When my great-grandfather immigrated to Bermuda he bought the land which is now the Belmont Golf Course. The owner of the Belmont Hotel was very interested in the land.
He offered great-grandfather a generous sum for the land but he was not interested in selling. Each time the hotel owner increased his offer and each time great-grandfather refused. Finally the proposal was one he could not refuse, however, my great-grandmother said a definite "No!". She loved her home and would not move from it....so the hotel owner's only resourse was to agree to build them a duplicate of their home on land which pleased my great-grandmother. That was acceptable to her, so the hotel honored their agreement and built her a duplicate home.
So it was a win-win situation for all of them....the hotel got their golf course...great-grandfather's wealth increased significantly....and great-grandmother was still able to live in her dream home.
