Off Grid Property Search in Colorado and Idaho
We are Doug and Keri and we are starting the process of moving from a "normal" life in the suburbs of Denver to an off grid life!
In this video we are going to compare Colorado and Idaho…Here is what we found:
We evaluated the Grand Junction Area of Colorado:
*Climate/temperature/natural disasters: Similar to Denver with Definite seasons getting snow,
wind, and not a lot of rain. Natural Disasters include blizzard, avalanche , draught, and wildfire. Also, CO can get tornadoes especially on the eastern side of the state.
*Grow Zone: Grand Junction is 7a
*Proximity to our current address: It’s 4 hours away
*Natural resources: Grand Junction is a high desert atmosphere with the Colorado River running through and some areas of trees and lots of desert conditions. A lot of game available including deer and fish.
*Political affiliation: CO used to be considered purple, but is now a largely Democrat controlled state.
*Taxes/Affordability/Cost of living: Colorado is a fairly tax friendly State. Colorado is ranked #34 out of the 50 states with #1 being the most affordable and #50 being the most expensive.
We evaluated the Boise area of Idaho:
*Climate/temperature/natural disasters: Similar to CO with snow, sun,wind, and very distinct
Seasons. Natural disasters include Wildfires, floods, winter storms, draught, earthquakes, tornadoes, and landslides.
*Grow zone in Boise area: 6b
*Proximity to our current address: 13 Hours
*Natural resources: Water, trees, sun, and game
*Political affiliation: Idaho is considered a Republican state, but this may be changing with all the people moving there from the East and West coasts.
*Taxes/affordability/cost of living: Idaho is a very tax friendly state. Idaho is ranked #25 out of the 50 states with #1 being the most affordable and #50 being the most Expensive.
