Discovering Prime Colorado Vacant Land For Sale

By Karina Frost


While some life long residents of Colorado may be leaving the State, there is no shortage of people wishing to live in the area. As such, the hunt for Colorado vacant land for sale is on the rise. Whether in a city like Denver, or the more notable Ouray, Telluride and the rocky mountain range, individuals are swarming to the area because of new relaxed laws related to the legal growing, distribution and possession of cannabis sativa.

Depending on where the land is located, backyard farming and chickens may or may not be allowed. Also, it is important to consider than land often has an annual property tax requirement. While in some areas there are limits as to how much property tax can increase annually, most areas do not not have these limits. As such, it is often good to look at past history before purchasing the land to assure it is not in an area that has drastic increases in property tax on an annual basis.

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.

Senior citizens would most likely do well in areas like Ouray, Durango or Silverton. Whereas, jet setters would most likely enjoy Denver, Boulder and Telluride. Regardless of the area in which one settles, most individuals who move to the area find the scenic beauty, hot springs and overall sense of awe amazing.

The States decision to recently legalize marijuana has made it hard to find affordable housing, or land for sale or rent. As such, if an individual locates a piece of property at a good price, it is most likely still best to purchase before the price rises yet again. Otherwise, it is expected that property values will only continue to rise along with the population in many areas in the coming years.

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.

Although, before placing a down payment, it is always advisable to check property tax rates and building codes. If not, then individuals may end up owning property which does not provide for any intended usage. Whereas, individuals can easily assure the purchased land can provide for any agricultural projects or structures whether installed now or in the future by checking any and all local building codes and ordinances before finalizing a sale.

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.
