Property Power & Water
There is power in the subdivision! Power is provided by Continental Divide Electric Cooperative. Most properties do not have power readily available. Those that do have immediate access to existing power lines will have that noted in their listings.
Water would be by well or storage. If you intend to have a water well, you should contact a well driller and discuss that possibility before purchase. Our expectation is that in most cases water catchment will be the economical choice.
Sewer would be by septic, but not until you actually build.

Important Property Buyer Notes
No trees or heavy brush may be removed from a property while it is under loan contract. We might waive this requirement if a large down payment is made on the loan, but generally, you will need to wait until the property is fully paid off.
No business or commercial activity of any kind is allowed involving a property under loan contract. any plans you might have of a commercial nature must wait until the property is paid for in full and ownership has been transferred to you..
How to Visit Tierra Verde Listings
Use a 4 wheel drive vehicle to visit these properties, as there are rough places on the road. The area is very secluded, yet accessible.
Some of the secondary roads in Tierra Verde were graded several years ago, and some of the roads were not graded, and don't yet exist. If they are grown over they will need to be trimmed back. If they have not yet been graded, they may need graded to be usable.
Either way they are all platted and they do provide legal road frontage to every single ranchette property! We recommend taking a 4 wheel drive just to be on the safe side. All of the parcels were surveyed and have their corners pinned. You will get a copy of the survey map.
