Colorado Prospector - Gem and mineral prospecting and mining forums _ Wanted _ We're looking to buy land

If anyone knows of any good web sites for land fer sale in CO, please let us know.

Most of what I've seen is from Billyland.com and I'm not sure how much to trust that since it doesn't appear to have any real people that can meet at the location, prior purchase.

Some quick checking shows Billyland has an A+, BBB rating, but I couldn't find one quickly for Landcentral.

I found some concerns on Sitejabber.com for Landcentral. I didn't dig through the reviews though to see if they're legitimate concerns. Billyland only has 2 reviews there, but both are good.

Using this search string in Google pulls up other outfits (landwatch, landandfarm, landsofcolorado, etc.): land for sale in colorado.

Are you buying just land, or land and property? I'm familiar with purchasing houses combined with land, but haven't purchased land only before. There are definitely some things to watch out for if a house is included, but I suspect the land-only purchase process is simpler.

I recall you saying you want to park an RV on the land which sounds great. I highly recommend checking the appropriate county zoning to make sure you won't run into any headaches living out of the RV post purchase. I found some other things to watch out for at https://axleaddict.com/rvs/Can-I-Live-In-An-RV-On-My-Property.

I've seen some land for sale on Billyland that wasn't accessible all year around, so be cognizant of that as well.

How exciting....happy searching!!!

Thanks Denise, we'd forgotten about that one. Thanks fer the info Eric.

On a side note, we found an RV 5th wheel trailer that we're in the process of purchasing. However, we do not have any way to tow it. If anyone has the ability to do such, we'd greatly appreciate it and pay for the tow(s) Need it moved twice - that's it. Or if anyone knows someone that'd be willing to do that, let us know.
