Here it is. We have been in Jasper Co. club for over 30 years. 545 acres. GA power line is our border to neighbor club. They were here before us. In January it was revealed that owner had sold their land. We share same owner group. As expected this was very hard for our long time neighbor. They had deadline dates for removing EVERYTHING back to natural except existing structures. All cleared out now.
During this clear out I was able to meet sellers Family member rep. He was helpful enough to answer many questions. Related to our property these were his statements before several witnesses;
1. No changes North of our shared powerline. Our property.
2. New owner was to put it in conservancy as mostly timber.
Was reassured at the time but now we see different. Note that I as president of club, have attempted repeatedly to talk with new owner regarding boundary issues and just being neighborly. I tried through seller family rep and seller realty company. No response.
Now, new owner has cut in approx. 8 or more survey lines for parcels. From gravel road hundreds of yards to and across power line. Survey stakes cross power line to our side.
Recently I was contacted by seller real estate co. He says new buyer reached out to seller who reached out to him to report some of our stands on powerline were now on his property and need to be moved. Some stands are not portable. These are on our side of powerline with at most two legs on clearing. This powerline is critical for transit, deer recovery and general enjoyment of lease.
My question is, do property owners have rights on a utility easement and essentially cut off access. Was I decieved. Note that dues went up this year $1090. Same as 2019.
Thanks,
