Not sure. He's not the most eloquent fellow, he said "ain't for sale" then walked back in his house
Sounds like a gem.
The in-laws wanted to donate the back end of their property to us 5 years ago to build a house on but the only access to the road was from their driveway. Thinking ahead, I was afraid of my wife's siblings wanting to sell their parents' house after they die and then I'd be stuck sharing a driveway with strangers. So we started looking at surrounding properties to buy in order to have access to a roadway.
We reached out to a neighboring owner and offered him $25,000 for a large chunk of his property but he angrily declined. He was an absolute a-hole to deal with.
One year later he received 2' of water in his house and he didn't have flood insurance. Guarantee he wished he had an extra $25,000 cash lying around then.
