Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 35 acre rule in Colorado?
Colorado exempts land divisions of 35 acres or more from county subdivision review, which is why most mountain parcels are 35 acres.
Can you buy land from a national forest?
Generally no; national forest land is federal. You can buy private land that borders it.
Can I access the national forest directly from my land?
If your parcel shares a boundary with public land you can usually walk in, but motorized access follows agency rules.
Can I hunt on BLM land next to my property?
Yes, with the proper license and following BLM and Parks and Wildlife rules.
Is land next to public land more valuable?
Usually yes, because it guarantees privacy and recreation on at least one side.
