8. WHAT ABOUT WATER?
You will have several options for water all of which are at your sole expense. They include drilling a new water well or having water delivered to a water tank you have installed. It is estimated the depth of the water well would be around 300 feet in this Unit per the county. It is difficult to estimate an exact cost of drilling a new water well. This will depend upon the company you hire to drill the well. Prices may vary between different companies from $15 to $55 per foot. We encourage you to fully investigate every company offering this service and not base your decision solely on the price. There is no assurance that a productive well can be installed on your land and, if it cannot, no refund of the purchase price will be made. The purity and chemical content of the water cannot be determined until each individual well is completed and tested. Contact a Licensed Colorado Well driller for further information and proposed costs and contact county for required permits.

9. WHAT ABOUT UTILITIES?
Electrical lines are several miles away from your land. You will be responsible for any cost of installation. It costs approximately $5 per foot to extend electrical lines. If you would like to contact the electric company to find out how much it will cost to run the electrical lines to your land, you may contact them at: San Luis Valley Rural Electric Cooperative, 719-852-3538 or 800-332-7634. As a way to reduce your costs (both initially and over the long-term), we recommend you explore the use of alternative/renewal energy sources such as generators, wind or solar systems for your electrical needs. Both the Federal government and the State of Colorado have had programs to assist in the payment of a new solar system. The use of alternative power source will save you a lot of money. In this area, all you will need is a septic tank and leech field system for your cabin or home. For prices, check with a hardware store. Before installation of a septic system, a permit must be obtained from the County Health Officer in San Luis, Colorado. Further information about utilities and who to contact can be provided upon request.

10. WHAT IS THE PROPERTY ZONED AND WHAT ARE THE PROPERTY TAXES FOR A PARCEL?

Yes, beginning the very day you sign the purchase contract, the land is yours to use and enjoy.

13. CAN I RESELL MY PROPERTY IN THE FUTURE AND MAKE A PROFIT?
While there is no guarantee of profit from any land sale, historically land prices have increased in value. We believe there are many reasons for this upward trend, including inflation, population growth, a decreasing supply of land, the public’s desire for a more natural environment, trend toward movement away from urban areas and the increasing popularity of outdoor recreational activities.
