Been here for twenty years and everyone around us has six to ten or more acres, comfy living. Well there is a developer buying the golf course and intends on putting 460+ houses and we'll end up paying the city taxes. My pond is fed through the creeks naturally running through that land. The closest neighbor is already trying to sell his land and moving to the beach. What do goats? I like it here.
A friend of mine is a birder and would check out a bald eagle's nest somewhere in Florida. Builders wanted that land but the nest was a problem. One day the nest 'miraculously' disappeared. It was incredible timing; almost as if it was meant to be. Fucking assholes got their permits to build not long after taht.
Well, there is the option of getting those neighbors together and fighting that. We all know that will be difficult if not a waste of time and money though.
Other than that you can only sell. The decision then is when to sell. It'll take time to build that thing so you'll have some peace til they start construction. And when to get out for max money is a consideration.
You can stay I guess. It depends on a lot of stuff though. It'll obviously mean more traffic and noise. Depending on the details of construction that could be minimized. But you're right up on the edge of the thing. And then there's the pond and if this thing will mess that up. Probably.
You may be far enough away for the residents to not make an impact on your life noise-wise. Go to their meetings and find out if they'll take down many of those trees. That would really suck.
Fight it in city/county council meetings. A low income apartment complex that was proposed just got absolutely slapped down in my town recently. People weren't having any of that shit.
If it passes and construction starts, start taking potshots at construction crews while under tree cover.
Sucks man. My little neck of the woods (which really did used to be woods) has been getting more and more developed over the years to the point that now this area is where everyone wants to live.

The first choice is to fight or not.
