Mountain Living Colorado - 8 Things to Know

[@pegrasmusson4636]

We have lived in the mountains for the last 33 years. Everything you said in your video is completely relevant and accurate! Excellent information for people coming up to altitude. Thank you for sharing!

[@Neel-xe1po]

Most realtors are just out there to do the paperwork. I love your accurate extensive knowledge on all things home related. I am in the construction world specifically septic installation and your brief description of the functionality of a septic system as a whole sounds like you have a pretty good grasp on how they actually funtion. Most people dont have a clue

[@SomewhereInColorado]

I appreciate the props 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻

[@Mala-Ipsa-Nova]

Yet no mentions of aligning your chakras with the magnetic plane & forces of your property. Anything about potential dimensional portals/vortexes on your property? 🙄 LoL, thank you for the informative video!

[@Whoiskevinjones]

Selecting the right county is key. We live in unincorporated Boulder county. Tough building requirements but very desirable.

[@itsemzee856]

Thanks Sean! Your video is so insghtful! Got my property near Florissant and i'm loving it so far

[@archibaldmurrayiv1851]

Is that an easy area to find work, pay bills, etc. I'm looking at land near there or cripple creek. Seems like it's far away from bigger cities

[@steele652]

CCME in Cripple Creek, Colorado is the perfect spot. In the mountains 1 hour from Colorado Springs, 1:45 from Breckenridge, 2 hours from Denver. Roads are POA maintained, gas and water hookups. NO DRILLING A WELL; a well could cost you thousands depends on where the water table lies. Do it! 1.5 acres for roughly 25k. Back up to thousands of acres of BLM land.

[@zj1026]

Question in that area, do you need a septic?

[@steele652]

@@zj1026 yes I believe so

[@marthabradas8873]

Very good information!

[@indigenous31617]

We looked at houses in Conifer. I was thinking about fires and got a house in Littleton.

[@maybeerainmaybeesnow]

Thanks for all the useful tips!

Glad it was helpful! - Sean

[@crochet.with.illjay]

Helpful, thank you!

[@SomewhereInColorado]

Hey thanks. We are trying to think of more mountain videos to shoot. Do you have any questions you'd want answered?

[@crochet.with.illjay]

@@SomewhereInColorado Yes, I would love to know more about the water rights, water quality, permits, wells, and collecting rainwater in Colorado.

[@amynakosgroup]

This is a great and informative video! I sell in Summit and also get the same questions!! Good job.

[@SomewhereInColorado]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@gloriamendez2386]

Thank you…..love the tips…..thank you again

[@SomewhereInColorado]

Thank you

[@annoyingboringuseless]

@ 2:25 did you use that pic of some place in Europe?

[@SomewhereInColorado]

maybe.....probably. We use a 3rd party source for b-role sometimes.

[@RhoadsOfLife]

This was some great info!! We are all of those things! 😂 We want to move from Delaware to Montrose area or at least an hour from Telluride. We haven’t a darn clue what we’re doing can you help us!?

[@jeffwdc1508]

Thank you. Great information.

[@SomewhereInColorado]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Freightorious]

Good video. Thanks

[@SomewhereInColorado]

Thank you. It’s one of our first and I think it’s so bad 😁

[@Balenzayaga]

Nice video 🔥

[@elenamuttart2669]

great job

[@brightestfuture]

ive been looking at black hawk for 5 years now. i visited a home ive seen on line for 2 years, the driveway was too steep and it was dark

[@SomewhereInColorado]

yep. there's usually some element of the home that is making it undesirable.

[@eduardoreybrummel9432]

Check water rights. Just because you own the land, owning the water beneath it isn't automatic.

[@SomewhereInColorado]

we have a new video all about hydrology coming up next

[@Ghostworks999]

My question is can you build a 320sqft container home in park county? Are building permits really hard to get and how expensive is it to simply pass inspection. Can you have water tanks And like what are the discrepancies. Does it drive the whole price up Because of the mandatory regulations? Or can you truly live off the grid.

[@SomewhereInColorado]

parkco.us/75/Building.

[@stieldaddy3846]

Water rights and a south facing driveway.

