I know some killer sites in and around Teller and Park County, ie 25 acres for $60-75,000. One already has a solar well. and many have great views of Pikes Peak. If you want 3 or 4 acres you can snatch up bare land around here for $20-30k.
Cities like Divide, Cripple Creek, Victor, Guffey, Florissant, Fairplay, Buena Vista, Hartsel. Some great places along the Arkansas River too.
Get some land and pop a travel trailer on it and build as you go. I know one spot with 27 acres, a solar well and a 28 foot Airstream trailer for $85k.
Get out of the Jungle and into the Hills, Brother! You will never be the same!
