Short answer
The well permit (household use only, or domestic and livestock watering), any water rights or ditch shares and whether they convey, the county zoning and animal-unit limit, and the condition of the barn, fencing and septic. The Kenna Group checks all four before your inspection deadline.

The count comes from listing remarks, so it includes homes with horse zoning, barns, arenas or nearby trail access. We confirm what each property allows before you tour.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Well permit | The Colorado Division of Water Resources issues each permit. A household-use-only well does not allow watering livestock; many wells on 35 acres or more allow domestic use and livestock watering. Read the permit number on the state database. |
| Water rights and ditch shares | Irrigation water is a separate property right. The Colorado contract has its own water rights section, and the shares have to be named to convey. |
| Zoning and animal units | Each county sets how many animals a parcel can keep by zone and acreage. We pull the zoning before you offer. |
| Septic | Rural homes use a septic system. Get it inspected and pumped, and check the county rules at sale. |
| Barn, arena and fencing | Roof, electrical, waterers, footing and fence condition. These repairs add up fast. |
| Wildfire and insurance | Get an insurance quote early. Defensible space and the distance to a fire station change the premium. |
| Access and roads | Who maintains the road, the gate and the easement, and whether a horse trailer turns around. |

No. A household-use-only permit does not allow watering livestock. You need a permit that allows it, or another water source.
It depends on the county zoning and the land. Counties set animal limits by zone, and dry pasture carries fewer animals than irrigated ground.
Only if the contract says so. Water rights and ditch shares are separate property and have to be named to convey.
Yes. We price from acreage sales, market to equestrian buyers and document the well, water and zoning up front.
