Thinking some more..wanting you to avoid attorney fees...
Have the neighbors make their low ball offer in writing...
Laminate it and post it in the house saying to buyers...
Our property is so desirable to our neighbors we have gotten low ball offers. However, their game plan is they are sabotaging future buyers by lying about the area. Ha! They have been served with registered letters to cease and desist. Otherwise, they are fine neighbors and we never hear a peep out of them. Can't blame them for trying.
I thought of this as well. But then wonder if someone wants to buy a house where, regardless of what the neighbors area saying, the thing is they are nasty aggressive people. And I'd have to think about whether I wanted to buy near such people.

Are they mowing YOUR property for you since you are not living there? I would stop that immediately.
They absolutely are the biggest hindrance in the sale of your home now that you have dropped the price. They seem like the type who would escalate if you had a lawyer contact them though. Tread carefully.
Instruct your agent not to refer to them in any way to prospective buyers, and have your agent accompany anyone who wants to "walk the property." You need a witness and an advocate.
DO NOT trust them. If they have keys, change the locks.
Screw them, they're sabotaging your sale to buy your property cheap.
Inform them that if you cant sell it you're considering leasing it to the city for a halfway house to get people back on their feet after prison. Do this in passing.
They will most likely then reconsider their actions.

Exactly. They might take it by adverse possession.
It is best to avoid the neighbors, but prospects need to be warned about them just in case.
Be accommodating, and ask prospects to come back at different times to see if there is really any noise.

Thank you for all of the helpful replies! I did contact the neighbors this morning and told them if they can find a way to have the lot lines reassigned then we will consider selling them the back portion. So they went to the county building today to find out more information. I haven't heard back but hopefully we can find a common ground.

Yes this is my thought too. I would be pretty turned off to a property if the neighbors were causing trouble even if it was because they wanted to buy it.
