Most people who buy these types of properties do so to go off grid besides there's no problem with building an earthbag or straw bale house, lots of labor but cheap.You're also up in the mountains, yeah it's a huge valley but if you look at cell phone coverage maps..............Probably a mix of both wind turbine and solar but you will be very limited in what both will give you. I doubt you'll have the drop or stream available to install a mini Pelton wheel for power.The property is most likely undeveloped which means a well or cistern(water tank), septic and approved access road, heat (propane of wood), generator for electricity or oil lamps/candles and it may be inaccessible at times during the winter months without a snow mobile. As for growing pot the one in Trinidad is a quarter way up Raton Pass in the old Toyota dealership next to the Walmart right off of I 25 so it can be done but only inside where the temp can be .From the sounds of it though, it doesn't seem like that area would be good for growing pot would it? It doesn't get hot enough... and unless there is enough water there for a well, you have to have water tanks and pay for water deliveries.
Don't get me wrong by the way, not trying to discourage you, simply pointing out some things to do research on before taking the plunge.

I wouldn't mind having some property up in the mountains.
Is it windy enough up there to use a couple wind turbines for power? Or does it get enough sunlight to use solar power? Maybe a combination of the two? The only thing I wouldn't like about it, is having to use satellite internet because it is extremely expensive and low quality.
Unless you can hook up to a phone company you'll need satellite, neither is a great option but phone is still cheaper and better.
Yeah if using phone, the signal would be so weakened they might not even be able to put in DSL. I've heard about this problem even here in Kentucky.
