Oil Pipeline Right of Way

We were talking to someone just a few weeks ago about this, she owns a small market not too far from us and her house was out in a wooded area behind the store.

Well, we just had a large pipeline installed in our area and it was destined to go behind her store. She had some negotiations with them and wasn't comfortable with what they were offering, She told them she would like to own the house up the road and would need enough to buy it. Now mind you she had a small parcel that her house sat on. The oil company went with her to the property that she was talking about and they ended up buying the house and a large amount of acreage with it and deeded it over to her as compensation for her place.

If you are looking to move and possibly upgrade to a larger piece of land, you never know..............


Actually that was one of the options my wife and I talked about.

In my meeting with the company rep, I did let it be know that we were not against the pipeline and that they could bring it right through the house if the price was right. LOL
