A split estate — the minerals beneath are federally owned.
Action plan for this parcel
- 1.
Verify mineral severance vs surface-only ownership
Criticalminerals0 producing wells on the parcel. In CO, surface and mineral rights are commonly severed — pull deed history to confirm what's actually owned. If minerals are reserved to a prior owner, royalties flow to them; if conveyed with surface, royalties + lease bonuses go to the current owner.

The deal
What this parcel is worth, what encumbers it, and what its paper trail says — value, distress, listings, sales, and tax.
- · County-level comp model — no adjustment for condition, view, or remodel. An estimate, not an appraisal.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
