My friend and I were looking into land in the San Luis valley last winter. We found out that the county changed the zoning laws to made it more difficult for people to just get a piece of land there and move out there in a camper and just live there without improving the property. The zoning laws there are something you should check out before you decide what you want to do with the property. Just a heads up.

@amberyooper in Saguache County there are zillions of folks living off the grid - on my property Mineral Hotsprings Estates - and in Crestone - on the Baca Ranch - there are land grants - this is where the first earth ships were built - it's a whole "thing" - there. There is prob still land there cheap - in Moffat or Villa Grove. Also, I have a friend who lives in Park County off the grid - there are 100s of people living off the grid there - with no problem - I know maybe it was Del Norte county or something although I helped build an off grid house there as well -
Yeah, I'm not sure which county it was that was trying to get rid of the off gridders. I don't remember the details now, I'd have to see if I could find the information again.
you don't have to - I think it was custer county or something starting with a "c". I saw the article. there are too many peeps living off grid in our county - it's the poorest cty in co. People ARE starting to grow a little weed up there though I think.
I have to wonder how well weed would grow at that altitude. It might be fine, I don't really know. If I remember, they grow potatoes and quinoa up there. Quinoa is supposed to grow the best at higher altitudes, being originally a South American plateau grain crop.
it grows fine. They grow it in greenhouses. I personally am not going to grow it but I might lease some of my land to others who want to grow it there...
