I have traveled a good bit in Colorado & the surrounding areas. I like visiting out there a lot, but would not want to live out there full-time.
Many years ago, you would see Colorado land ads in the back of magazines. " Land for $7 an acre !" My uncle traveled all over the states as a Land Procurement Agent, for the military. I asked him about those ads. He said that the land was super cheap, but not $7 an acre. He said the reason it was cheap was because it wasn't worth a sh*t !

I don't know if their laws have changed or not, but at one time, homeowners could not " catch" water is rain barrels/cisterns, etc. !!
............You had better acquaint yourself with the zoning laws for any county you might buy land , IN ! They can BE a major Pain in the rear ! Can you haul water ? Do you have to connect to local electric grid ?
.............There is lots of cheap scrub land in Tx along I20 west of Odessa Tx but with a lot less zoning laws to deal with.........and you can probably drill a water well if you have the $$$$$ to do so . Look up Mentone or Kermit,tx for cheap land ! , fordy
