Hey @Laura Casner I am in the process of building an 800 sq ft A frame from DEN Outdoors on 1.8 acres near Ellijay.

You can also go out door knocking, or pretty much finding any other way to talk to people. 

Close to beautiful Laguna Beach plus endless opportunities for outdoor hiking trails.

Than I come in as they are looking to sell it and had the joy of letting them know out-door sprinkler line is NOT allowable as in-door water line!   

I’m in Clayton, which has a bit more to do for the outdoor enthusiast, but overall similar to your market.we do get weeklong stays.

Follow the different outdoor attractions on IG and Facebook.

, also I have heard Arvada and Westminster are less expensive and nice too.Are you an outdoors person?

My good friends started out door knocking.You are doing what many will notMany won't respond to mailMany phones are disconnectedI hear people aren't very happy be prepared for this.Not everyone is fully ready to accept where they are at and motivation may go up over time.

Like Chatt has a huge outdoor scene, so we have insane eco tourism, we also have the fastest internet in the country so that brings tech folks to us, and we have an influx of manufacturing in the last decade and some change.
