We have 80 acres surrounded by land that is owned by the paper companies. All of it is totally peaceful, with the exception of 1/2 an acre that was previously deeded to a handyman by the former owner. This guy has made our lives a living hell because we refuse to pay his extortionate price to buy his property.
He has a burned out trailer on the propertry, left as an eyesore just to irritate us. He has had both my mother & brother arrested for imaginary threats. He does everything he can to cause trouble.

We ended up building a 12 foot fence around his tiny 1/2 acre, and of course spraypainting nasty messages on the side that can be viewed by him. Essentially we blocked him in entirely with the exception of the access to the place that the law says we must afford him. We also planted bamboo all along the fenceline. The stuff grows like weeds and is slowly taking over his land.
