Development Opportunity- Mixed Used Zoning
A rare opportunity to acquire one of Basalt's most iconic and historically significant properties- the Colorado Midland Hotel, built in 1896 and recognized as a designated historic structure. Currently home to the renowned Tempranillo Restaurant, this landmark building is ideally situated in the heart of downtown Basalt, steps from local boutiques, fine dining, and the Roaring Fork River.
This property combines exceptional character with investment and redevelopment potential. Studies indicate the feasibility of a luxury Boutique Hotel or mixed-use redevelopment with ground floor commercial and upper level residential units.
