Colorado was the best kept secret! Pleasant summers, mild winters. We make the news when their is a big storm. Expect to shovel up to 10 times a year. This year - twice (once because I wanted the exercise, I knew it would melt the next day).

The best deal on land is in the SW mountains. Alamosa area. It is in a basin and a great community. If you are wanting to be a little closer to civilization, then maybe Loveland. Housing and land will cost your more. Colorado is a conservative state (other than Boulder).

Colorado really could be called the sunshine state. In Denver you can golf all year round except when snow is on the ground. Last year there were 20 days, year before 28, and this year only 16 days where you could NOT golf. (I work with someone who golfs 4x per week, and he counts the days each year).
