I'm trying to estimate slopes between patches, so need to find the minimum value of a patch variable called Elevation from all patches that are at radius 4 from a specific patch. Here is the code:

ask patch 27 35 [let x min-one-of patches in-radius 4 [Elevation]
                 print x]

but instead of the lowest value of Elevation, it prints: (patch 27 31). What can I do to have the value instead of coordinates?

You've got the code to find the patch with the minimum value, so all you need is the value at that patch.

ask patch 27 35
[ let low-patch min-one-of patches in-radius 4 [Elevation]
  let x [Elevation] of low-patch
  print x
]

But it's more straightforward to just take the minimum of the values directly (not tested so syntax may need to be adjusted)

ask patch 27 35
[ let x min [Elevation] of patches in-radius 4
  print x
]
