Something like this happened near my home in Pennsylvania, a few miles down the road.

A family bought a plot of land that was zoned or deed-restricted for farming.

They built a house on the land - a farmhouse!

A local "conservation" group took them to court and got a judgement against them and the county razed their house. Who hasn't heard of a farmhouse on a farm!

Well these conservation ninnies (or I should say Nazis) didn't like it and found a judge to buy into it.

If the deed restrictions said no residential development, how is the group or county wrong for enforcing a written contract? The problem lies with whoever was bribed by the conservation group to grant the conservation easement on his land.

Any idea what happened to this man and his family?

And do you know if the deed restriction specifically forbade residential construction?

Sounds similar to what the Clearwater Conservancy has planned for Central Pennsylvania.
