Real estate features, an outdoorsman's perspective...

In SW Colorado many of the prospects looking to purchase real estate are looking for specific amenities in a property. Some of these attributes are live water, bordering public land, privacy, scenic property and views. Of these, the two that most drive premium prices are live water and public land. A property that has some of these features and is nicely located is a sound investment. It is also important to research how near electric, phone and a domestic water source is to the propery. Because we are blessed to have an abundant amount of public land in SW Colorado and northern NM, developable land is limited; therefore, properties that attain these wonderful attributes can be a premium. However, I have found that these kind of properties are always in demand and appreciate very well. One note, not only outdoorsmen appreciate these attributes so as Will Rogers said, "Buy land and wait, don't wait to buy land."
