    Peace, Love and Profit! 3 Single-Family Cottages in Downtown Manitou Springs — Over $40K Annual Gross Income. Rare opportunity to own three fully rented single-family cottages on one lot in the heart of Downtown Manitou Springs. This turnkey multi-unit property generates over $40,000 in yearly gross rental income, with room for future rent increases and upside potential. Positive cash flow from day one. Each of the three Manitou Springs cottages (approx. 400 sq. ft. each) is thoughtfully updated to reduce maintenance and increase tenant satisfaction. Recent upgrades include: • New windows • Fresh interior and exterior paint • Refinished hardwood floors • Floor-to-ceiling tiled showers • New kitchen appliances (refrigerators and gas stoves) • Shared Laundry Unit Tenants enjoy private off-street parking in a dedicated lot, with one space per unit. A shared laundry area (washer & dryer) is conveniently located onsite. Each unit includes a bright living room, a full kitchen with space for dining, and a separate bedroom space with closet space and remodeled ¾ bath. Several units feature office-ready bedroom layouts and private front or back patios, perfect for outdoor living. The property sits on a quiet street just steps from downtown, offering walkable access to Manitou’s shops, restaurants, and public transit. Tenants appreciate the privacy and charm, while investors benefit from consistent occupancy and strong demand in a high-traffic vacation and arts destination. This is a rare, cleanly divided triplex of detached cottages in a sought-after rental market — a true gem for portfolio-minded investors looking for steady, low-hassle cash flow in one of Colorado’s most unique communities.
    What the owner loves about this home
    Positive Cash Flow with Owner-Occupant Option Live in one of the updated cottages and rent out the other two for steady monthly income. This is ideal for house-hackers or live-on-site investors looking to offset their housing costs while building equity. Three Fully Detached Units on One Parcel Unlike a traditional triplex, this setup features three standalone cottages, offering more privacy for tenants and easier long-term management — and potential for separate resale or condo conversion down the line. Turnkey Rental Income – $40k+ Gross Annually All units are currently leased and generating over $40,000/year in gross income. With limited seasonal turnover and high demand in Manitou Springs, this property offers immediate cash flow and stable occupancy. Recent Capital Improvements = Low Maintenance Major upgrades have already been completed — including new windows, paint, hardwood floors, updated kitchens and baths — minimizing capital expenditures and keeping operational costs low. Prime Walkable Location Near Downtown & Trails Just steps from downtown shops, dining, and transit, yet tucked away on a quiet residential street with private parking. Desirable for both long-term tenants and a potential short-term rental strategy (if zoning allows).
