- In this video, I show an example of a great piece of raw land that is technically not landlocked but has an extremely long and rough easement access. This parcel has become practically useless.

I grew up in those mountains and seeing the scenery at the end of the video left me choked up and homesick to no end. You can take a boy out of the mountains, but you can't take the mountains out of the boy. I could almost smell the forest. I miss home.
I spent time there visiting my grandparents every summer as a kid. Love that area of the country
I love filming in West Virginia because of the hills and woods. I own 105 acres of flat land in Ohio. The problem with my land is that water lays on it half the year and its too expensive to correct.
I love your land survey talking about the pluses and minus of the properties. Keep on keepin on Troy!
The gas company probably has a bank snowed about the land value, so is more valuable to the gas company as collateral than sold at it's true value.
I hope you get that land, it’d be in better hands & loved.
Fellow West Virginia here, people just don’t really understand how crooked our roads are.
This is exactly the same deal in SE Kentucky. But people are still flooding in from out of state and buying. Just finished 100 acres where someone spend a lot of money building a road to access just like this video
Good video, when I purchased my land in Southern West Virginia (Summers County), the big factor was making sure that the right of way that crosses another farm was deeded and signed by the farm's property owner that the road was in fact established right of way. I also looked at several historical maps to make sure that the road was in fact an established right of way for over 100 years. I hope your able to purchase the parcel for a reasonable price.
I love these videos you have to be the light of my day I’m looking into buying land at some point for my retirement just not in the bulk your showing I’m interested in maybe 25 or 30 acres strictly for camping and hunting eventually a homestead ty sir for what you do it’s very educational bless you 🙏🙏👍
This videos are my favorite. Looks like a beautiful peace of land.
Thanks for sharing!
Sounds like you should be adding it to your homestead....and then you addressed it at the end of the video, lol. Could you lease it cheap?
Have to admit, I like the isolation of the property and solar orientation.
Really enjoying where this series is going.
If you can get there in a POS Chevy 4x4, that means you could pretty much get there in anything. Probably even a Prius. :)
My neighbor of many years bought am acreage that was land locked but had two easements. One was off of a neighbor's driveway and the other one would have been across another neighbor, both required several hours of bulldozer work and a couple of 6' culverts to cross a seasonal creek. Neither neighbor liked the easements and one went so far as to put up a gate and fence across it, and kept it locked making my neighbor to make arrangements any time he wanted to go in. Like you pointed out some of the problem is how the typography is, not one of neighbor's and the easement access.
If someone blocks an easement they are breaking the law. You are legally allowed to cut the lock. That's how it works in va anyway.
I would rather see Utility companies keep the land they have and let it be natural than to force Easements or force people off their land. Great Info as usual Troy. Thank you.
Something that you probably didn't consider is someone asking for a right-of-way AND a right-of-parking. Using an ATV to travel to their vehicle might get old quick, and while rare I have seen that arrangement take place a few times.
I got me a nice old 450c John Deere dozer to make me roads on my land. I’m near Portsmouth Ohio
As always, intelligent conversation. Thanks
In do time May be a good addition to your property keep a close eye on it.
I enjoy the land talks very much. I think I missed my calling and should have been a surveyor. In fact, I discovered your channel while reading about rural property boundaries. They are a mess in my state too. The county records are poor and they don't seem to care as long as someone pays the taxes each year.
That happens every where
Always enjoy you walking, reading the land, and talking about it. I do the same thing with my son. Keep these up.
Well, I have spent just about half my day watching your videos. Worth it. 🙂👍🏻
Great video and explanations!
We’ve finally come to the realization to not consider the possibility of buying property near us. If it happens it happens. Both in our last and present locations we were told we could have the opportunity to purchase, but once pushed it was ignored or a crazy high price was put on it. Finding a place with enough space to begin with is key.
At 11:13.... that is a beautiful sunset!....edited from here.... the drive home.... “go West young man go west...”
Hopefully you will be able to add that parcel to your land.
Here in S.C., one would sell off some of the timber so the timber company make a roadway to it. Our land is, of course, much flatter. Its unfortunate for the land owner too, to have such a property that cant be given away.
13:17 a peak around the corner at the beauty of God’s art work! Great!
