Central CO title since
Westcliffe, Silver Cliff, and the ranches of the Wet Mountain Valley, under the Sangre de Cristos. We read conservation easements, senior water rights, and 35-acre splits locally — and close your file in person, in Denver, or remotely with a notary.
This isn't subdivision title. Conservation easements blanket the Wet Mountain Valley — Colorado Open Lands alone holds dozens of properties across tens of thousands of acres — so an easement in the chain is the rule, not the exception, and it shapes what a buyer can and can't do.
Add senior water rights on historic ranches and 35- and 5-acre ranchette splits with shared wells and access easements across open range, and these become files you want read by someone who's seen them before. One more local wrinkle: Custer County's records are digitized from 1981 forward — roughly 1967–1980 isn't online, and plats aren't online at all. A clean search often means a call to the recorder. We make it.
Loop us in early and we'll surface what conveys with the land — and what's encumbered — long before the closing table.
Pick your community for local detail, or just call the office — same team, whole county.
What we examine on Custer County files — read locally, explained in plain language.
They're everywhere out here — and each limits use, division, and resale differently. We read the easement, not just the deed, so a buyer knows what they're buying into.
Historic ranches carry senior decrees, ditch rights, and shared wells. We surface what conveys with the land and what's reserved — the difference that makes or breaks a ranch deal.
Ranchette splits bring shared-access and well questions — and Custer's pre-1981 records and plats aren't online. We chase the off-line chain so nothing surfaces late.
"We read the easement, not just the deed — so nothing surfaces at the table."
Straight answers. Informational only — not legal advice.
All of them — Westcliffe, Silver Cliff, and the ranches and parcels across the Wet Mountain Valley. We keep an office at 7 Bassick Pl, Westcliffe, CO 81252. Call 719-735-2283 or email info@centralcoloradotitle.com to open a file.
Much of the valley is under conservation easement, and each restricts use, division, and resale in its own way. We review the actual easement terms in your chain — not just the deed — so you know what you can and can't do with the land.
Yes. The county's records are digitized from 1981 forward; roughly 1967–1980 isn't online and plats aren't online at all. We work directly with the recorder's office to complete the chain — a step automated searches miss.
