I guess there’s no escaping a holes. Is that even allowed? Totally clear cutting 17 acres?I bought another 30 acres right down the road from where we live last summer. It's in land use, so taxes are nothing.
A beautiful piece of land with a small trout stream. My dream to have.
I month after I buy it, the old fart next door that has a 17 acre contiguous tract next to mine, calls to let me know he's clear cutting the 17 acres. Initially I'm like WXF??
I express my serious concerns since most properties up here in Maine only have a meets and bounds deed.
The big oak tree over by the small pile of rocks, down the hill to the creek bank...that kind. Absolutely worthless.
This is the type of deed shared by both properties.
I send him a certified letter with my concerns, he won't accept it.
He calls and says he's having his daughter and son in law using a phone app to delineate the property lines. I still have serious doubts
SO now the battle begins. Timber trucks going by at 6am pulling the jake brake acting like a retard. Of course my Presa's react on a hair trigger, and go ape sxxx!
Temperatures rising and the possibility for a real conflict is rising also.
FYI, timber up here is BIG business. Someone cuts a bunch of your standing timber, and you're talking thousands, probably tens of thousands of dollars of pinched timber.
My lot is entirely forested with mature and soft and hardwood.
Had to call Maine Forestry Service, have a ranger come out, inspect the job-site and open a complaint.
Meantime I'm paying a surveyor $6K to survey the entire property perimeter. Had to be done eventually anyway.
The sooner you get on and record illegally cut timber stumpage for evidence the better for evidence.
The story continues....
Will update.

I always thought it was aliens that made those stone walls in the woods.Not what he said at all. No translation missed. Yes he can harvest his lumber but where does his land stop? That’s the problem. Vague boundaries. Lived in Maine most of my life and his description of markers is funny but familiar for old plots of land. Piles of rocks and stone walls have been piled there for more than a couple centuries in some cases. Natural and man built anomalies get accepted as markers.
