A lot of people move to a rural area to avoid the drama of the city.

But sometimes, you get even more drama out in the country and passersby are not necessarily respectful.

See why this new homeowner is frustrated about the baggage that has come with it.

WIBTA if I blocked off access to my land that locals use to access trails

My husband and I recently bought and moved into a new house that has 3 acres of land.

The land backs up to a river and is one of the main things that made us want to buy the house.

Then it stops looking like paradise.

At the closing, the previous owners let us know that some neighbors will cut through our land to access trails in the back and are walking through our yard for a good portion to get back there.

Some people take their dogs while others like to go four wheeling back there, which isn’t allowed.

It turns out, it bothers me more than I thought it would.

I don’t like that they didn’t come ask, and it’s much more in sight than I realized.

The situation is too much to handle.

When I look out in my yard I can clearly see them. The other issue is I have 2 dogs of my own who get riled up when they see other dogs in their yard.

I’m also 38 weeks pregnant and want to make sure I feel safe in my new home as we’re about to welcome our new baby.

So, WIBTA if I blocked off the access point on my land that has a trail that leads through our yard for locals to get to other trails in the back?

Here is what people are saying.

Yes! Why don’t people think of this?

Small towns can be strange that way.

Definitely don’t, but you don’t want to make enemies either!

Would this help, though?

I’d be furious if I didn’t learn this until after buying.

I don’t get why people are like this.
