Property Description

Rare + wonderful opportunity to own the Original Power Plant in Canon City CO, right next to the Royal Gorge Train. Built in 1890, this three unit mixed use building was once home of the The Fine Art Center and later The Canon Shopper. Mostly recently used as recording studio and vacation rental, the possibilities are endless. Lots of improvements and upgrades while maintaining the historic charm of the building. Located on almost 1/4 acre, just a short walk to the prime intersection of our historic Main St. The current set up: Unit A has good rental history as a successful vacation rental and a prior long term tenant. Feels like a loft with 13 foot ceilings. Improvements: new exterior door and 6 new windows, added front deck. W/D, walk in shower, and large kitchen. Custom stained glass by artist Barry Dolan. Ramp to door and no interior steps. Unit B (middle unit) was used most recently used as a recording studio. It’s got high ceilings, concrete flooring, full bath with shower, kitchenette. Three separate rooms could be an office/workshop/mercantile/antique store…. It’s now climate controlled with a new AC/furnace system that kicks! Also new electrical box. Unit C is a cool shop/garage with a new 10’ industrial rollup door, next to big yard with new metal fence. New 12 x 25 carport, swing out gate and concrete driveway.
