I have looked into your water rights - well, Montana's water rights. Basically, you can buy the land, but you also have to separately own the water rights. Without water rights, you really have nothing. I understand the "why", but its vastly different than anything back East. I think in some states you are even prohibited from collecting rain-runoff in a rain barrel! That's some crazy ****!impartialobserver » 11 Dec 2024, 1:42 pm » wrote: ↑ Yes, land in NV is cheap if you are not near Reno or Las Vegas. However, in low precipitation years they have to sell their cattle. They keep having to drill deeper and deeper for their wells (for their homes). On another note.. you ever want to get confused look at the laws and arrangements concerning water rights out West. Lots of very bizarre and slightly confounding items.
