I won my adverse possession case by default judgement. 70 acres worth.
Helpful neighbor!

This just proves why I want to buy 50+ acres where I don't have a neighbor for half a mile or more, and build on that. wow. And I thought our neighbors coming to us about an allergy to chicken feathers after we've had chickens for 4 years was bad.

Trust me 50+ acres ain't nearly enough.
No matter how large your property, neighbors are still right up against your property line

The bid to replace the fence was $3,500.00. But the court says she has to pay $3,306.66
. Now that bid was 3 1/2-years ago. What are the chances the replacement fence will be higher now?sixdogs

This whole thing really frosts my cupcakes. Can't someone do something to attach this woman's property or something to seize an asset and sell it for money owed?

I'm not sure taking her property is the thing to do but reassessing the cost of replacing the fence after 3 1/2 years might be fair.

My thought is at least 50-100 acres so I can't see their house (so my animals can run/fly around the house without drama) and sections bordering on stateland. I know people hunting/hiking could still trespass if I don't mark it well, or even if I do.... However they shouldn't be building anything on it. Or maybe find some land in the middle of a couple of large farms or other large landowners. Ideally some natural borders like mountains, cliffs or a river in edition to any solid fence we put up.
