249 F STREET

Downtown Salida Corner Commercial with Prime Zoning and Expansion Lot.
In the heart of Salida's historic downtown, this rare two-parcel offering delivers location, zoning flexibility, and long-term potential. Positioned at the corner of F Street and 3rd Street, with alley access and street frontage on both sides, this site puts you at the core of Chaffee County’s most vibrant commercial district, with excellent foot and vehicle traffic along the coveted F Street corridor.
The 0.17-acre main parcel features a 2,682 square foot commercial building constructed in 1984. Currently home to a full-service mechanic shop, the layout includes two distinct storefront entries and a combination of garage space that consists of a two-bay garage and a separate three-bay garage. The business and equipment may be negotiable, but the real value lies in the land, the corner location, and the zoning. The property is designated C-2 (Central Business District), SD-HD (Downtown Historic Overlay), and CBEO (Central Business Economic Overlay), allowing a wide range of commercial, service, and mixed-use options. The zoning supports strategic flexibility for redevelopment, expansion, or owner-occupied business use.
Across the alley, the second parcel is a 0.08-acre vacant lot fronting 3rd Street, offering space for parking, storage, expansion, or infill construction. This additional lot adds a rare level of versatility in Salida’s downtown core.
Controlling this corner means owning prime real estate in one of the most desirable areas of Salida, with flexible zoning that supports a broad range of commercial or creative reuse options. You can keep the existing business, bring your own operation, or reposition the space for long-term investment value.
