EASEMENT

In the scenic Gorge and Hood River Valley a view easement is a valuable commodity many landowners desire to own -- or sell. A view easement can restrict your neighbor from development and/or growth of trees that detract from or inhibit your view. While simple permission to clear trees is granted in many instances, in other cases this type of protection from view encroachment is purchased and sold. Solar easements are also available to ensure sunlight will pass through your neighbor's property unobstructed into a residential solar collector or energy device. The above types of easements restrict a neighbor's development into a portion of the airspace above their property. They can last anywhere from a finite period of time, to forever. As a potential seller of an easement you should seriously consider possible future scenarios before entering into such an agreement.
