Inspired by community, designed for connection…
At its heart, Aztec Alchemy is a celebration of what already makes Aztec extraordinary: its warmth, its creativity, and the way everyday life unfolds in connection with the people and places around it.
Envisioned as a vibrant destination where art, food, movement, and culture intersect, Aztec Alchemy invites residents and visitors alike to experience the best of community life in a fresh, modern way. From early-morning yoga and espresso catch-ups to evening gatherings filled with music, conversation, and good food, this is a place that inspires both stillness and motion, where ideas take shape over good coffee and shared inspiration.
More than a development, Aztec Alchemy is a living canvas: a thoughtfully designed destination where people can live, work, and connect in meaningful ways. The project blends residential lofts for both short- and long-term stays with vibrant communal spaces designed for gathering, movement, and creativity. From thoughtfully restored architecture to flexible storefronts, every detail reflects an appreciation for what already thrives here: the independent spirit of local makers, the deep roots of family life, and the simple joy of being together.
This is a space for the curious and community-minded; for those who strive to gather and to grow. Whether you’re grabbing a pastry between meetings, joining a class to learn something new, opening a shop to share your creativity, or simply pausing to connect with neighbors, Aztec Alchemy offers an open invitation to belong, contribute, and be inspired.
Rooted in place yet designed for possibility, Aztec Alchemy adds to the ongoing story of Aztec- not by changing its character, but by amplifying its energy.

About the Founder
Autumn von Flotow developed Aztec Alchemy from a place of genuine connection and everyday inspiration. After moving with her family to Aztec, she quickly fell in love with the rhythm of small-town life- bike rides to the library with her sons, mornings on their hobby farm, and the sense that everything she needed was just around the corner.
An entrepreneur with a deep appreciation for community and creativity, Autumn saw an opportunity to build something that reflected how she, and so many others, want to live: surrounded by good people, good food, and meaningful opportunities and experiences. Her vision for Aztec Alchemy grew out of that desire: a place where locals could work, gather, and recharge and where the heart of Main Avenue could pulse even brighter.
Autumn’s belief is simple: when people have spaces that inspire them to connect and create, communities flourish. Aztec Alchemy is her letter to the town that, as she puts it, “chose us.”
