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 — Deciduous Forest predominant. “Open” = grazable shrub, grass, pasture & crop.
Forest87%
Open / grazable12%
Water / wetland2%
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.

Senior

Senior decreed water with priority back to 1884 — a senior priority date under Colorado prior appropriation; what actually conveys, and on what terms, is established by the decrees and title diligence.

Water wells (2)
2 permitted water wells fall 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.
