This is sort of like the nuisance dog post.
This used to be 40 acre farm. Before I bought house a fellow buys most land, builds a huge house. He gives his daughter/husband 1/2 acre & build nice house. So we're in the middle on 2 acres in old house. We're all friends, it was bliss.
Couple years ago old fellow dies so daughter gets it, decides to sell big house and land. I should have bought it all...but I don't need 2 houses and my wife didn't like that great big house.
So... I bought 10 acres, professional people with 2 kids buy rest. At first it seemed fine, it's fenced, quiet, all's well.
Then they get dogs...always barking. I mention in a nice way, it stops for a week, now back. Couple days ago I see a road being put just over line up in woods!?
Today...Sunday...the country quiet is gone. Trail bikes, ATVs, people yelling, cursing up in woods. It's 2000ft+ from our house but it's LOUD...and ALL day.
I just finished having horse stable built, our first horse will not graze far from barn (noise). We've been here 40 years and I tried making it our dream place, garage, house, etc.
Amazed these are professional people. It's bad when your homeplace becomes he'll.
What can we do?!?!?

First thing I would do is get a copy of your township, town, borough whatever laws and know exactly what is and whats not permitted at any given time.
I had similar happen to me and found my neighbor was well within his rights to be pretty much a big A-hole and I cant do much about it.
I was able to stop one of my neighbors from renting his back yard out to illegal immigrants to use as a landscaping business. :laughing:
Then video anything they do outside of what is permitted. Calmly explain to them the township doesn稚 permit a paddock to have overhead lights on past 11PM or whatever they do that is bothersome. If he gets angry, walk away. Call the zoning officer and explain to him what is going on. He is duty bound to stop any/all zoning violations. If that dont work, keep running it up the flagpole, always being a calm gentleman.
