Mixed-Use Land for Sale in Buena Vista, Colorado
415 N Colorado Ave, Buena Vista, CO 81211
A ±1.14-acre infill parcel just blocks from downtown Buena Vista and the Arkansas River, offering a developer a significant head start in one of Colorado's most desirable mountain towns.
Zoned MU-2 (Mixed Use 2) and located in an opportunity zone, supporting medium- to high-density residential. A sketch plan for a 33-unit community - 9 single-family rowhouses and 24 duplex units - has been prepared and reviewed with the Town, with design and engineering groundwork already complete. Half the blocked is already completed with high end homes recognized with a National Association of Home Builders Best in American Living Award, the premier national honor for innovation and design excellence in residential building and community development.
All major utilities documented: will-serve letters on file from Atmos Energy (gas) and Sangre de Cristo Electric; executed sewer Connection Agreement with BV Sanitation District, with an existing main in the alley; Town of Buena Vista water available. Site is flat, outside the floodplain, with no mapped hazard areas.
Residents would be less than a 10-minute walk from the River Park, Whitewater Park, skate park, pump track, dog park, and the shops and restaurants of historic downtown - with Collegiate Peaks views in every direction. With Buena Vista's well-documented housing demand, this parcel pairs strong fundamentals with a community-supported use.
Flat, in-town, utility-served acreage with entitlement momentum rarely comes to market here. Buyer to verify all zoning, entitlement status, and utility capacity with the Town and applicable districts.
