Selling part of yard to neighbor?

If they have a large new home, I doubt they need some cheesy "add on", OP. Maybe if generations from now, assuming they still want the property, or even live there.....so many ifs.

If you have acres of private land, why not? Depends where you are, however. Different laws, obviously.

Check your zoning, often it requires a minimum size lot.

If not an addition it could be a poolhouse, ice rink, zip line , etc.

Or gun range, graveyard, orgy-pit...

You could always grant them a permanent easement on a portion of your lot and specify exactly what they can and can't do with it. Just need an attorney and a civil engineer. This is America - you can do whatever you want.

Will echo PP that your bank will need to release the portion of the site from your mortgage, which will require a new appraisal and re-finance fees.

I would just hang onto the land. Why sell at all?
It's desirable when you sell your home.

Don't laugh. I am a real estate agent in Arlington, and the next door neighbors to a house built a large house that almost filled the lot. They tried to get the neighbors to sell their modest house to them so that they could tear down the house and have a decent yard. When the neighbors would not do it, the set up two trampolines next to the part of the neighbor's yard that has the patio, which they used often. It ruined their enjoyment of the patio.

Your plan is fine, but I would start first with your local jursidction's zoning office. They will tell you what is needed.

I would start a compost pile along the edge of the property next to the trampolines, and also install bright security lights.

Two can play this game.
