    I would suggest that the first step is to contact the owner of the other property to let him know what you're going to do. At some point, the wall crosses the line from your property to his, and I'd imagine that you have no legal right to tear down the wall on his property. You may need to hand disassemble the wall along the property line at a minimum, to ensure you don't have any impact on the "not yours" property, should the other owner not be amenable to a tear down (or not locateable).

    20m/60+ feet high? This sounds rather in the realm of hire competent (and insured) help.

    The lower edge of my roof is "only" 6 meters or so. Its a long way to the ground from up there, still. Brief use of large equipment by competent operators to knock this down (and then you can make the choice of cleaning it up from a safer location yourself, or exploiting the equipment more) would be a good deal safer than creative DIY "knock-it-over" schemes.

    This seems like a perfect opportunity for sledgehammer jenga. Loser gets an ambulance!

    The local laws might not permit the demolition of old structures such as this, may need a permit first.
