What is the name of your state? CA
Many years ago this property was purchased out of a very large block of land to build a water front home on small acreage. The owner retained a 3ft x 180ft strip of underwater “land” that stretched the entire length of this property's waterfront at a depth of 6 foot.
Due to continued county maintenance and silting over the last 40 years, this “underwater” land is now above water 50% of the time.
We have maintained the water front (above and below water) as well as walked across this “property line” to access the water for decades.
Is there any way to encourage this land owner to sell this strip to us or get a formal easement so we can continue to cross the property line and access the water?
What way can we protect our property value for the future so people do not think we are blocked one foot away from the edge of the water when they review county records?
