After several months of trying to get code enforcement to clear us and not getting any response from there end, and escalating to a superior who apparently did nothing, we considered the matter closed.

I got an address for it, cleared some land and hooked up electric.

So I suggest really being clear about the "why" and the "what to expect" to keep these inevitabilities in perspective. 

Sell the house, clear the decks, get a job, start fresh.

I will create 6 residential lots that I will be able to sell off and then, ideally, own the remaining property free and clear or close to.

Clears in 400's.

Just include a lot of info about your company with clear calls to action without overwhelming the reader and you'll be fine.

I'm not sure, because what you get is not a clear title but a quitclaim deed. 

Should we sell the property when we leave and cut our losses?

Makes total sense to me. before this whole situation I had presented them with a written lease that clearly outlines the rules for visitors. i.e no more than 5 days in a row no more than 20 days per year...
