You can partially thank the National Parks' for determining development areas.
Other than the obvious, the other item I know that affects building lots in the mountain areas of Colorado is which slope you're facing. South facing slopes go for A LOT more than North facing slopes for obvious reasons too.

I saw a nice looking little A-Frame cabin outside of Idaho Springs a couple of months ago that was very tempting. It was outside of town in a very wooded area, and it was around $115,000 for 600 or 700 square feet. The lot wasn't big, but was big enough to give you a little seclusion with the woods (maybe 1/4 or 1/2 acre - don't recall). It was quite tempting, but for that price I can take a lot of vacations and not have to keep two houses maintained.
