Nice Missouri 5 acres on ebay

I also appreciate that you that took time to post this. I don't understand why some people choose to flame you with rude comments.


no matter how pretty it is, with those restrictions that property is a stinking pile of manure.



I wouldn't want this particular property because it doesn't fit my needs. I want 20-40 acres at no more than $1,000 per acre. The property has to be mostly level with a good source of water. I have about 90 properties bookmarked on realtor.com that meet my needs. I also like some of the properties on united country real estate and some other sites.

I quit looking for land on ebay because so many properties are being sold by land speculators that will use deceptive or even fraudulent selling tactics to move greatly overpriced properties.

Keep checking for land properties and if you find anything interesting, let us know. Of course, if you find something that I am interested in for $500 or less, send me a private message.

Some developer bought the land across the street from me, proceeded to notify everyone around here that we would have to comply with his restrictions because it would make his multimillion dollar subdivision hard to sell. I know of 10 of us told the guy to go preform some self pentrating gratification on himself, and that if he showed up on my property to try and force me to do anything, that he would be leaving in a body bag. I noticed the other day, its still undeveloped, and up for sale apparantly at a loss.

Just to clarify, I didn't rant because Becky posted this, I am sure there were good intentions. And honestly... I would much rather have someone who believes these are all good restrictions move to a place like this rather than next to me. We just don't have these restrictions, so I don't agree with them!

Absolutely no offense taken guys.

Some people like restrictions, some don't. (Those restriction looked pretty tame to me - but then I used to live in the land of southern California beachfront gated communities!)

I posted it because you never know what someone's dream looks like! Enjoy the day

A couple of years ago a small town in far NW Okla (Buffalo) sold part of their school on ebay....it is now a warehouse for teaching materials....A+ Teaching Supplies (or something or other)

I thought it was kinda cheesy at first that the school was trying to do it but it seemed to work out for the best!

I have to say that I am amazed at the hateful posts about this, I have a hard time believing that adults have written what I am reading, is there a problem here with disagreeing in a nice way? Or are ya'll just bored?

What do you do if it's something serious?

Property rights are the basis of almost all other human rights.

I think James Madison, Thomas Jefferson (who developed a beautiful property even without any zoning, imagine that), and George Washington would have quite the same reaction as many of the postings you see.

Face facts, if all these restrictions had been around when America was getting started, the country would never have grown at all. Somehow humankind has managed for some 5000 years of civilization to exist without zoning and deed restrictions, why do we need it now?

Must be where the phrase came from MAKING A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL

Makes one wonder what you ARE allowed to post on here WITHOUT being flamed for it.

The sky is blue??

There are always a few who have a problem wth being a pushover in life. The like to act "angry" and "Ritgeous" on message boards. There are always a few...Anyhow. This is called a conversation. It naturally drifts from topic to topic. The poster said she was not offended. So why are the "reitgous indignation" folks doing there thing? This thread took a turn to discussion of property rights. Nobody insulted the poster, and she SAID she was not offended. Why are there always some very angry/goofy people who like to find ANY reason to pretend to get upset on nearly all message boards??? I often wonder what the psychology of it is.


Seems they are the ones who actually change the tone from respectfull..to not. So lets please be grownups and conduct ourselves as such.

I don't think we do NEED it, it's just that lots of people don't have any common sense and will trash out their land and lower property values for everyone who takes care of their land. Anyone can have a beautiful place -Just like Jefferson!--if they want to take care of it but many folks don't. I have a neighbor who has had beer cans laying in his front yard for week. And yes, it's his yard and I really don't care but his kid plays there amongst the cans and if I look out my window I get to see his trash. And ya'll think that's ok? I would be ashamed of myself, but I guess it would be ok to you? Maybe you live with trash in your yard?

Who is making a mountian out of a molehill? Other people are the ones that responded so childishly. I simply said that the restrictions were not too bad and was attacked for it.

So I should not post because of some jerky people who want to live in a trashcan? Please...

If you are referring to me, I am not trying to be anything you mentioned and I think it's pretty rude of you to imply that. I simply said I didn't think the restrictions were very severe and I wouldn't want to live next door to a trash dump- I was then attacked for posting that. I figured most people on here would take care of their properties and keep them clean and wouldn't mind a few mild restrictions. Maybe many people here are trashy-I don't know.
How I changed the tone of this thread is confusing to me. I was just trying to point out that restrictions aren't all bad and they weren't that severe. There are places with no restrictions but the reality is that many people have restrictions on their land.
I am just amazed at how nasty people are over property restrictions when it's not their property and they aren't even looking at it...is it worth it to be so nasty over something on a message board? What is everyone trying to prove? I guess I thought people could discuss things without acting so childish. And blaming it on other people.

Well, that is sort of the idea behind property rights, as annoying as that is. I suggest a row of small trees. Beer cans or cars up on blocks are still preferable to a government that is forever trying to tell me what to do with my own private property.

I'm not really sure about the government part, I've never seen anyone actually enforce the rules around here. But aren't the people supposedly the govenment? I mean, the people who would enforce these things would hopefully be people living in the same place -neighbors who care about thier properties and quality of life? To me that just doesn't seem to be the typical evil government we hear about!

I do have some rose of sharons rooting as we post! They will make a nice hedge but that still doesn't stop his polluting the creek with beer cans. There is a creek right beside our houses. But then I don't believe in littering either.

Linda you obviously didn't get my post. I was saying that people are making too much of a post that was done as a innocent act. It had nothing to do with what you said. Frankly I would say that the posters that seems to think that NO restrictions should exist have never lived next to neighbors that can make a dump look like a flower garden.

Sorry starjj. I am just feeling a little, umm, under attack here.


I think maybe I just live near too many nasty, polluting, littering people! The area here is full of them, even in the little suburb we are in right now. It could be such a nice place until you look at how the people care for their places. The lady beside us leaves her trash can out, even tho they are supposed to be put away till trash day, I don't care about that except she never cleans it and it smells so bad that the neighborhood kids don't want to play oitside and the flies are thick around it-that can't be healthy. I filled it up with bleach water and left it on her porch. It also regularly falls over while full of trash and gets blown into the creek and my front yard. She never bothers to pick it up. A little code enforcement might be in order.

Other people in my area pay upwards of $20,000 an acre for their mobile homes and then put up fences that fall down and their animals get loose or hurt in them, they have barrels of goodness knows what rusting in their yard, the outbuildings they don't know how to make fall down and they just leave the pieces there to rot. I cannot imagine paying that much for an acre and then living so icky. Some of these places have more animals than they should and smell terrible...that's not good for the animals either. I don't think you can really have that many animals on an acre anyway...
Heck, I don't even mind a car or two but 20 or so on an acre? And the livestock are in the field with these cars that are leaking gas and oil into the ground?
Ok, stepping down now...just cannot see how that is ok...

Becky W, all you did was let people know about 5 acres of property, period. If they don't like it, then they can move on. Geez! people get all worked up over nothing.
Here is a house and 10 acres for under 50 grand with no zoning and only 740 dollars a year for property tax.. And I am in no way involved with this either. Look at it, call the realtor if you like it. If you don't like it, don't start a rant about what you like or don't like.

If I lived in a neighborhood/township/country... where no one was doing everything as well as me and wanted them to do everything I did, I would move, because obviously I am the one out of place.

or the other alternative...

I would take care of what I owned and do with it what I want and not worry about everyone else.

That's just my opinion.
