Landowner with question about ROW/Easement

bulgin · 2020-08-21T01:14:00Z

Hello. I'm a landowner needing advise in discovering a long-lost ROW or Easement and hope someone can give me advise. I have a 4 acre parcel of land which, because of its configuration with cliffs and topography, the existing logging road into the property does not qualify for a building permit. There is no other way to gain legitimate access into this property to build a homestead except through a neighbor's parcel or parcels. I have approached the neighbors and none are willing to sell or grant access. ?ÿ Now here's the interesting part: about 10 years ago a building supervisor for the town told me he heard there may be an easement into my property, but he wasn't sure. He has since left the building department and is unavailable. ?ÿ I have gone to the county clerk's office and followed the trail of this parcel back in time to the early 1800's until the handwritten deeds were indecipherable. Back to that point in time all of the deeds have the same acreage and description, which means I think, I need to go back further or adjust my approach. I'm looking for some advise and suggestions on how I can find this supposed ROW/Easement. My parcel must have been cut out of another parcel so what must I do to find that parcel/deed in which I believe an easement/ROW may exist, if indeed that is what I must do. ?ÿ Thank you.
