  2. 2.

    Pull the water-right ownership chain

    Recommendedwater

    This parcel has 10 senior water rights (oldest priority 1863). Verify ownership chain via the CO Division of Water Resources — senior rights conveyed with the parcel are worth materially more than unbundled values suggest.

  3. 3.

    Verify augmentation plans + diligence on the priority date

    Recommendedwater

    10 water rights with oldest priority 1863. In Colorado's prior-appropriation system, this puts the parcel near the front of the call line in dry years — verify augmentation plan membership and any pending change-of-use applications.

The land

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

Land cover

Buildability
Construction feasibility synthesized across slope, soils, landslide & flood — the constraints a land buyer pays for, joined to one parcel.

No significant build constraints in the data available for this parcel.

Partial coverage — based on the soil/geohazard layers present for this parcel; the read sharpens as those backfill.

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

Senior decreed water with priority back to 1863 — a senior priority date under Colorado prior appropriation; what actually conveys, and on what terms, is established by the decrees and title diligence.

Water well
A permitted water well falls within 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.
