12800 Hwy 24, Hartsel, CO 80449

Property Description

A unique opportunity to own a piece of Hartsel history in a highly visible location along Highway 24! Built in 1929, the former Hartsel Service Garage sits along a primary travel corridor through South Park and offers historic character, highway exposure, flexible space, and future potential in a growing area. Hartsel has become an active part of Park County as more people discover the wide-open spaces, recreation, mountain lifestyle, and accessibility of South Park. Highway 24 connects Hartsel with Buena Vista and the Arkansas River Valley to the west and Colorado Springs to the east. Highway 9 provides access north toward Fairplay, Breckenridge and Summit County and south toward Guffey and Cañon City. For potential commercial uses, this prominent location and passing traffic create possibilities that are difficult to replicate. The 789-square-foot former service garage retains much of its original character, including the classic covered service area, large garage opening, exposed wood construction, and flexible interior space. Whether envisioned as a workshop, studio, retail space, office, or an entirely new concept, the building offers room for creativity. A separate 240-square-foot guest cottage adds versatility with a kitchenette, bathroom, separate entrance, and beautiful exposed wood ceiling. The property is served by an existing septic system. Outside, the 0.5-acre property offers open space, mature trees, additional outbuildings, mountain scenery, and the expansive South Park landscape. The property combines highway visibility with the character and open surroundings that make Hartsel unique. This is not a cookie-cutter property—and that is exactly what makes it special. With nearly a century of history, recognizable roadside character, multiple structures, excellent exposure, and a location in a growing South Park community, 12800 Highway 24 offers an opportunity to preserve a piece of Hartsel's past while creating something entirely new for its future.