[@mountainmedium111]

Excellent Information! I'm a retired mountain luxury cabin broker in AZ. I've lived 26 yrs above 8200' in AZ, +4 yrs in CO. AZ mountain lots are entirely different from CO land! My biggest questions are, where in CO, can you research whether property is in floodplain, in range of possible volcanic activity, & where, if any, are existing fault lines potential of Earthquake activity? Thank you for this great video! ✨⛰🏡✨

[@SomewhereInColorado]

Gosh. thank you for the comment and great question. There aren't really flood zones up here as most people are outside or above the canyons...but that's where you'll find them. I know FEMA has good tools if you want to check particular areas. msc.fema.gov/portal/home Earthquake? never heard that question but Geologic studies indicate there are about 100 potentially active faults Colorado and more than 400 earthquake tremors of magnitude 2.5 or higher have occurred in Colorado since 1870. coloradogeologicalsurvey.org/hazards/eq/ I think if there's a super volcano we have much bigger issues. lol. hope this helped

[@mountainmedium111]

@@SomewhereInColorado - Thank you so much! I appreciate your time in getting these links for me! Best Wishes!

[@ThorgalsWalhalla]

lol "take your shit and get out of here" i ve heard septic tank before but didn t know what it is and how it works

[@SomewhereInColorado]

I got you! 🤜💥🤛

[@FlewTheCoop]

Elevation impact on oxygen and health, not just for you but your guests. We live at 9100. During the day, my oxygen saturation is about 92% on average according to my smart watch it started falling down into the 80s when I slept at night so I now sleep with an oxygen concentrator. I have had one family member have to go back down into Colorado Springs to catch their breath, and I had another who wasn’t the best of HEALTH ended up in the hospital at Penrose in Colorado Springs. My understanding is that to compensate for the lack of oxygen up here your blood will create additional red blood cells which may lead to a thickening of your blood. So you seriously may want to consider talking to your doctor if you have health issues before going to live at extreme elevation.

[@SomewhereInColorado]

GREAT COMMENT. some people it doesn't bother much at all and some people have a real problem with it.

[@DanSme1]

First real question realtors want to ask. How much MONEY is available for your purchase. 2) what’s your time frame so I can estimate/schedule a closing, because my commission is first/ and foremost. 🤣

[@sethtenrec]

You recovered well from your stroke

[@SomewhereInColorado]

Blushes. ☺️ little paralysis from a car wreck but thanks for the kind words.

i guess it is kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to stream newly released series online ?

[@deshawnfrank6149]

@Dalton Jameson I would suggest flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

[@shadowcross7248]

Do I have to follow any of these codes in Costilla County or is it different?

[@BR-lx7py]

You do have to follow all the local rules of course. No camping for example in most areas.

[@terimiles9885]

So, I'm curious. How do you REALLY find out the internet speeds where you want to live in the mountains of Colorado? For example, I scoped out #pagosaspringscolorado BEFORE moving. Everything online said, HIGH-SPEED internet, which was BS! The highest speed I got was 10 Mbps, and I was in north Pagosa, IN TOWN! I moved to the foothills of Denver and am working my way back to a more serene and quiet mountain area. Thoughts?

[@SomewhereInColorado]

Hi! The best way!? thats though. You can them speed-test the internet and show you results if you want to be exact. Normally talking to the sellers and neighbors give you an idea. If they have 3 teenagers and work from home you should be fine.😉.

[@DanSme1]

#9 NINE! Don’t move to the Colorado rural or mountains and EXPECT all the same urban services. Then foreigners become critical of locals and go on individual or group Crusades to change the status quo BECAUSE you’re so superior and KNOW what’s best for everyone else. Of course I’ve just described Colorado in its entirety, with the influx of Californians over the past 45 years.

[@CDMJDMHHC]

wait I have watched frozen and it is easy what are you talking about

[@SomewhereInColorado]

Hahah. Top comment. 👆🏻 It’s exactly like that. If you’re comfortable with the lifestyles lead in Frozen you’ll do fine.

[@wilsons2882]

yello! fellow sentient human from eastern himalayas. i always believed that americans live on foothills and hardly have i ever seen them building cities and townships in mountains and hill ranges; elevation ranging from 1500m to 1800m and higher. Never seen that. The first part about access in the video surely made me question. I was like woah. steep roads and high mountain homes. that's depressing like how we live here. I knew yall lived in mountains but made it flat like a plateau of sorts with no gradient slope or any of those steep slopes only gentle slopes but this seems depressing.

[@jasonboyd7042]

How the hell does one afford a house in the mountains? Their damn near million dollar homes. Here in Missouri a 3 bedroom 2 bath goes for $135k. A house like I described doesn’t seem to exist in the mountains

[@ws775]

Is Ward Colorado still known as "hippyville"?

[@rahkinrah1963]

No. It is now overrun with SJWs and libs from Boulder.

[@SomewhereInColorado]

that's too bad

[@Whoiskevinjones]

We live in Ward. Best place in the state, but don't tell anyone!
