A develоper purchаsed а 60-аcre parcel оf wоoded land and divided the parcel into 20 three-acre lots. The developer advertised the rustic character of the lots and the intent to sell the lots for development as single-family residences. This was in conformity with the zoning restrictions on the land, which required that the land be used for residential purposes and that the size of each lot not be less than two acres. Over a period of several years, the developer sold 15 of the lots. The deed for each of these lots contained the following provision: This deed is subject to the condition that the property may only be used for residential purposes and may not be subdivided but must be sold in its entirety. This condition shall be a covenant running with the land and shall be binding on all owners, their heirs, devisees, successors, and assignees. The deed for each lot was promptly and properly recorded. The developer, facing financial difficulty, sold the remaining five lots to a land speculator. The deeds to these lots did not contain the character and size provision that the developer had inserted into the other deeds, nor did the speculator have actual knowledge of the developer's advertising related to the character and size of the lots. The land speculator, acting in response to a zoning change that reduced the minimum permissible size of a lot to only one acre, has obtained governmental approval to divide each of the five remaining lots in thirds and is now offering the 15 lots for sale. An owner of one of the three-acre lots has brought suit against the speculator seeking an injunction to prevent him from selling the lots in less than three-acre parcels. Can the speculator successfully defend against this lawsuit?
