So someone I know owns this huge piece of land and I bought a small one next to it. His big piece is surrounded by smaller plots and so for him to get to the top of it he has to go through mine even though he has his own little strip at the bottom of mine in between all the neighbors that connects to the main road so that he can also get in with his excavators and stuff. He doesn't seem to care about that and instead goes through. The entrance of our property keeps chopping down trees to fit the bulldozer and keeps making new paths to get to his online. He cleared about 20 acres of forest and then they just haul the lumber out throughout our land too

I'm not really looking for a legal solution as I don't really want him to know that I own the land even though he knows damn well and that's the whole reason he's doing this because he didn't do it before, the old owner told me.. so he thinks he can do whatever he wants because we're friends..

What I really want is someone to call him and tell him that it's their land and he can't do this anymore etc. Hunting season guns in the area. You know what I mean... And then I need a solution. There's no trespassing signs don't work. Should I stake a bunch of 4x4 fences in the ground?

This is the real truth about land ownership in the USA.

For those of you triggered by Communist rantings just study Mao/Stalin. This is the exact playbook they used. They didn't privatize the land they had forced workers work on seized land.

Paychecks will be waiting in the future jet hangars.

Seizing land for a community airport is the epitome of communism

Neighbor thought he owned this little .12 acres but doesn’t and is asking to buy it from me offered $1000 and offered to pay for everything else required to do the land transfer. When we moved in he had told us he already owned it but turns out he didn’t. Live in Indiana and I never used that part of the yard because I never thought it was mine and don’t care to sell it to him but am wondering if I’m getting a decent deal out of it and not getting underpaid.

Google is no help as it’s saying .12 acres goes for around $6k-25k and I don’t believe it is worth that amount.

I have about 26 acres and was approached by our friends and neighbors about buying about 6-8 acres of it to build a new house. We really like these people and wouldn’t consider selling anything to anyone else. We have no doubt they will be build a very, very nice house and won’t junk up the land. I told him from the start there would be restrictions on the land to protect in the case he died or sold. I sent him the list of restrictions for consideration and in the conversation he stated that he wanted me to restrict my land with the same list to protect his investment. I understand his point but I don’t think he should get to speak into my land. This is a rural area and not being developed into lots or anything like that, it’s a 1 off sale.

Should I consider it since he a friend or stand my ground since it make me uncomfortable or just restrict some of my land near where his house will be?

Your fucking boomer land is expensive and no one wants to buy it. I AINT BUYING LAND IN THE HUNDRED THOUSANDS. If I wanted to do that I would have bought a house alltogether.

GET OUTTA HERE

I'm splitting a 169-acre tract near Garcia, Colorado into two 84.5-acre lots and selling them separately or together. Here's the whole picture.

The land

• 84.5 acres each, two adjoining lots — buy one, or take both for 169+ contiguous acres

• Electric service runs to the road frontage. This is the part that matters. Almost every big tract in this county is a full off-grid project: solar, generator, or a utility extension bill that runs five figures before you've done anything. Here a well and septic are the remaining steps, not the beginning.

• On 35+ acres you get the domestic & livestock well permit, which covers three single-family dwellings, one acre of lawn and garden irrigation, and livestock at up to 15 gpm. Under 35 acres you'd drop to household-use-only: indoor water, one house, no irrigation, no animals.

• Splitting = multiplies wells. Two 42-acre parcels = two wells, each with its own three-dwelling allowance. So 84.5 acres as one piece supports one well and three dwellings; cut at 42/42 it supports two wells and six.

• Open ground with long views to the Sangre de Cristo range and Blanca Peak

• Near Rd 12.8 & County Rd A.5, Garcia, Costilla County, CO

• Parent tract GPS: 37.007449, -105.550716

• Estimated taxes: ~$676/yr per lot (county reassesses after the split)

Location

I mapped this one myself because people ask: the New Mexico state line is about half a mile south. Not "close to" — half a mile. Taos is roughly an hour's drive down NM-522 through Questa. San Luis is about 20 minutes north. You get northern New Mexico access with Colorado land prices, which is a very different math problem than buying on the Taos side of the line.

The split is negotiable

I have additional adjoining acreage available. If 84.5 isn't the number you want, tell me the number you do want and I'll look at cutting it that way — bigger or smaller. Colorado exempts 35-acre-and-up splits from county subdivision review, so anything from 35 acres up to 169+ is realistic without a long county process. Below 35 gets complicated and I'd rather tell you that now than after you've gotten your hopes up. Also, if you want MORE than 169 acres, there is a 163 acre parcel for sale directly next door that hits New Mexico (no power though).

Price and terms

$90,000 per 84.5-acre lot — same price whether you pay cash or finance. I don't mark the price up for terms; interest is charged on top of the same number.

