218 Maroon A,B,C,D
Crested Butte, CO 81224
Some buildings don't just occupy a town — they define it. 218 Maroon Avenue is one of them. Situated on the banks of Coal Creek in the heart of downtown Crested Butte, 218 Maroon Avenue is a multi-tenant property with deep historical roots and a walkable, central location that no new construction could replicate. The property includes four units on a NNN lease structure, keeping owner expenses minimal. The current rent roll balances stability with opportunity: Units A, B, and D are anchored by Butte Bagels — a Crested Butte institution in its own right — under a lease running through June 2029, providing reliable long-term income from day one. Unit C, occupied by a Keller Williams real estate office through October 2026, offers opportunity for owner use, repositioning to a new tenant, or continued tenancy. This landmark property along Coal Creek carries more than a century of Crested Butte's most defining chapters within its legendary walls. Its story began on Elk Avenue, where generations of locals settled into the chair of Mr. Boyd for a haircut and conversation — the kind of unhurried ritual that once anchored small-town life. The charming property has worn many hats over the years, including a sales office for the Crested Butte ski resort in the 1960s, then home to the Crested Butte Chronicle and later the Crested Butte Pilot newspaper. When the owner threatened to erase it from Elk Avenue entirely, the community pushed back. Builder Fritz Diether and Mitch Evans answered the call, relocating the structure in 1987 — along with two other historic properties and the residence from Union Congregational Church — to its current home along the Coal Creek steambank, just behind the Post Office. What emerged was an intimate, pedestrian-scaled gathering place locals would come to affectionately call Dietherville: a small village of saved buildings that became one of the town's most beloved landmarks. As Diether himself said of the effort, "Crested Butte doesn't have that many old buildings left to restore. Their value is that they're a precious commodity." That philosophy lives on in this rare commercial investment opportunity. For a buyer who understands that place has value, that history compounds like no other asset, and that Crested Butte's authenticity is precisely what makes it irreplaceable — this is that opportunity.
