This parcel's recorded sale
⚠ part of a multi-parcel deed — not a per-parcel price

Why this differs from the assessor value above: Colorado assesses agricultural-classified land on grazing productivity (ag-use value), typically ~30–40× below market. This estimate instead applies the county median $/acre from clean single-parcel arms-length ag sales (bulk multi-parcel deeds, government/exempt land, and nominal transfers excluded). An estimate, not an appraisal.

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.

Water well
A permitted water well is recorded at or near this parcel (primarily domestic). A permitted well is real, recorded water access from the CO Division of Water Resources — and on unbuilt rural land it is often the gating utility for buildability.

Most recent permit

Source: the Colorado Division of Water Resources well-permit registry (CDSS). These are WATER wells (domestic / irrigation / stock), not oil & gas wells. Wells are matched to the parcel by proximity to its centroid, not by surveyed boundary — a well listed here can sit on an adjacent parcel. Descriptive, not legal advice — confirm the permit location, decreed use, and yield with CO DWR before relying on them.

Oil & gas wells

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