You want a sad case. Guy acquired a piece of land from a farm division. Nice quiet area. Perhaps three to four acre lot. Asked the vendor what she was going to do with the other components of the property. Said more housing but he did not get it in writing.

Built a really nice house and very large garage. The guy gets it all done plus extensive landscaping. She then puts an RV park right up to his property line and even worse it is slightly upslope from him. Place has been for sale for three years without a buyer in sight. In my opinion it may never sell. Even if it ever does he would only get pennies on the dollar.

This lady is also very aggressive as well. Our beaches are privately owned. She wanted to shuttle her commercial traffic down on to them. In her deed she has access to them. Yet not the use of them. Strange situation but she remains persistent.

In the days when a lot of deeds and arrangements where drawn up the cottage lots where only around 100 dollars apiece. So things were pretty loose sometimes and people less concerned. . Where a cheapy cottage lot will get you into at least 60K today with prices rising if you can even find one.

Then she makes a big error. She gathers up twelve people as her guests and not people from the RV park. . Comes down and one of them starts to physically push one of the beach owners around on his own beach property. That was it. A five hundred dollar fine for any further intrusion by any person up there. We had all the beach area posted as private property much earlier. It has been quiet for the last two years. The police did not lay charges but their financial message obviously got across.

Anyways look at the bright side. These issues are usually problematic and it fortunately is not your issue. I own some issues that will probably never be resolved. Just not worth the fight and aftermath. Usually we brought the properties so cheap I also knowingly got the issues. Although on occasion I have had to tell people to not erect any fence on our properties. Squatting type laws are generally still in effect in most places. There was talk locally of killing them but nothing ever occurred. .
