"A scenic cattle farming area of Colorado"

Collbran is a quiet little community of only 706 residents. Many of these people are farmers or cattle ranchers, although the most common industry for men is construction and for women it's educational services. The median household income here is $45,217 and the median average home price is $178,659. While these figures are below the state averages, they aren't far below. As a matter of fact, there are some rather large properties around Collbran that go for well into the millions of dollars.

Collbran is located close to many outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, nordic skiing, and white water rafting. It's an outdoor paradise of sorts in what is nearby and the area is very scenic. This would be a great place to own a cabin or land to camp on.
Pros
  • great properties
  • great valley/mountains
Cons
  • few shopping and dining options
  • remote

"Collbran is a dream vacation spot in the woods"

Near the heart of Grand Mesa National Forest, Collbran has about 700 residents. The little mountain town is along Plateau Creek and in the Plateau Valley famous for cattle farming, and there is also a fair share of farms, hay mostly and horse farms as well. The average annual income for a given household is about $33,000. Many people are ranchers and some commute to Grand Junction which is a little under an hours drive to the west.

I saw a hunting property for 3 million dollars near Collbran with 1000 acres, there are many large properties in the area like this. It is a gorgeous location with mountains all around. Then there is a 5 acre lot with a classic Colorado log cabin in a great spot for $350,000. For those with dough this area is worth checking out, to live where most dream of vacationing in would be nice, huh...
Pros
  • great properties
