Crowley County, created in 1911, is part of eastern Colorado’s high plains region. The county seat is Ordway; other towns include Olney Springs and Rocky Ford (partially). The terrain is flat to gently rolling, heavily agricultural/ranching in nature, and sparsely populated. Housing stock is generally single-family homes in small towns, ranch-style homes on acreage, and land parcels. Because demand is low and location remote compared to Colorado’s metro areas, home prices for existing homes may range in the US$150,000-250,000 range for modest homes, with larger acreage homes higher. Building a new home may cost US$200-250+ per sq ft plus site prep because utilities and access may be limited. The area is a very rural county; urban access is far— the nearest larger city might be Pueblo (~1.5 hrs) or Denver (~2+ hrs). For someone wanting minimal neighbours, large lots and quiet living, this works—but amenities and services are comparatively limited.