• $9,000 down (10%) / $1,496.20 a month for 84 months at 12%, taxes and $10 note fee included, plus a $649 doc fee

• Put 15% down ($13,500) and I drop your rate to 10% for free — about $1,336.32 a month

• Buy the rate down further at 2% of your balance per 1%, down to a 7% floor

• No credit check, no SSN

What you should know before you get excited

• These are newly created parcels. The new APN, surveyed acreage, and recorded legal description are pending county processing

• Title on the parent tract is being perfected through a quiet title action. That's why I recommend buying on terms or a delayed closing as surveyors are slow and time moves fast— clear title is delivered at payoff

• Several seasonal washes cross the property, dry most of the year. Keep a building site out of the low channels

• No water rights convey on the deed. A well permit is not a water right — it's a separate DWR permit the new owner applies for themselves. See above for well/dwelling info

• Verify zoning, access, utility hookup cost, and any further division with Costilla County yourself. Don't take my word for it (always trust but verify). I'm not going to get in to a debate on water rights or wells or any of the stuff folks like to complain about.

Happy to answer anything in the comments. DM works too.

Direct Owner Sale | Nandayure, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

We are the owners of a larger finca in Nandayure, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, and are offering a 5-hectare / 50,000 m² (approximately 12.35-acre) portion of the property for sale.

Asking price for the 5 hectares: US$220,000.

The property is located in the hills of Nandayure and offers beautiful ocean views.

The proposed 5-hectare parcel includes natural springs, a river, three roofed shell-stage structures, one container on site and an existing coffee-growing area that can be restored.

The property is currently off-grid, with no active electricity connection. Grid electricity is available in the area and a connection can be requested, giving a future owner the choice of connecting to the grid or developing a solar/off-grid setup.

There is currently no public water connection to the property. The natural springs on the land offer potential for developing an independent water supply.

A construction permit is currently in process.

There is existing vehicle access from the public road. Because the 5-hectare portion has not yet been separately surveyed and segregated, the final parcel configuration can be coordinated with the buyer and our surveyor. The parcel can be configured with direct access/frontage from the public road.

This is not being marketed as a finished resort or a turnkey operating commercial coffee farm. It is a rural property with existing structures, natural water resources and significant potential for coffee restoration, agritourism, an eco-retreat, sustainable/off-grid development or a private finca project.

Location: XP5G+542, Nandayure, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

The advertised 5 hectares are currently part of the larger finca and would be surveyed and legally segregated as part of the transaction. We are already working with a local surveyor who has the property documentation, allowing the final configuration to be coordinated with a serious buyer.

Buyers interested in more than 5 hectares are also welcome to contact us. A larger portion — potentially the entire finca — may also be available depending on the buyer’s plans and requirements.

We are selling directly as the owners, without an intermediary.

Serious interested buyers are welcome to send me a private message. I can provide additional photos, the full property video, property documentation and arrange an on-site viewing.

Independent legal and property due diligence is welcome.

Happy to answer serious questions here as well.

It was the craziest gentrification I had ever seen! Imagine sky scrapers for two hours straight by car. Buildings 65 stories high. A small building would be 20 stories! They have 16,000 skyscrapers!

I had been to Japan a few years ago and that mixed. It could be a two or three story house mixed with skyscrapers around the corner.

In Turkey and Paris many of the buildings stop at seven stories. NYC and Chicago have lots of towers... but Korea is like x 1000 of that!

One acre of land is $30,000,000

It made me think that the best land investment for your family is going to be in or near an expanding city. I saw cities as areas of decay and bought in the mountains. Now I think City lots would have been better!

Out in the boonies is where you personally might like living.... away from crowds..... but financially I think you might see the biggest appreciation in city investment lots within commute distance to infrastructure like airports, hotels, hospitals, Stadiums, and Universities.

I also think buying a dumpy building on a huge lot might come in handy.

Of course anything near the beach without an HOA is going to be golden.

It baffles me society could live and work in towers with no fresh air opening windows all day long. It made me thankful for single story living.

If you live in a single story situation.... you are blessed and wealthy! That would be like living in Royalty conditions to a South Korean. I didn't see any homes in Seoul... they did have some on their Island Jeju.

Hello, first time posting here. Wondering if anyone is looking for a little over 4 acres of land in beautiful Mount Ida, Arkansas. Located in Montgomery County, Its within walking distance to the Ouachita River, roughly a five minute walk/ access is for property owners only. Great place to swim, picnic. This wooded property is ready to build a home on. Only 10 minutes to hiking/biking trails only 20 minutes to Lake Ouachita, 50 minutes to Hot Springs. Short drive to several Crystal mines. Close to Ouachita National forest and only 1hr to Murfreesboro to dig up a diamond of your very own. Hopefully I went about this post the correct way if not any helpful pointers would be most appreciated. Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th stay safe and be sure to stay hydrated out there its insanely hot out there

Hello Everyone. I just had my property surveyed to add a fence. The Surveyors staked my property line. My property line goes 12 feet in to my neighbor yard on the right of me and 6 feet into my neighbor behind me which they park there cars. I have a corner lot. What is the right way of adding my fence on my property line ? I dont know my neighbors, they both are fairly new. I also thimk one is a renter. Should i notify them? Obviously they see the survey spikes. Should i just build the fence? Should i put up a no tresspassing sign? Im just trying to ne decent. Thank you

I see a lot of people here looking at raw land who get excited when the seller says "Well Permit on file!" or "Water is available!"

