Isolated 1850sqft chunk of my property, how do I make money with it?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Isolated 1850sqft chunk of my property, how do I make money with it? (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 4/8/2019 12:40:36 AM EDT

Due to numerous property issues created by a neighbor/previous owner, I have an isolated island of my property, approximately 1850 square feet where the neighbors access road cuts through my property (no legal easement currently, and not in compliance with the easement they incorrectly wrote for themselves

).

For the past 16+ years they've apparently maintained this area and have told at least the person I bought the property from that it was actually their property.

We're currently in the pre-lawsuit stage over the property lines, my recorded survey/tax assessor/title to my property says they're all fucked up, they threatened a lawsuit and adverse possession. I need to find something to do with the unused island that'll put some money in pocket to help pay the lawyers. If its irritates the neighbors, I'm okay with that also.

Its a straight shot to the main road on a private paved asphalt roadway.

Ideally something turnkey, renting it out for boat or RV storage, etc.

Looking for ideas I havent thought of yet.

Weed farm (if legal in your state).

Nothing like a field of sticky icky to piss off the neighbors.

Project car storage would work too.
Or round up all the cheap/free trailers that you can find on Craigslist and stash them there.

You could rent the space out for "yard sales" and farmers markets stands and used cars and make parking seem like it should be ... somewhere

Can you have chickens?

How about roosters?

I think a you-store-it lot is the best bet

Turn it into “the” corner - throw some trash on the ground, add some graffiti, a street lamp, and a couple of lot lizards to hang around it. Red Light District.

Why not move the access road straight across and reclaim where it used to angle at...

1850 sf would be a pretty good sized hog pen.

I would put a trailer on it and rent it out to the trashiest people I could find until the neighbor drops his adverse possession claims.

A developer local to me did something similar when he was finally going to develop his land into some townhomes. The neighbors had thought that it was never going to be built on, and when he went to the zoning board they all showed up and demanded that the project be stopped and somehow they won a temporary halt. When he asked one resident next to it, what they wanted to see built there the asshat replied "a park". Furious he decided to have a trailer put on the lot. And then gave free rent to the trashiest family he could find. After one year, they came begging for him to remove the trailer, and build whatever he wanted so long as those people and the trailer were gone.

This was my first thought....

But who doesn't like a good angry neighbor thread?

Make sure a toilet is involved somehow.

1. Get some barrels
2. Purchase spray paint and this stencil:

3. Redecorate barrels
4. Install as you see fit on your new Superfund site.

It sounds like they are trying to assert through adverse possession.

You need to go post signs on it tomorrow. Do the other suggestions in this thread tomorrow.

Toll booth shack. You don't want the structure on the road where those new fences are.

Your diagram is useless to this effort.

Where are the buildings, roads, septic fields and wells (if any) and what is the topography of both yours and their land, these things are necessary in order to determine if the easement could be elsewhere.

Also, why don't your neighbors understand that stealing your property, through whatever means, will cost them everything they have?

Why don't you sell it to them?
Unless you want it for some reason.

It's easy to get caught up in being mad but maybe you can make money instead of everyone paying lawyers.

Fence it and build compost and mulch piles.

Egg shells, citrus and banana peel will add minerals to the mix.

Plant sun flowers if you want to increase bird crap droppings...

They have a strong case to take it from you. I think it's 7 years for adverse possession in Missouri.

I like the beehives suggestions.

Posted: 4/8/2019 5:59:26 AM EDT

[#43]

Beehives, or grow corn.
Remember the guy who trolled his HOA with corn and his Corn page?

I'm sure the neighbors would LOVE row after row of 6ft cornstalks. Fertilize with the stinkiest shit manure you can find. Sell junk corn. Or let it rot in place.

Just remember with the bee hives, if you plan on using the honey and they have a pollen source on their land they can fuck you over with chemical useage on plants.

It sounds like they had a strong case against the previous owners. The clock would be reset when Op purchased the property and it appears he knows it's his and has made them aware of it. Adverse possession isn't as easy as people make it out to be.

Do I have this right.

Because the road dissects that piece of land and it’s close to his property he has decided it’s his.

You now have to pay lawyers to keep hold of this and may lose it just because there is a road on your property?

I’d use it to build a killdozer.

Stick a hen coup on it.
