Exploring Colorado Vacant Land For Sale

By Karina Frost


When previewing a business, home or any other real estate online, it is important to use Google Earth. In doing so, individuals can clearly see that any Colorado vacant land for sale or other location is as advertised. In some cases, vacant land may include old oil and gas drilling equipment or old and tattered structures. By viewing the area with Google Earth, one can assure this is not the case.

As to whether individuals can grow on a particular piece of land, whether owning that property or otherwise, is often up to the local city and county ordinances. As such, it often pays to do a great deal of research before simply buying a piece of land and pitching a few seeds. In fact, there is a great deal of red tape for those wishing to purchase legal herb, much less for those planning on growing and distributing same.

Regardless of intended use, there are some quite beautiful areas with land available in Colorado. The highest priced areas are going to be the areas around Telluride which is known for movie stars, skiing and a number of festivals held throughout the year including the infamous Telluride Bluegrass Festival. The area is so beautiful that it now takes a lottery to decide whom gets to camp onsite in town rather than having to shuttle to remote camp sites.

Seniors most likely would do well in areas like Ouray where life is slow. Whereas, the jet setters would be comfortable in and around Telluride and Mountain Village, known for festivals, skiing, and more recently, the movie stars which live in the area. Regardless of age, Ouray and Telluride offer some of the most scenic beauty in the State.

Thanks to the recent legalization of marijuana for personal use, finding affordable and desirable properties for sale anywhere in the State is going to be difficult. For, now sellers have the higher ground so to speak. As such, as vacant land is a much desired commodity among both personal and professional growers, values are currently on the rise.

This rise in real estate is both good and bad. Of course, even with the higher prices in most areas, it is expected values will only increase over the coming years. So, while prices may be a bit higher than desired, it may just be the best time to purchase a slice of, what many residents and visitors alike, feel is as close to heaven as one can get while on earth.

As with other locations, the economy while rebounding thanks to recent legislation, is still sluggish in many areas. The most hard hit of these areas are those with the smallest populations though some smaller towns have the best service jobs, high tech positions are most likely going to be found in cities like Denver, Boulder and Fort Collins.

When setting up a tiny, mobile or other structure, its important to pay attention to building codes and ordinances. As such, it is often advised to research any and all areas in which there is an interest before providing a deposit or final transfer of ownership.
