II. The property

505 Rose Street — on the funnel.

A 4,450 SF building on a single Georgetown parcel, four blocks from I-70 and zero blocks from where Rose Street becomes the Guanella Pass National Forest Scenic Byway.

The property is a former saloon — a full restaurant and bar. Available for lease.

Position

The last storefront before the byway.

Rose Street meets Fifth Street and becomes Guanella Pass — a designated National Forest Scenic Byway. Every car heading up the pass passes 505 first.

The funnel runs past your front door.

Three independent traffic systems converge on Rose Street. Each one independently delivers a year-round visitor base — together they make this the busiest single-block frontage on the I-70 mountain corridor.
