Many people purchase land down there for hunting retreats or to hide away from the world on their 5 or 40 acre "farmettes." Use our search tool with keywords like "San Luis Valley" or SLV to see the existing threads on this subject, which contain a lot of information. Precisely.
This location draws. In some way, the normal selling prices for this crapland have essentially doubled in the last years-- my father (who unbelievely did the whole structure his own home thing AND endured the winter seasons) purchased his 5 acres for $3500 complimentary and clear; now the same sort of residential or commercial properties are selling for $7k+.
They don't inform you about: 1. The lack of ANYTHING to do. There is: an overpriced film theatre A Bowling alley A Walmart A Big R shop An Aco store A JC Cent brochure shop (it resembles the size of a Family Dollar) An insanely overpriced thrift shop (When's the last time you paid $40 for a BROKEN 13" television or $80 for USED basketball shoes?) A Maurices A Fantastic Clips A Payless I believe there's still a motion picture shop 2 Chinese restaurants (one is DISGUSTING, Ma, Was is alright) A handful of dive bars I believe there's a Japanese dining establishments A Chilis A Mc, Donalds, Wendys, Arbys, BK, KFC, Taco Bell, and Sonic A Pizza Hut A Dominos A Safeway (waaay overpriced) A City Market (Walmart has more affordable groceries, though) A Walgreens Which's about it.
The insane ass wind 3. The COLD 4. How dry the cold is. 5. The reality that if you're a farmer, you'll need water. You'll require employees. People will talk a lot SH * about you you'll feel like a prostitute living in the Vatican. Seriously. Don't come here if you can prevent it.
