About 4o years ago, a developer bought a large chunk of land from my grandfather and built a bunch of the 5 acres mini-estates-with-room-for-a-horse that were popular. Grandpa kept the peice of land that his house and well-drilling business was on. The new buyers must have seen grandpa's place when they drove in past the elegant new gates. He dug their wells. But they apparently thought that he would either be forced to comply to the neighborhood rules or be forced to leave. He did neither and they had no way to get rid of him or his equipment. When he finally retired, the country squire-wannabe's paid him nearly half again what his property and business were worth to get that land right outside their entrance gate and to make sure my uncle did not keep the business there.
