Agreed. So thankful to be the recipient of 6 previous generations of men who 'hoarded' land:laughing:
OP- you sound like a gracious and patient neighbor. You deserve a lifetime of peace with the people around you.

I see my nearest neighbor about 2X per year. Their house is 4.5 miles away by road. He is a cattle rancher and is too busy for much socializing. If I can/could see a vehicle from my house - they would be trespassing. Easy situation to resolve.

We all have our issues. Kind of nice that your neighbor politely asked you to do him such a simple favor.
Hi all. I’m glad others are seeing a neighbor relationship go well. He may indeed come back with another request. I’ll worry about that then; for now I’m just going to enjoy having a neighbor who takes care of his property and is friendly. I ‘ll stay friendly and be a good neighbor just because that is who I try to be.
He really is a kind-hearted guy. He had two pit bulls that were well trained and kept on his property. They got a couple of cats to control the rodents. Yup, the dogs got hold of one cat and injured it. His wife and kids were very upset. He quickly re-homed the dogs. I’m convinced he is a good guy at heart. And he certainly is a lot better than the previous neighbor.

Neighbors... LoL!
My neighbor story is about land, I have 10+ acres, my neighbor has 22 acres, he decide to build on his property, where you say..., right on the extreme corner next to my property, house facing my driveway, approximately 75 feet distance. My first thought is WHY did he put his house here ?
When they built and moved in I explained I wanted to remove a small uprise in the land between the properties, it would give him a better view of the road when exiting his drive and I would get some decomposed granite (DG) for road repair; the next thing I know there is a fence up and over the uprise of land. I asked about what was going on and he walked away from me... where's this going !?! I almost took down my Side of the uprise and if the fence fell so be it but I made it look good and got some DG so I'm ahead... a little !
He then starts using my driveway to access the side and back of his house, I asked him about it and his response was the people we purchased the land from said it was a road and we could use it as needed. I explained to him it was my driveway (1/4 mile long) and I don't appreciate anyone using it without asking permission. His response is that it was in the property deal, so I said it again that I didn't give anyone permission to use this driveway, please do not use it. He has a back gate but refuses to use it because the approach is too steep, fix it.
He has since stopped using my driveway and hasn't spoken to me since... not a bad thing !
He sees me repairing the driveway, wet winter, dirt road, big ruts, and I have a stock pile of DG, he asks me if I will not only let him have some of the DG to fix his yard but his driveway too. I asked him how he would get it IF I were to give him some, he wanted me to bring it to his drive and yard and wanted me to spread it. I explained to him my position about if I break the tractor fixing his road and yard, what will I do for my road all he said was, "Come on that thing won't break" ! What happened to the no talking to me thing ? Remember this guy has 22 acres of land, a lot of dirt out there to use, you just need to dirt it up !
Next with the wet winter comes weeds, big weeds and many, many weeds. I got the brush hog going and ran it down the side of the driveway, the neighbor comes out and asks if I can get closer to his property so it won't look so messy... PITA ! I got as close to his fence that I could, cleaned up that section, and left ! Next time I am down in that area he comes out and asks me if I intend to trim along the fence... man WTF is going on, I told him no I am not trimming along his fence, I didn't put the house on top of someone else's property and so I don't intend to clean up. I told him to please feel free to clean up along the fense where I couldn't get, about 6 to 8 inches, but he says it is my property and I need to clean it up... I just told it wasn't going to happen and left.
This neighbor didn't even trim up on his side of the fence, not sure if he thinks since he put in a fence both owners would do the upkeep and if he is too lazy to clean it up himself, to make his house look better, then I can't help him.
Now every time he is outside and I come by in my truck, he walks the other way... what was that old show... "People Are Funny" !
I take my trash down to the road yesterday morning... and the neighbor is talking to two of his friends, he is on his property and his friends, people I know, are on my property, no problem there, but he was too lazy to open his gate and either let them in or walk out to talk to them. His property around his house is all fenced now, 22 acres and his house has a fence about the size of a small football field with three gates, and friends have to come on my property to get his attention so they can talk through the fence !?! I am coming down the drive he sees me, waves me over and asks with his friends present, if I was going to trim the fence line, I told him outright, not to hold his breath, I got as close to the fence as I was comfortable with and if he wanted to make his house look better he should trim both sides of the fence because I wasn't going to.
I expect the Fire Marshal to come by and tell me I have to trim his fence, (a California THING) I'm thinking maybe I can just pull it down with the brush hog... no I wouldn't do that... !
I guess I am the bad neighbor here, I'm guessing someone will tell me I should just help him out but I'm thinking the list of things to help out with, would get longer REAL FAST !
I've been wanting to talk to someone about this neighbor and get it off my chest since he started talking to me but as I said I am the bad neighbor... I guess !
Thanks for reading, I needed that !

Scrambler- glad you got it off yer chest:laughing:
Man alive- you mean you have 10 acres, he has 22, and his best idea was to build his house 75ft away from your driveway? How far is his dwelling from yours?
People ARE funny. I just hope I'm not one of them...

I am above his property, and back aways.
If I am sitting down on my front porch, I can't see his house, so maybe that is a good thing !
If I stand I can see a little more than the roof and the only thing I can hear, when the wind is blowing my way, is the dog, so that too is ok !
But as you said, WHY did he build so close, my first thought is he didn't want to put in a longer driveway, but that isn't too bad... just don't expect others to maintain your property for you !
When the house was done, the wife and I went down to talk, never got asked in, just stood there... ok, some people are like that... and we didn't move out here to to be around too many people... !
I just needed to talk about it with people that don't know me; my thoughts wouldn't get back to "THE NEIGHBOR", LoL !
Now I'm going again... he wants all of the neighbors on the road, with Tractors, to fix the main road... his words, they can't expect me to do it !
The part in front of his property is not maintained by anyone now (2 years), it was before he moved in but the guys that did it say, "he can do it now", not sure what happened there.
The neighbor complains his wife can't get in with their car with the road in that condition... "buy a 4x like everyone else" !
My wife had to get a new car, (the VW Diesel thing) and she got an all wheel drive version of the car she liked... why because sometime you need it, its like a Road Grader, Brush Hog, Box Blade, you don't need them all the time but when you do, thank God !
