Serving the communities of Crawford, Paonia, Hotchkiss, and the Surface Creek area, Needlerock is a full-service real estate company.

Whether buying or selling, we go the extra mile to help our clients move on to the next phase in their lives.

We're blessed with a great real estate environment in our region of Western Colorado. The lifestyle of the North Fork Valley offers the best that Colorado has to offer. There is an ample amount of agricultural property for people who are searching for organic farms, orchards, vineyards, and ranches. The climate is truly phenomenal--we have mild winters, spectacular springtime, warm summers, and beautiful autumns. As one old-timer remarked, "Just about the time you get tired of one season, the next season rolls in. We have the perfect climate." Prices are still affordable for working cattle ranches, hunting properties, hay properties, and horse properties.

The residential real estate market in Crawford, Paonia, and Hotchkiss is strong as well. Because the North Fork Valley is located on the fringe of energy production, demand is still strong for homes and small acreage parcels. There are three coal mines located in the North Fork Valley with a total workforce of several hundred, and gas drilling is taking place in the mountains to the north. It's a reasonable commute for gas field workers to get to their jobs. Energy jobs are typically high-paying and the local economy is doing well.

Commercial opportunities exist here as well. There are several investment opportunities available with good income potential. Hotchkiss, in particular, is becoming a regional trade center for the local communities, and we have excellent properties listed with great locations on main traffic streets.

If you're looking for a truly unique property that no one else can find, call us. We have listings with canyon rimrock cliffs, streamside wilderness retreats, hunting properties, rural homesteads, cabins in the woods, and many other unique real estate opportunities. Call us for a friendly chat, and we'll help you to make your dreams become a reality. Our brokers specialize in ranches, residential, farm and orchard properties, and mountain land. Liz Sawatzky and Bill Murray are here to help you buy and sell real estate in the North Fork Valley of Colorado.
