    Verify augmentation plans + diligence on the priority date

    Recommendedwater

    4 senior water rights on record at or near this parcel (oldest priority 1889). Under prior appropriation those RIGHTS stand near the front of the call line in dry years — but they benefit this parcel only if they convey with it. Verify ownership and conveyance, augmentation-plan membership, and any pending change-of-use applications.

⚠ 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.

Senior decreed water with priority back to 1889 — 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 (5)
5 permitted water wells are 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.

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.

  • FEMA Elevation CertificateA licensed surveyor produces an EC documenting the first-floor elevation relative to base flood elevation. Often reduces NFIP premium significantly; required for some private flood carriers.
  • Compare NFIP vs private flood policiesPrivate flood insurance has expanded since 2019; for some SFHA properties it under-prices NFIP by 30-50% with broader coverage limits.

Geohazards
Radon zone is an EPA county-level rating — most Colorado mountain counties are Zone 1 (the highest tier), so testing is recommended on any build. The nearest mapped Quaternary fault is shown for context; Colorado’s Quaternary faults are sparse and largely low-slip-rate.
EPA radon zone
Zone 2 — moderate potential (2–4 pCi/L)

Sources: Colorado Geological Survey statewide Landslide Inventory (mapped deposits, not a debris-flow susceptibility model), the EPA Map of Radon Zones (county-level), and the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database. Descriptive, not legal or engineering advice — confirm slope stability, radon, and seismic conditions with a qualified professional before acting.
