In this part of the woods, I doubt if the owner planted the live oak. 
Probably purposely avoided cutting same.  Original part of the property.

I'd be happy with such a tree.  If its blocking your view of a the
panorama, 
consider it a tax break.  Undoubtedly, part of your property tax has a
view 
as taxable.

Seen on some educational TV channels moving large trees to other locations

with specialized equipment for that purpose.

Unless you have a holy mission, like viewing a ****, don't bother cutting

the tree.

Anyone can cut down a tree.  Not anyone can plant a tree that will
continue 
to grow.
