Neighboring Property Keeps Being Cited As Reason House Won’t Sell

Card image cap

Location: North Carolina

House is 3 years old and we have added a fence around our one acre property. When we purchased it new we were told 4-5 houses would be built next to it and instead we got an excavating company that has semis permanently parked, pod storage, and piles of rock and gravel with trucks in at all times of the day and night. It is important to know we are in a rural area without land restrictions.

We have had our house on the market since October (its listed currently at the price we purchased it at) and every single showing has left written feedback saying they love our house and property but won’t make an offer because of the neighboring property.

My questions are:

How much evidence would I need to have a case against the neighboring company?

Would a case be worth our while financially?

UPDATE: Thank you everyone for your responses. Doesn’t seem there is much we can do and I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
