Located in the critically acclaimed South Main neighborhood, this corner lot is within walking distance of all that downtown Buena Vista has to offer and will be directly across from a dedicated open space park. It is perfect for a custom home and can accommodate an ADU in addition to the main residence. The listing price includes stamped architectural drawings and engineering plans (buyer may use or may not use). Please review the following information and reach out with any questions. ARCHITECTURE: This lot is perfect for a custom residence. An ADU may be incorporated into the main structure or completed separately later. Front setbacks are 0 to 8 feet from the front lot line. CONSTRUCTION: You must hire an architect from South Main’s approved list. Doing so will make meeting South Main’s architectural requirements easy and hassle-free. You must also hire a builder from South Main’s approved list. If you already have a builder, they may apply to become approved. While construction costs depend on many factors, we anticipate a range of $400-$500 per square foot. Construction must be completed within 2 years from closing. PARKING: The architectural design for this lot must incorporate a minimum of 2 off-street parking spots. OTHER: 1) South Main is currently exempt from many of BVs short-term rental regulations, making this lot a great option for anyone looking to offset their cost of ownership with short term rental income. We have extensive experience managing homes so can provide nightly rate and occupancy projections upon request. 2) South Main Realty has the exclusive right to manage this property if it is rented on a short-term basis. 3) Please read the attached statement from South Main’s Co-Founder, Jed Selby, prior to making an offer.
