We've just bought a lifestyle place ,a house on 1 ac , ther'e a 500 ac property running beside it .
True to form , that farmer , only one of 6 other farms he owns I'm told , has the driveway into his property , along my 1 ac side fence. I mean , he owns 1 1/2 kl of roadside , yet this is where he has his driveway , along my 1ac's side fence.
No one lives there but they come and go , usually at 5 or 6pm on a Sunday , Sat' arvo , trucks, tractors quad bikes, again true to form .
This was the only drawback when we were looking at it and that side is mostly treed out and on the opposite edge to the house area anyway , with the shed also in between. Also in the 5 or 6 mths in coming over while we were getting the finance sorted , never once saw anybody use that driveway anyway.
So we figured they must only come over now and then to check the place and it should be right.
They've been cutting across the edge of my nature strip with trucks over the yrs and I could see that so I've started planting that corner out and putting in a rockery to stop it.
It's a beautiful little spot , one of the nicest areas of the property.
Low and behold we're sitting out front last night and he pulls up , waltzes in and proceeds to tell me that I couldn't plant out the outer edge of my nature strip , because he's trucks would run over it getting in and out. He then goes on to try telling us that he use to help out the old lady that lived here before and that I'll "have to" get my big trees taken care of before they fall down - this is all without even introducing himself mind you.
Well thanks very much mate - whoever the hell you are but I'll take care of my own trees thanks very much and if I need advice I'll get it from a landscaper not a bloody farmer .
I mean here's a guy that owns probably 20 million worth of farms and he's waltzed into our little old one ac place , totally unintroduced telling us what we have to do and that our outer strip of our little 1ac is in the way of his 500 ac , so I'll have to right that corner off , cause it's in he's way - wtf
Needless to say we didn't take kindly to some moron waltzing in totally unannounced and telling us what we can and can't do .
Anyway I said the garden bed and new trees stay mate and if your trucks run over it they'll have to repair it , it's within my boundaries , you've got 500 bloody acs, 1 1/2 ks of road side and what you strut in here like this and start telling us we have to do this or that with our own property and that you also need the outer edge of my little 1ac because it's in your way too ?
Needless to say that was pretty well the end of his visit and he leaves mumbling to himself, I can see your gonna be a hard bloke to get along with .
Hmm , why would that be exactly , because he can't just strut in, start telling us what to do and get his own way !!!!!
So what are my rights with the end of my nature strip anyway , does anyone know ?
I mean we don't want any bs , we just keep to ourselves neighbour wise , live and let live but that was bs !
Cheers
