Rural Colorado
My DH and I are thinking of building a home in Colorado. We want to build a home on a big piece of property near Denver like an hour or so away. Like 5-10 acres, what is a good affordable place that is close to the city, but not too close, and has good schools. Also a place that is crunchy wold be nice  |

Do you mean an hour from downtown or an hour from the suburbs?
What do you mean by "crunchy"?
What do you consider affordable?

I don't know land costs around here, having never bought any, but there are not a lot of homes on 5 -10 acres anywhere within an hour of downtown. Your best bet would be to come out and look around; be prepared to find something else.

Looking at the ads for acreage in this weekend's Denver paper, I'd say that your budget up to $20,000 acre is possible if you head NE of the city.
Try looking along the Hwy 85 corridor heading toward Greeley.
If you're willing to be a bit further away, you can get more land for your dollars in a larger parcel.
