What is BLM land?
BLM stands for the
Bureau of Land Management and is a part of the U.S. Dept. of the
Interior. There is approximately 264 million acres of public lands
in 12 western states that they oversee.
BLM land is
available for all kinds of recreational activities such as
hunting, fishing, horseback riding and more, similar to what you
can do in a National Forest. Having property the abuts BLM land is
a wonderful advantage.
See more
detailed information at the BLM
website.
What is Live Water or Water Rights?
Colorado water
laws are very complicated, so much so that Colorado even has it's
own water courts and judges! Colorado is actually a dry state - we
do have some major rivers, but most of the water from those rivers
is used by other states and large municipalities.
If your land has a
creek or stream on it (called surface water or live water) the
right to use that surface water is deeded separately from the
land.
For more
information on water rights you can find a guide
here or visit the Colorado Division of Water Resources.
What is the Difference Between Household and Domestic Well
Permits?
If you have less
than 35 acres you would apply for a household well permit, meaning
you will use the well water for household purpo ses
only.
If you plan on
raising any livestock including horses, chickens, goats, cattle,
etc. you would need to apply for a domestic well which allows
usage of water outside your home for your domestic animals, your
lawn and gardens, etc.
You can store
water in a stock tank or irrigate up to one acre for a crop or
gardens on a domestic well.
What's the Big Deal About the Colorado Weather?
Our Colorado
weather is a huge draw for people in other states. We have all
four seasons, although the mountain properties have shorter,
cooler summers and you will probably never need air conditioning.
Colorado has an average of 300 days a year that the sun shows its
face at least some of the day.
In the summer
months the Colorado mountains are famous for beautiful sunny
mornings with thunderstorms rolling in the afternoon. The winter
months bring our fair share of snow as well as bright sunshine.
There's a saying in Colorado that if you don't like the weather,
wait 15 minutes!
