High in Colorado's spectacular San Juan Mountains, just 5 miles and a 15-minute drive from the historic town of Creede, lies a remarkable 27-acre property almost completely surrounded by National Forest. Under the same ownership for more than 30 years, it offers easy access yet exceptional privacy, dramatic mountain views and a rare opportunity for either a hospitality/retreat development or an extraordinary private family retreat.

Two distinctive yurts with private bath facilities are already in place, along with established infrastructure. Operated for many years on Airbnb as a small seasonal vacation-rental business, earning 421 reviews with an average rating of 4.96, providing proof-of-concept for a larger operation. Approved Forest Service access easements are also included in the sale.

But the opportunity extends far beyond the two existing yurts. One of the property's most valuable assets is a fully transferable Mineral County Conditional Use Permit, originally approved in 1997 that runs with the land. The approved use allows for 6–9 yurts, 2–4 cabins, a shower house and a lodge, accommodating up to 24 guests. And the new owner has up to 10 years to complete the approved buildout, providing considerable flexibility.

For an entrepreneur, the possibilities include a wellness retreat, boutique mountain lodging, corporate or group retreat, adventure-based destination or other experiential hospitality concept.

Not interested in operating a business? The acreage, privacy and potential for multiple structures also make this property an exceptional multi-generational family retreat or mountain compound, where family and friends can have their own space while sharing one extraordinary property.

The property combines true mountain seclusion with convenient access to Creede just 5 miles away. Hiking, fishing, mountain biking, skiing, snowshoeing and exploring the San Juan Mountains are virtually at your doorstep. Mineral County Memorial Airport, just south of Creede, has a 6,880' recently resurfaced, paved runway providing convenient access for private aircraft up to 22,000 lb. The property has also been featured in Denver's 5280 magazine multiple times as well as in other publications. A large open meadow on the property has previously accommodated helicopter landings as well.

This property is being offered primarily for its real estate, existing improvements and exceptional development potential—not on a multiple of current business earnings. The owner operated it on Airbnb as a small seasonal hobby business with no employees and no advertising, providing a proof-of-concept through exceptional guest feedback and reviews while pursuing a full-time real estate career elsewhere. Traditional business financial statements are not available.

After more than 30 years of ownership, the seller is ready for someone else to write the next chapter.
