This is in Alaska.
When we bought our house, our neighbors on one side made it clear that they were going to put an offer on it and we just did it sooner.
We bought the house because it was private, and secluded, and then a couple years after we move in (in 2008), they came into a LOT of money, and decided to build a 2nd house on their property (I don't even think they got permits for that). In the process, taking away EVERY little bit of privacy we had. They not only BUILT the house but made sure it was FACING our property and yard, so we now have 0 privacy. Their kid will stand at the edge of the driveway and take pictures of my little children! It's disturbing! And a few months ago the "wife" came down to the house and told my husband we should MOVE.!?!?!
We no longer speak to them, but I was recently going over the paperwork from when we bought or house, and it came to my attention that they built the driveway to their new house partly on OUR LAND (at LEAST a few feet all the way down the length of it).!!! I don't CARE what they do with their land, but they ripped out all the trees and now there is nothing between our house and theirs.!!!!
WHAT can I do about it.??? I want my trees back.!!!
Can I SUE them and try to get some compensation to plant some trees ourselves?
Can I somehow FORCE them to plant LARGE trees between the properties to try to gain my privacy back?
How long do I have to take action?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
