A land valuation comparing two scenarios for 36-acre parcels. The floor case values them at $125,000–$150,000 each ($2.5–$3 million total), while the base case with recorded access and a water plan reaches $162,000–$198,000 each ($3.24–$3.96 million total). Access and water rights are the main value drivers.

Are you doing deals like this? Floor case, no real subdivision premium. If the market treats this mostly as a chopped up rural egg lots and the water story is muddy, so $125,000 to $150,000 per, uh, 36-acre parcel, total gross is $2.5 to $3 million. That's basically no real win after the cost. The base case realistic retail. So if you create 20 legal 36-acre parcels, established recorded access, and can show a credible parcel-by-parcel water plan, $162,000 to $198,000 per parcel, total gross value of $3.24 to $3.96 million. This range I think is most, is most defensible today.
