The land

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

Land cover
NLCD 2021 — Deciduous Forest predominant. “Open” = grazable shrub, grass, pasture & crop.
Forest56%
Open / grazable40%
Developed2%
Water / wetland3%
Buildability
Construction feasibility synthesized across slope, soils, landslide & flood — the constraints a land buyer pays for, joined to one parcel.
Build constraint
Favorable

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.

Climate profile
Long-run climate normals at the parcel centroid, averaged over 2014–2023. Drives growing season & water for ranch/ag use, plus snow load for buildability.

Source: Open-Meteo Historical Weather archive (ERA5 reanalysis), 2014–2023 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
Senior

Senior decreed water with priority back to 1896 — 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.
