Shawn,

I will second (and third) Rich’s (Rich76_911s) comment about water.

I would not buy a piece of land without documented (and producing) water. Surface water doesn’t hack it. It comes and goes (and someone else may have prior claim). Shallow wells are equally subject to variation (and even legal challenge from surface water right owners). A deep well with good geologic documentation is about as good as you can get. Even that isn’t a “forever guarantee.”

There are situations where the only potable water is trucked in at enormous expense.

I’ll see if I can find some lay info on Water Law. This is as important (maybe more so), than title work.

Best,
Grady
