Man walks into neighbor's yard, cuts down 50-year-old trees to improve his views [View all]
A woman on the vacation island of Nantucket is suing her neighbor after he allegedly walked onto her property and cut down several of her trees for a better view of the ocean — and the increased property value that comes with it.
The lawsuit accuses Jonathan Jacoby of using a chainsaw to fell 16 of Patricia Belford’s nearly 50-year-old cedar, cherry, and Leyland cypress trees.
Three weeks after he allegedly cut down the trees, Jacoby listed his home for sale for nearly $10 million, according to the Boston Globe.
Listed among the home's features: its "sweeping view of the Atlantic Ocean," according to the complaint.
When asked why he destroyed Belford's trees, Jacoby provided a terse response.
"I wasn't trespassing, I was clearing out her crappy trees," he told the Boston Globe in a single-line email.
