Top Colorado Counties to Buy Land

This page is read by people shopping for Colorado land and by owners who want out. We buy land. We do not pretend a leftover lot is a bargain house site.

Nearly half of Colorado’s land in the USDA count is in farms, much of it on the Eastern Plains. The parcels we buy more often are small recreation leftovers, inherited ranch splits, and lots with well or access questions. We do not price Aspen onto a county road in Lincoln County.

What “cheap” or “best” usually hides

Low asking prices often sit on landlocked remnants, unpaid taxes, or ground a retail buyer cannot finance. Counties with a lot of vacant plats are not automatically a deal. They are often a carrying-cost story.

Cited farm context

USDA NASS Land Values 2025 Summary put Colorado farm real estate at $2,290 an acre in 2025. Statewide farm average, not an offer on your parcel.

The 2022 Census of Agriculture, Table 8 counted 30,213,899 acres in farms in Colorado, about 45.6% of land area, at $2,401 an acre that year. Still a farm number, still not a bid.
