The problem with two acres lots in this valley is that nobody want 2 acres of treeless desert off of 285. Two acre lots in places like Alpine, Eagles Roost, Mesa Antero, MPHOA, Three Elk and Game Trail would work and would sell. There is a big difference between 2 acres of treeless desert and 2 acres of lush green land with a beautiful home on it. Its really not even debatable. I am so sick of people trying to do with my property. I understand wanting some zoning and control over the process. However, having full control over what I do with my property is sickening and screams of envy towards someone who has something you do not. If you dont want development I recommend this: 1) Attend top tier University. 2) Obtain a degree in a field that will pay you well. 3) Work hard and save your money. 4) Buy a large piece of property. 5) Do whatever the heck you with this property. Including letting it sit vacant so you can enjoy YOUR views. If you dont want to make this type of commitment than it is your loss. Please stay out of my life and off my property.

(I just changed that.) I just spoke with Leslie at <a href="http://www.buysalida.com/" rel="nofollow">Salida Realty</a> who said that as of today there are 400 properties (land only) for sale at 2 acres or greater in Chaffee County. Looking at the entire local MLS, which includes Lake and Fremont Counties, there are 1,058 properties at 2 acres or greater.

Thanks for the update, I wondered where this process was. Heard a lot about it in the beginning, but then it tapered off. One question - I heard that there were over a thousand two acres lots for sale in the county. You refer to the first week of November 93 having 203 lots, do you know today's number? great article.
