Land in the
Big Sioux Basin setting.

Pleasant Valley Colony CDP has 0.49 square miles of land in Moody County. Its Census reference point is in Big Sioux Basin, within Northern Glaciated Plains.

Flat to gently rolling glacial terrain supports a prairie transition between taller and shorter grasses. Many temporary and seasonal wetlands occupy depressions left in the glacial landscape.

Pleasant Valley Colony and Moody County

Pleasant Valley Colony is associated with Moody County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Moody County

Pleasant Valley Colony by land and water

The Census records 0.01 square miles of water within Pleasant Valley Colony, or 2.2% of its total area. It is 1.9 percentage points higher than the 0.3% recorded for Moody County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Pleasant Valley Colony land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Separate Pleasant Valley Colony’s place name from its government

Pleasant Valley Colony is a Census-designated place, a statistical community rather than an incorporated municipality. Confirm the actual planning jurisdiction before treating a Pleasant Valley Colony address as city approval. Moody County is the geographic starting point for the records.

02

Read the Big Sioux Basin setting

Big Sioux Basin belongs to Northern Glaciated Plains. What do current parcel maps show about depressions, drainage and road frontage within the glacial plain?

03

Check the route, beyond Union

Union is 1.1 miles northwest of the Pleasant Valley Colony reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Pleasant Valley Colony
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Pleasant Valley Colony?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Moody County. Pleasant Valley Colony’s 0.49 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Pleasant Valley Colony property in Big Sioux Basin?+

No. Big Sioux Basin is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Pleasant Valley Colony boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Union as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 1.1 miles northwest of Pleasant Valley Colony’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Pleasant Valley Colony?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
