Established Yurt Business in CO San Juan Mtns

Run as a backcountry lodging business for over 20 years, this incredible 27-acre, fee simple private property is almost totally surrounded by national forest lands and sits a short 5-mile drive from the tiny mountain hamlet of Creede, CO.

The property comes with a pre-approved, transferable Conditional Use Permit from the county (secured in 1997 and likely unavailable today) which allows for 6-9 yurts, 2-4 cabins or tiny homes, a shower house and a lodge (no size restrictions listed) Permit currently allows for 24 people on the property at a time, but changes can be made to permit with county permission.

Permit allows the new owner 10 years for buildout, so plenty of time to build it your way. Current owner is ready to retire and is leaving many opportunities on the table including future possibilities of - backcountry skiing (video available), night sky viewing (one of the darkest areas in the nation), mountain biking, hiking, yoga, mushroom foray and instruction, wellness and team-building retreats, weddings and wilderness education.

Unparalleled views of Colorado’s San Juan mountains and the nearby La Garita wilderness (one of the least visited in CO). The property is only 5 miles from Creede yet is truly in the wilderness with possible sightings of elk, deer, moose, bear, eagles, mountain lions and more.

Property currently has 2 yurts (a 20’ with 12’ attached yurt bathroom and a 24’ with detached bathroom) with hundreds of 5-star reviews on Airbnb. The property has never been advertised and has zero social media exposure. Owner has been a one man show and had all the business desired but is now ready to pass the torch to someone that wants to turn this into the high-end, world class resort that it is destined to become.
