Want to buy 10' of neighbors yard and build a fence

What about an easement? "an interest in land owned by another that entitles its holder to a specific limited use or enjoyment; also : an area of land covered by an easement".

I always offer a lease when I detect an adverse possession claim.

It clears up the confusion.

What is the lot size? If you want to go10 feet into his property, and the total is 100 square feet, it sounds like you want a 10' by 10' parcel. It sounds like one of several things is occurring here: Either the lot size is 10 feet deep, your estimate on the total square footage is off, you are looking to build a pen of some kind, or I am missing something (quite possible)

I guess I don't have anything constructive to add to the discussion. I am just trying to determine what you are looking to do. It looks like some of the answers are based upon the idea of a fence running the length of a property line. With many lots, it would only be 1 foot or less into the proerty line to equal 100 square feet.

Lots in my neighborhood are 60x100 (6000 sq feet) and go for about $20,000.

I'd sell my neighbor 100 sq feet for about $8,000 dollars and he pay all the costs..

I know that is kind of high, but the smaller size makes it much more expensive, plus it does devalue my home by about that much.

I'm dead serious on this.

It does depend upon location (doesn't it always?) and bits of land can be expensive. Our condo association wants to buy 125 sq.ft. of land next to the condo building to add porches. It would take land from a designated pedestrian walkway. The owner is asking $14K based upon recent lot prices. Unfortunately, according to the tax records for lots and buildings in the area, that's a fair price. :(

Yes, location is everything. Co-workers's dad sold a piece of land that was about 30 by 40 feet for about $ 700,000. It just hapened to be at Myrtle Beach, SC in a high dollar area.
