Mineral Rights Question?

[Martinjmpr]

So do smaller lots, <35 acres usually come with water rights? I've only seen water rights on larger properties and we've looked at a bunch of ~5 acre properties all along Castle Rock and Sedalia and non appeared to have water rights.

I don't think so but I have to admit I never studied water law so I don't know. Unless there's a river or stream on the property I can't imagine that it would be much of an issue.

You need specific permission to hook up to a utility, a tap, or drill a well. The state engineer can help and check with the neighbors. The magic lot size is 35 acres for a lot of issues.
