Cob: Getting land to build on?

[Kimberly Nicole Hoyer]

I just moved to the Denver, Colorado area and am anxious to start on my 
cob/strawbale home.  First, however, I need to find and purchase a piece of 
land to build it on.  This is the part of the equation that seems to be the 
most daunting for me (and for many others with great imagination but limited 
finances, I imagine).  Does anyone know of any good real estate firms that 
deal with natural builders in the Denver area? Better yet, does anyone have 
any comprehensive answers to the question of looking for and buying land 
from both the practical and design perspective in Colorado? Do you know 
anyone who went through this process in the area that I could connect with? 
Any suggested books? I am also interested in the idea of an ecovillage or 
intentional community. Once I get past this hurdle, building will be easy.  
I would greatly appreciate any help from anyone who has a good grasp of this 
topic.
