Visited several rural properties yesterday in the Montrose, CO area with a local realtor. Prices for small (1-3 acres) acreage properties with irrigation water vary widely - $11k-$50k/acre; the more expensive properties are flat and have views of the San Juan and/or the Cimarron Mountains. The area southwest of Montrose seems to have the best water and best views.
My thinking is that one could live in this area from May 1st to October 1st (enough time for a garden:) and then travel south for the winter. At this early stage in my journey, I don't know whether I'll end up buying property but the process of looking at real estate and visiting different small towns in the west is fun and interesting; I'm meeting interesting people, seeing different places, and always learning:)
