If you own land that has no road access or legal easement, it presents a major hurdle to its usability and to determining its value on the market. In simple terms, a landlocked property is a piece of land with no direct access to a public road. The land is surrounded on all sides by property owned by others, and the only way to get to the property is by crossing through a neighboring property. Landlocked property owners have several legal options to obtain an easement and gain access rights.
In this video, Par Porter, with RecLand Realty, talks about his strategy to pursue an easement, through friendly negotiations with his neighbor, a timberland company. Before entering into negotiations, his plan is to clearly define his needs and objectives regarding access. As Pat explains, having good relations with the surrounding landowners can make all the difference. Sometimes, all it takes is a friendly conversation to get the ball rolling on a more formal agreement.
