For those who want that 'leaving it all behind' sensation, and looking for somewhere still reasonably priced, try visiting an agent from Telluride Real Estate. Telluride properties are the 'hot cakes' that are selling fast for those wishing to live in the countryside, but still wanting great facilities anyway.
This up and coming area has some very interesting rules and regulations though. The conservation movement in the area is so hot on preserving all the beauty that vast tracts of land have been set aside for nature alone. No over building or over development is allowed to go on here and it is a perfect place for people who want to go that route. Indeed, the 'down home' atmosphere has been preserved specifically so that people will feel like they have always been a part of this great community.
Even workers houses have been tastefully included and built so that these people can afford to live where they work. This was a serious problem for some of the other, more established resorts in Colorado, but lessons were learned back then and this has been dealt with very effectively.
The importance of keeping wildlife and animal habitats intact was a prime concern when this place was being planned. No one wanted to end up with yet another grey concrete jungle with no flora or fauna in sight. The feeling of being amongst nature is just what everyone has been craving and it seems to have paid off in this instance.
Of course, this place is ideal for winter sports and some have likened it to the more established ski resorts, but not in a bad way. Those resorts made the mistake of not catering for necessary staff requirements needed to run the place. Here, all these problems were ironed out and the result is obvious.
There are still many properties to be had in this beautiful area. For many, the thought of going back to nature after city life is like paradise lost. But this is still a very affordable idea for those who are interested. Because this is a relatively new resort, prices are still in that bracket that many would find attractive. For those who are looking at a retirement or holiday home, this is an opportunity waiting to happen.
Many will purchase properties now, rent out for several years, and then retire to the place after some years. Of course, by then property values will have risen considerably so making that decision now makes complete sense.
There is no better place to get away from it all than in the Colorado Mountains. That vast open space will give people that taste of life when it was much simpler and perhaps suggests a little of the pioneer spirit that used to bring people there. These days, naturally, people want to feel like they are in the wilderness, but with great bathrooms and eating spots at the side. If that is so, then this is the place to consider very seriously, and before the prices get too far removed for us mere mortals to contemplate purchasing a property of their own!
