How deep does my property go?

311 views

I have a house on 2 acres. I know the length and width of my property, but what about depth? If I dig 1ft down am I still on my property? 5ft? 1000ft? A 2 acre rectangle all the way to the Earths core? How deep would I have to go to no longer be on my own land?

For answers like “down to the core” I’d argue that maps aren’t drawn with the center of the earth in mind. So you’d have lots of crossing lines between properties because the earth is not a perfect sphere. Think of 1 person who lives on the top of the volcano and owns straight down but people all around this person own property that directly points towards his property underground. In answer to your question, as far as you can physically and legally defend it.
