Common Questions

Colorado Land Buying FAQs

Building on land you purchase can cost more than buying an existing home when accounting for construction, utility installation, and development costs. However, building allows complete customization and may be worthwhile for specific location or design goals.

Land loans exist but typically require larger down payments (20-50%) and higher interest rates than traditional mortgages. Some lenders won't finance raw land at all, while others specialize in land financing.

Ask about water source and rights, septic feasibility, utility access and costs, zoning restrictions, HOA rules if applicable, road maintenance responsibility, and whether mineral rights convey with the property.

Zoning regulations and HOA covenants determine livestock permissions. Acreage requirements vary by animal type and location. Your agent helps verify regulations before purchase.

Well water means you own and maintain your water system, including pump, pressure tank, and water quality. City water involves monthly utility bills but eliminates maintenance responsibility. Well water quality and quantity should be tested before purchase.

While not always legally required, surveys confirm exact property boundaries, easements, and encroachments. Lenders often require surveys for land loans, and surveys protect your investment by ensuring you know precisely what you're buying.

Setbacks define how far structures must be from property lines. These restrictions affect where you can place your home, outbuildings, and septic systems. Steep terrain or irregular lots can make setbacks particularly limiting.

Costs vary dramatically based on distance and terrain. Electricity might cost $15,000-$50,000+ depending on distance from existing lines. Well drilling runs $15,000-$30,000+. Septic systems cost $10,000-$30,000+. Road access can add thousands more.