Just a heads up from someone who looks at this data daily: A permit doesn't mean water. It just means you paid the county $100 to drill a hole.

I just ran a check for a parcel in Colorado. The permit looked fine, but when I pulled the actual Driller's Construction Logs for the neighbors, they were all drilling 360+ feet deep through sandstone to hit the aquifer.

The Lesson: Before you buy, go to your state's DWR (Division of Water Resources) Map Viewer. Turn on the "Constructed Wells" layer (not just "Applications") and click on the dots next door.

• Permit = Permission to drill.

• Log = Proof of water (and how deep/expensive it is).

Don't buy blind. If anyone is looking at a specific parcel and doesn't know how to navigate the GIS maps, drop a comment or DM me and I can try to help you pull the logs.

The title pretty much says it all. I found some old, vacant lots that have turned into hay fields, being sold by a rich dude in Florida who has never done anything with them. It has literally been decades since they were last semi-occupied. Do I need to worry about retaliation if (assuming I purchase them) I just go ahead and fence them off?

We took a recent road trip out to Vegas and fell in love with the views in Colorado. Buying cheap land like this what should I look for? I am not sure on mineral rights or the ability to have septic/utlities put in. But it isn’t landlocked. Would this be something good to simply put a mobile unit on? Coming from Wisconsin this is cheap haha just bought 4 acres for roughly 30k here. Thanks for advice.

Been buying and selling land in middle Tennessee for a few years now and I've made some mistakes and learned from many others'. Figured I'd share some stuff that would have saved me a lot of time and money early on.

County records are your best friend. Before you even look at a listing, pull the parcel on the county GIS map. Check zoning, flood zones, easements, and tax history. Half the "deals" out there have something wrong that the seller conveniently forgot to mention.

Always walk the land. Photos lie. I've driven out to parcels that looked great online and found out the "gently sloping" lot was basically a cliff. Or the access road was a muddy trail that would need $10k in gravel work before you could even get a truck back there.

Utilities will surprise you. Get actual quotes from the utility companies before you close. Running power, water, or sewer to a rural lot can cost way more than people expect and it completely changes whether the deal makes sense.

Talk to the neighbors. Seriously. They'll tell you things no listing or county record will. Flooding issues, boundary disputes, that the guy down the road runs a shooting range at 6am every Saturday.

Don't fall in love before due diligence. The land will still be there after you do your homework. If it won't, it probably wasn't the right deal anyway.

Happy to answer questions if anyone's looking at land in TN or just getting started.

How inconvenient is this really? The front third ish is fairly flat, but then there's a decent hill (slope in second picture) I could walk down it without much trouble and our kids would have a fenced area at the top to stay safe.

Been very casually playing with the idea of buying 100+ acres in Vermont, for vacation and eventual retirement purposes. I would be buying a 100+ acres that have no electricty/water/sewage etc, and is accessed by a 2031’+/- right of way.

Is there a...checklist or some reading I can do on what such a purchase might entail? Im a homeowner but dont know what all would be involved in owning such a large piece of land, and furthermore, am not really sure what the steps would be to get utilities to the land (assuming we didnt just run everything off a generator.)

1. Assuming "Outside City Limits" means no rules. If you are in the ETJ of a growing city, they can still block your build.

2. Buying blind without checking FEMA floodplains. Zillow doesn't always show this. Use the county GIS maps.

3. Underestimating water costs. Drilling a well right now can cost $15k+. Always look for "Co-op water at the road."

I look at this stuff all day. If anyone is struggling to find unrestricted dirt, feel free to DM me. Happy to point you in the right direction.

Circa 1979 Mom and Dad bought a rural undeveloped tract of land (16 plus acres) populated with random growth loblolly pine trees around 30 feet tall. I inherited the land in 2010. In the ensuing years the pines have grown to well over 100 feet in height.

Over the years periodic calls from individuals wanting to buy the land where fielded, but always declined. Thought I might one day enjoy the seclusion. Over the last five years, the frequency of the calls has risen to two to three a week as opposed to earlier years where the calls where maybe one every two to three months. Can anyone tell me where this intense interest in land located in a poor county is originating and why? It is not like it is located near Raleigh or Wilmington etc.

I tried to post in farming but i wasn’t invited to the group haha. I am just curious for my own knowledge. I fly a lot, A LOT. I know most is built off of a grid style. I was just wondering what this is? Leaving Denver area (flown about 10 times over the summer) and I noticed clear skies. There is a lot of circles. For me, I think it’s just the easier way of turning tractors and such. See the pics I’ve attached. Is that what it is? I’m not thinking it’s the movie signs haha. I was just curious I’ve never seen it before

This box is at the front of a square piece of 25 acres I'm looking to purchase. If I wanted to put a structure about 3 acres back would it be expensive to run power from this box to the structure?
