Thanks camel. Found several webpages. But not sure what to look for. Right now, all I can look for is lots of land, and hopefully critters are there. But whatever I find, I plan to come out and check out the land myself thoughly.

LET ME CAUTION YOU ABOUT ONE THING... W.A.T.E.R.

JUST BECAUSE YOU OWN LAND IN COLO DOES "NOT" MEAN YOU CAN GET WATER ON IT OR FOR IT. ALL WATER IN COLO IS PRIVATELY OWNED. HERE WHERE I LIVE 90% OF THE RURAL PICKUP TRUCKS HAVE A 250GAL PLASTIC WATER TANK IN THE BED FOR HAULING WATER TO THEIR CISTERN.


Good luck.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

you can drill for water in colorado. that BS about having to haul water is pure BS. The reason they haul water is so they can avoid the $35 a foot drilling cost.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

TeeJay, how much is it going for up there? Looking for some prime hunting and Future investment. I am sincerely considering pulling out of my 401K and putting it in land instead. At least half of it. Nothing over 250K. Not sure I can swing that even.

I just see my inlaws. They thought ahead, and struggled when they were young. Bought some land, and now they moved there when they retired.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

Holy cow, this water thing is a serious deal out there. Never would have thought it.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

There aint no such thing. In order to own the water, you have to buy the deeds to the mineral rights or else the people laying natural gas pipe lines can setup right on your front lawn.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

...lets see the water rights go back to the 1870's. we have Colorado Water Court where folks who know about "there aint no such thing" fight for their rights to use or buy or hold water rights. So I guess there is such a thing.Other wise a lot of guys are using up pickup bed space hauling expensive plastic tanks for no reason. And you said you liveWHERE that you know all about "there aint no such thing" ???

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

Actually all the sites I have been too on buying land, covers alot of the water issues. Some have it, some don't. I want cheap hunting land, but would like the opportunity to build one day, like way off in the future 20 years. Figured I could get cheaper land if it didn't have water rights.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

Water is a big deal of what you get. The Water Courts are serious business too. Just make sure you know what you are getting into before the purchase. Remember, if you try a well and they do not hit water, that is at your expense. New well = more money. Good luck.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

my neighbor hauls water. He can drill a well. But he wont do it due to the cost. Not alot of people want to spend the money. Waters, what"?? 10cents a gallon?

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

!000-3000 an acre pending on what you want.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

Gets cheaper the farther south you go. Stay away from the northern parts like glennwood springs and such. 3 acers in meeker " flat barren land" was $110,000:D:D:D. I saw that and started laughing.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

in Coolerado you can drill a well on 40 acres without askingthe water Gods, I believe

lots of land in wyoming is 160 acres for 50k on ebay over near rawlins not sure how their cowboy water court works tho

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

Im Not sure how the cowboy water thing works either.( havent has a well drilled - yet& lawyer dble speak confuses me))

But a lot of ppl haul water around here also & some wells can be very expensive- as they have to go very deep. Anyone with a recorded well before you has senior water rights to you i believe( so if there well starts going dry or having problems & they think you & your well are at fault- there are problems)

We have some land( a few 40 acre lots) well north of rawlins( the rattlesnake mtns& pedro mtn areas)that we we where going to get a well drilled on- but never did. We bought those about -13& 16-r 17 yrs ago or soi think ( 2 seperate time/s places anyways ) Very dry areas also..

And we almost boughta 160 acreblock in the rawlins area also about 8-10 yrs ago i think it was - a lot cheaper then 50 k then to.
A lot of new gas wells being drilled in the area i understand.

Many areas ( some more some less)in Wy are dry including where i live( outside of casper)If im not mistaken the rainfall of the area is about equal to the sanora desert(11- 14 inchs)- on a good yr ( not counting snow in that moisture counti dont think) & thats in a good yr & we have been in draught conditions about 7 or so yrs now. Snow pack also is down - it is Dry & then some.

One thing to remember about the rawlins area- it is the great divide basin area- & the red desert is right there.
It is a true desert( about 5 inchs of raina yr i think )& very dry.

Water is not to be taken for granted or lightlyin Wy thats for sure.
There have been water wars in the past here & i can see why..;)

If all of Wy in the future turned into one big dust /sand pile i wouldnt be to suprized:D.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

I will add that many ppl in this country just turn on a tap - got to there sink or whatever & dont give it tomuch thought how much water they use(it is cheap& plentyfully)

Where you start hauling every oz& gallon of it &for its many uses, not just drinking-things are a bit diffent.


As long as fuel prices stay up & water not easy to come by- the more it will cost to haul all that water home to.

You drill a well in Wy it may not last long with others senior water rights geololigic etc reasons as factors.

Thats if you find water & "if" you find "good water" to begin with- as it all isnt or does it aways stay that way for a varity of reasons.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

You probally wont find any cheap hunting land here it is going for any where from $175,000.00 to $250,000.00 for a half acre lot just try to get close to it would be your best bet.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

If you are willing to hunt harder and pack in further than the next guy, there is great hunting to be found on public land inany of the rocky mountainstates.

It's free, too.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

Well, so far bud, I have found anywhere from 35acres to 150acres for 250K. This is near Peoblo, Co. One piece backs to 244,000 national forest

elk, this is for many reasons. Future investment, future retirement, current elk hunting, etc, etc.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

Keep looking, I find good plots all the time. When time is right, I would like to buy some land for myself.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

I never like the land near Pueblo...unless you are talking about Westcliffe or Silvercliff. Never saw enough elk or deer to want to hunt there.

You might consider some of the smaller towns near Grand Junction or Montrose.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

Anything that has elk near grand junction or montrose will set you back a lot. Real Estate on the western slope has shot to the moon. Natural Gas and Energy boom has set in.

I'll toss you a bone though, from the local paper. No interest or idea what is is.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

A good price for open undeveloped land is 1000-2000 per acre. Any more is too much any less I would be asking LOTS of questions. Here in Colo the higher the elev the higher the price. If the land has a view the price is higher. Smaller parcels sell higher as God is no longer making land.

I too am seeking 10 acres or so in the mtns and patented mining claims are the best land deal going, for me. I hope to buy next yr with or without a partner. As long as I am near BLM land near the Divide Ill be happy. One place I looked at last summer was cheap but was at 12300'. So it would be seasonal at best and acess limited as I had to cross a closed BLM trail to get to the mining claim. Lots of legal stuff to consider.

Call me at 719-369-2715 if you wanna talk about land more... And no I am NOT a R.E. Salesman.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

Never heard of the mining thing but sounds good too. I'm looking at 40 to 80 acs. myself. I have been looking for about a year and have found some good deals. Email me and we will chat. Charlie, let me know where you are thinking I my have some plots for you to look at.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

We'll I really want this :

http://cgi.ebay.com/Beautiful-Mountain-Home_W0QQitemZ170104162896QQihZ007QQcategoryZ12605 QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

but realistically I'd settle for a few acres in GMU 45 or55 or 71.

RE: Sources to buy land in Co
 

That was a nice home! As far as unit 55, my buddy lives in Gunnison and tells me that there are a lots of properties for fairly cheap. Good luck to all with the great search for land.
