I certainly wouldn't want the state telling me what I can do with my land. I see negatives to that option even if you could get through the loophole:

It's going to hurt resale value of the property.

No privacy, you don’t want bunch of bird watchers in your back yard (I have nothing against bird watching).

You will probably need to get every lot improvement approved by the state.

These are just a few off the top of my head, I’m sure there are many more negatives.


I wouldn't buy the property if you can’t build a house with the proper sf. Also you don’t want to come off as an a-hole to your soon to be neighbors. I would deal with the neighbors over the state

When I built my house one neighbor asked if they could still walk my property after we finished building. I certainly wouldn’t want them to have a right to walk my property.
