I am looking at a landlocked house on 5 acres.
It was not always land locked but because the previous owners "tricked" a couple banks, 55 acres got divided into 5+ a house and 55.
There is an easement but it runs onto the 50 acres.
The lady who now owns the 50 acres does not want to give an easement to get to the houes because she wants the house + 5 acres for $6000
The man who gave the easement does not want to give another and when people who are trying to close on the house have approached him about buying some land from him are given a ridiculous price.
My SO noticed he has some kind of similar equipment on his property and isnt wondering if we couldnt either
A) Barter with cash and other services (mechanicing, logging, etc)
B) See if his uncle (who lives down the street) doesnt know him and cant get him to turn loose.. (but could be doubtful)
C) Just go to the other side land owner
Supposedly the people who use to own the 55 acres + the house were rather.. sleezy. They signed juuuust enough paper work to get by and make it look all legal. The neighbors didnt fancy them much and I guess are still holding a grudge.
If you were the land owners (we are wanting to purchase land from) what would convince you to sell me about 12000 sqft of your 70+ acres if you were still bitter?
(and remember.. other people have already approached you about the same thing)
I have included a layout of the land
(I would like a drive either where the green is, or just on the other side of the white and orange line...)
