    Knappster's Retirement Property

    So some of you have been following my retirement property search and final purchase on some other sites. We did close in June and know own 4.46 acres in Oregon.

    We ended up buying next to a neighbor that isn't very pleasant. The day I purchased the land she met me at the fence and told me I could not drive on my own driveway, we are sure she is wrong but of course now we are in a legal battle over land issues that we had hoped to avoid. It appears that the person she purchased HER land from told her that the driveway on OUR land would not be used by the next owner (US), not sure how he thought he had the right to tell her that but now she is certain that we cannot use our own driveway so we had to hire a lawyer to tell he what's going to happen.

    Lots of great photos of the land to follow.

    Crazy neighbor... oh boy. Does she have 47 cats to go along with her?


    Be sure to have a B-I-G barbeque your first Saturday there. If she asks what you're grilling (because I'll bet she's a vegetarian), tell her, "Spotted Owl."

    If that doesn't make her faint dead away, offer her some - tell her, "It tastes like a cross between Bald Eagle and Condor"...

    Did you buy title insurance?

    Have a surveyor come out and confirm the property lines.

    I had something like that when I first bought my last house, just had the Realtor take care of it under the fact that this was not disclosed when I bought the property. The Realtor used their attorneys & got it straightened out very quickly.

    Let me know when you move out to OR, its not far south of me & I can show you TSF where I go wheeling in OR.

    The other neighbors play their radios REAL loud to annoy her too.

    My lawyer is filing with the title insurance this week for them to sort it out. The property lines are not in question, she just does not want me to enjoy the full use of what is mine.

    Yes, my existing driveway on vacant land (it used to be the driveway to the house on the original 15 acre parcel, when they split the lots that house put in a new driveway down the road).

    You're about an hour and a half from my in-laws. When do you plan to be moving out there?
