Nothing has happened yet. We are still talking about what we want to do with the land, and what our expectations are.
Something that's come up is that he is interested in buying the land, but he hasn't made an offer, and I'm not really interested in selling right now. But my long-term goal is to sell the land. I don't need it, I don't enjoy driving an hour to get there, and I don't have any time to spend there.
The neighbor has a lot of land. I'm not sure exactly how big his place is. I've been told 1,000 acres, and I've been told it's over 2,000 acres. And that he has another 600 acres somewhere else nearby. The only reason that I can figure that he's interested in my 40 acres would be to stop anybody from developing it.
And to be honest, splitting it into 5 to 10 acre parcels and building a house on each parcel has crossed my mind.
The challenge will be in knowing when to sell and not missing out on an opportunity if it happens.
