Description

Welcome to the Chili Line Depot—named in honor of the historic D&RG narrow gauge railway that once connected Antonito, Colorado to Santa Fe, New Mexico from 1887 to 1941. Located in the heart of Tres Piedras, this unique property blends commercial and residential use and is currently home to a well-known restaurant and B&B. The building includes two guest rooms with private baths that are rented regularly, a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment with its own balcony, a spacious upstairs caretaker’s unit with a private deck and sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and a upstairs two-room office with generous storage space. If you choose to continue operating the restaurant, it’s ready to go. The sale includes everything needed to hit the ground running: a full commercial kitchen, walk-in storage, stainless prep tables, dishwashing station, freezers, ovens, mixers, beer tap, linens, display cases, cutlery, dishware, and a fully furnished dining room. There’s also a stage in the main dining area that host's live music throughout the year. Outside, the charm continues with a covered flagstone patio for outdoor dining, a private hot tub surrounded by vine-covered fencing, mature trees, rock landscaping and walls, and a large greenhouse that supplies fresh vegetables during the summer. The property spans 1.19 acres, is connected to community water, and operates on its own septic system. The roof and stucco have both been recently redone. With over 6,400 square feet of heated space, this property offers plenty of options: continue the restaurant and B&B, convert it into a private home, or explore other uses entirely. A large parking area right of Highway 285 is perfect for motorhomes, bikers, and motorists to stop by and visit! The adobe structure itself is over 100 years old and full of history—it once served as a lively bar and dancehall, even hosting a young Glen Campbell, who played here with The Dick Bills Band and The Sandia Mountain Boys. The property is being sold without financials, and no value has been placed on the business itself in the listing price. All furnishing and equipment is included in the sale other than a small list of exclusions. For more about the Chili Line Depot’s unique past, see the associated documents. Whether you're drawn by the potential or the history, this is a special property well worth a visit.
