Over the River Project

Posted on January 31, 2012

There has been great debate and publicity surrounding the “Over The River” project. The world famous Cristo is planning on draping the Arkansas River with approx 6 miles of fabric. The debates include things like environmental concerns, traffic, employment, wildlife, local established business, new business and general bother to the city.

Endorsements in favor of the Cristo “Over the River” project are coming in but the silence of those not endorsing the project is just about as loud. If the project is as successful as planners hope there will be approx 400,000 to 500,000 visitors to the Canon City and Royal Gorge area in a short two week period of time.

My opinion as a local resident fluctuates between approval and disapproval although nobody actually asked my opinion. My biggest concerns are....

Fremont County Market Report: Solds over the past 4 Months (Jan, 2012)

This Colorado River area is interesting to try to analyze. Howard, Coaldale, Cotopaxi (previously known as Pleasant Valley) all are nestled along the headwaters of the Arkansas River but are not as well known as Salida and Buena Vista CO. I love Howard and we may buy some horse property down there.

Consequently, sales are a bit depressed in that area, as are listing prices (unless it is a big ranch). Days on market are higher.

And yet, for homes with acreage, it is the best deal around. I have included a link for you to explore... Howard Colorado Homes from $180,000 to $280,000.

Historic Cabin in Cotopaxi CO

Yes, really. This lovely cabin was built in 1896 with a master bedroom added later. The owner lived in it year round for years until her husband died and now she wants out. She will even consider owner financing.

The place has 1 bedroom, a living room, large kitchen/eating room and a bathroom. The home is powered by solar and is heated with electric heaters and wood. The bathroom has an Envirolet in it but septic and a standard toilet could be easily added.

Vacation home or year round... this is the best deal in Fremont County.
