You are missing the point. He did not build the house solely to punish you or extort money from you. If he built a wall that blocked your view and then demanded $30k to remove the wall, that would be a similar case.

He's not demanding, and he's not just offering the removal of a wall. He's offering land, for $30K, and no one has to purchase it that doesn't want to.

He did not build the house solely to punish you or extort money from you.

So the laws should be written to determine intent? Kinda like hate crime laws?

Pappy, your moral compass is right on target when it comes to this guy, but I don't trust a bunch of people with guns to always make the right decisions about such things. It's a bad path to go down when we look to government (or personal violence like some of the goofier people here have advocated) to govern such things. Caveat Emptor is a better way for people to conduct themselves and societal shame and shunning is a better way to deal with these kinds of goofs.

There are ways to resolve this without violence IMO.
