116 e 9th st

Built in the 1980s with additions in the 1990s, this two-story log building and unfinished basement offers a rare opportunity for a live-work lifestyle or fully income-generating investment. The main level features a spacious commercial area currently home to Leadville Ski Country, a ski and snowboard rental shop, while the upper level is residential. Positioned just before the road curves onto Harrison Ave, this property has maximum exposure - every visitor to town passes by! The commercial storefront welcomes customers with a log cabin ambiance and is stocked with nordic skis and boots, alpine skis and boots, snowboards and boots, and snowshoes. Envision your own storefront or keep this commercial space and use passive income from the residential space to help smooth out cash flow during the off season. Upstairs, the residential floor has its own separate entrance and dedicated parking via the back alley. Exposed wooden rafters accent the open-concept great room including the kitchen and dining area with large south facing windows and a balcony looking towards Harrison Ave and the Sawatch Range. The family room with a gas fireplace provides a warm gathering space and connects the two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The unfinished basement is accessed by extra-wide 4-foot stairs and is ideal for storage, a workshop, or potential build-out. Whether you're looking to grow a business, live in a mountain town, or both, this property is your chance to invest in one of Colorado's most iconic high-altitude communities, thanks to the skiing at family-friendly Cooper Mountain, the tallest 14ers in Colorado and the iconic endurance events like the Leadville 100 races. Come be a part of this fast-growing community!
