, a full kitchen, a bath, and a living area.

            With its mixed zoning, the Marble Outpost offers the opportunity to conduct a home business, lodging, a gallery, an artist's studio, or a variety of small business opportunities. The upstairs apartments rent for $159 a night for each unit during the summer and $139 a night during the winter. Rental history is good. Gross revenues average over $55,000 a year, with most of the business occurring in the summer and fall. Business could be expanded considerably. The property was appraised using three methods in late 2007. The low appraisal came in at $585,000 and the high appraisal was $596,000. Real estate values are climbing in the Crystal River Valley, not declining.

This flyfishing photo was taken a mile or so away from the Marble Outpost on the Crystal River. The airstrip is only about half a mile distant.

The Marble Outpost is located within 200 yards of the Crystal River, where public fishing access is nearby. Access to Beaver Lake, wilderness hiking trails, fishing, four-wheeling trails, horseback riding, mountain biking, and backcountry skiing is in close proximity.
