Summertime Fun: Outbuildings to Produce Income on Vacant Field

Got your eye on vacant acreage in Elbert County? What a perfect place to turn a field into a place for family fun times! And make a little money while you’re at it. Outdoor activities in Douglas and Elbert counties give Denverites a bit more space not too far away.

Let’s see how unused fields could become more productive with the addition of outbuildings. Indoor spaces next to the great outdoors can give the real estate investment more flexibility. What are we be talking about?

Recreational Outbuildings

Outdoor Pavilion

After a year of isolation, we can think of many ways to use outbuildings for recreation in Central Colorado. Yes, there are popular activities that families flock to for parties and gatherings. In good locations, these venues enhance property values.

How about some miniature golf, an outdoor pavilion with a kitchen for parties, racetrack, ice-skating rink, or lake clubhouse? Have a parcel near a trail? Imagine an eatery with a hitching post to accommodate customers on horseback.

Mini Golf Course

No need to start from scratch. Here’s an example of a small outbuilding. What fun in the middle of Douglas County! A place for old-fashioned putt-putt and maybe adjoining bumper cars? Make it a seasonal venue with a cornfield maze, pumpkin patch, strawberry pickin’ and more. This miniature golf course outbuilding houses the ticket office, snack bar, maintenance equipment, and restrooms.

Outdoor Pavilion

A post frame building adds limitless ways to infuse any property with more summertime recreation. You may not think of outdoor pavilions as outbuildings but look closer. This simple outbuilding could be sized for backyard enjoyment or larger gatherings. This one is partially open and partially enclosed. The indoor section holds rainy day seating, camp kitchen, and restrooms.

Country Restaurant

Country Restaurant

Make up your own country dining experience! Put in outdoor seating if you like but make it a memorable daytrip for everyone. Invite traveling school teams over for hamburgers, hot dogs, and, of course, fresh apple pie. You could even dig out a small lake for kayak lessons and hold seasonal events. A pole building restaurant can be up and going before you know.

Outbuildings with Personality

These types of low-rise activity centers can adapt to any personality a customer prefers. Invite people with a Western motif, colorful accents, or keep the peace with green. See this weathered-look siding with the Flying Gable roof and some rough signs. Just a nice touch for the far corner of your property.
