I want to build a fence on some property and have a few questions. The legal description is South 1/2 of NW 1/4 of section 30. The property across the road is a full 160 in the legal description and has corner markers in the center of the road on both ends. First question - the new property is listed as 78 acres and not 80, which seems to be common for parcels of land, why is that? The second question - When measuring 1320 feet from each property marker on the road they overlap about 9 feet, why is that? When measuring from the South marker, the line looks to be right on the assumed line (old fence) but when measuring from the North marker the property line is about 9 feet south of the assumed line. Would you feel comfortable building fence in same location as old fence under these circumstances? If I build fence straight neighbor on the North would gain about 25 feet in middle as my field follows the old fence which appears to drift onto his property according to aerial map.
Any ballpark figures on a survey of an 80 acre parcel with a road east and west lines and fields on north and south lines?
