Watch their reports on RealVideo. Larry and Lynda Moses were smitten. As newcomers to this equestrian town, they envisioned someday owning a horse and relished the prospect of having immediate access to miles of public riding trails. I really feel I was swindled. In a complaint filed with the state's Department of Consumer Protection, the Moseses allege that Toll Brothers misrepresented their lot as abutting the Collis P. Huntington State Park, when in fact it borders private watershed land owned by BHC Company, a regional water utility.
Toll denies any wrongdoing.
And BHC, which has owned the land since 1916, bars the public from its environmentally sensitive property. But the Moses's anger at Toll doesn't end there. Two years before it sold the couple their house, Toll Brothers granted a bridal path easement through the lot to the Newtown Bridal Land Association, a local equestrian group. The easement, a ten-foot wide mulched path that runs the length of the Moses's property, allows association members to cross the couple's land to reach the adjacent woods. The Moses's lawyer, Daniel Shepro, notified Toll of the border dispute and was assured that the company would investigate the matter.
