Rare opportunity to own an historic building in Canon City CO, right next to the Royal Gorge Train. This three unit mixed use building was the original power plant from 1890-1897. Later home to a Baptist Church, The Fine Art Center and The Canon Shopper newspaper. Most recently used as recording studio and vacation rental, the possibilities are endless. Lots of improvements & upgrades while maintaining the historic charm. Located on almost 1/4 acre, just a short walk to the prime intersection of historic Main St. Current set up: Unit A has good rental history as a vacation rental and a prior long term tenant. Feels like a loft with 13 foot ceilings. Improvements: new exterior door and 6 new windows, added front deck. W/D, walk in shower, and large kitchen. Custom stained glass by artist Barry Dolan. Ramp to door and no interior steps. Unit B (middle unit) used most recently as a recording studio. It’s got high ceilings, concrete flooring, full bath with shower, kitchenette. Three separate rooms could be an office/workshop/mercantile/antique store…. It’s now climate controlled with a new AC/furnace system that kicks! Also new electrical box. Unit C is a cool shop/garage with a new 10’ industrial rollup door, next to big yard with new metal fence. New 12 x 25 carport, swing out gate and concrete driveway. Great place for classic car or functioning shop of any type. New glass installed in original windows. Fenced yard with fire pit. It’s fun to watch the Royal Gorge Train depart and return. Plenty of parking outside as the spaces in front of building are owned by you! Whole building patched and painting (exterior). Solar panels keep electric costs affordable (paid in full). New gutters on 3 sides of the building. Metal roof updated with larger screws + snow melt protection. Add'l storage in large, clean basement + storage annex outside in yard. Available furnished (minus hifi gear, some artwork, and tools in the shop). Owner/agent.
