The deal

What this parcel is worth, what encumbers it, and what its paper trail says — value, distress, listings, sales, and tax.

Distress signals

No distress filings on record for this parcel. We monitor county clerk recordings (NEDs, lis pendens, liens, judgements) and join them via fuzzy name match.

For sale

No active for-sale listings on record for this parcel. We track public-record foreclosure-sale lists (county Public Trustee) and attach them here when a sale is scheduled.

The land

What the ground itself is — cover, soils, buildability, water, minerals, and the public land around it.

Land cover
NLCD 2021 — Grassland/Herbaceous predominant. “Open” = grazable shrub, grass, pasture & crop.

Open / grazable60%
Soils
USDA SSURGO — Wetopa family (Wetopa-Doughspon-Echemoor families complex, 5 to 40 percent slopes). Land-capability class rates farm/graze suitability (1 best → 8 unsuited).

Buildability
Construction feasibility synthesized across slope, soils, landslide & flood — the constraints a land buyer pays for, joined to one parcel.
Build constraint
Moderate
  • Moderate slope (~20%)
  • Group-D soil — high runoff; septic & foundation cost
  • EPA radon Zone 1 — sub-slab mitigation typical
Climate profile
Long-run climate normals at the parcel centroid, averaged over 20142023. Drives growing season & water for ranch/ag use, plus snow load for buildability.

Source: Open-Meteo Historical Weather archive (ERA5 reanalysis), 20142023 daily normals. Frost-free days count days whose overnight low stayed above 32°F. The snow-load band is a buyer-facing heuristic from annual snowfall, not an engineered ground-snow-load design value — confirm with the local building department before relying on it.

Water security
Decreed surface-water rights & seniority synthesized into one prior-appropriation read — the water question a ranch or land buyer leads with.
Water security
Vulnerable

No decreed water rights on record — on-site water would rely on a well permit or hauled water. A real constraint in a drought- or fire-exposed area.

Water rights

No water rights linked to this parcel. We spatially join CO Division of Water Resources records within 200m of the parcel centroid. Most non-agricultural mountain parcels have none on file.

Oil & gas wells

No oil & gas wells within ½ mile of this parcel. Sourced from the Colorado Energy & Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) public registry.

Distance is measured to the nearest edge of each unit's bounding box (a fast approximation, not precise polygon containment). “Inside unit boundary” means the parcel centroid sits within the unit's bbox; verify against the unit's precise boundary before acting.

Geohazards
Radon zone is an EPA county-level rating — most Colorado mountain counties are Zone 1 (the highest tier), so testing is recommended on any build. The nearest mapped Quaternary fault is shown for context; Colorado’s Quaternary faults are sparse and largely low-slip-rate.
EPA radon zone
Zone 1 — highest potential (predicted indoor avg > 4 pCi/L)

Sources: Colorado Geological Survey statewide Landslide Inventory (mapped deposits, not a debris-flow susceptibility model), the EPA Map of Radon Zones (county-level), and the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database. Descriptive, not legal or engineering advice — confirm slope stability, radon, and seismic conditions with a qualified professional before acting.