Sounds like it would be a really nice place to camp,hunt and maybe put a few goats on it. Although at first I'd probably be tempted to use it mostly for recreation. To bad the gas company won't play ball.
I hope that you can Add that 35 acres to your property sounds like a good addition to your land.
Write a letter asking the CEO to sell it to you; and do it once a month. Remember Shawshank Redemption Andy wrote for years and finally got a library for his prison? If not seen the movie the idea worked. They sent crates of books finally and said please don’t write us again! (Or hire a lobbyist to figure out their sweet spot. They know the weaknesses and strengths and the CEO.)
Great report. Find a shrewd dirt lawyer and claim the parcel as yours through eminent domain. The sooner you begin harvesting timber off the parcel the better. It's your land Troy.
Beautiful! Always a great need for a cool area in August!! Good job!
Could be great for someone who is so "green" that they REALLY wants to go back to basics and own a mule & cart for access.
But ironically they'd have to buy a gas company to get it 😜
I would like to see a video of the pros and cons of West Virginia State/Homestead
I really like your real estate videos, thanks.
I enjoy the land talk.
You should ask them if they would let you do a no cost or reduced cost lease of the property so you can use it. They may also entertain an option lease so if they do sell the surface rights you could get first dibs. What gas company is it?
what price is that landlocked parcel compared to the surrounding land?
How do you find properties that have been timbered and have Wright aways with them.
I wonder if they would be willing to lease it to you, seems like it could be a win/win. They retain their rights but allow you to run animals, thin the trees, and improve the property with maybe an option to buy if they ever do choose to sell it. that said, I'm sure you have plenty of work on yours so it might not be good for you.
Man I live about two hours north of Houston Texas those city Slickers will buy anything, he can’t touch a piece of land anymore of that size for less than about 14,000 an acre now.
TROY, ya know,.... If The Lord wants you to have it,.... you'll own it! It can happen.
Thanks for your knowledge.
Beautiful place for sure!
Perfect location for remote campground or solar farm.
nudist colony?
I live in Spokane County with an easement road that gives me the only way in or out of my property. Who is responsible for the bridge that is failing? And can you own an easement road?
great video
Cool, interesting video! Thanks for posting! :)
Nothing like a JEEP
Or a VW Beetle 😊
Lovely video. Thank you.
Corporations will often hold on to assets like this. They keep them on their books at their highest value for loans and financials. this is also why you will see entire bank owned subdivisions here in southern California. it is worth more to the banks to keep them as assets at the value that is owed on them then to sell them and take a loss.
I am looking at a 200 acre parcel of land. Now I did what you suggested and walked as much of the land as I could. Access is easy and paved up to the private road. Loads of local amenities like grocery store gas station garage and so on. Problem that I am having trouble with is the locals use the wooded area for all sorts of recreation such as ATV, Camping, Dog Walking, Motocross. There are parts close to the trails that are a complete mess. Garbage all over. Things like can plastic and broken glass (beer bottles, coke bottles etc..). Now the land has been unattended for years and people have taken liberty with land. If I purchase this land what can I do? Can or should I stop access? The price is right but the random people walking around worries me. Any advise?
Great video ! Even with a tough access, I gather the land today is not for sale or for a possible lease?
Not even with chains?!! What if I had a better truck like a Ford?
Geographical oddity, two weeks from everywhere.
There is property I own that the county build a bridge and made a road with out a easement is there anything I can do about this the county would not even talk to me about it now some people bought this other property after the only house on it burned three years ago I don't want the bridge there and they refuse to move it is there really anything I can do thanks
As that old movie said, make them an offer they can't refuse.
Thank you for the video
There is a rule by me if a road hadn't been touched by a county road crew in 30 years it is subject to no longer being classified as a county road. I knew people who successfully gated off a former county road due to that rule. They ultimately lost because they blocked access to a national park, however.
I would be interested to hear about the value of the land and the wells the gas company owns. If they need to keep inspecting them why sell the land? To me, this is a great reason why mineral rights should be something the landowner keeps. In ND they lease the rights, to the explorers. (and you need to keep claiming those rights)
General question just because I don’t know but if the county has not abandoned the road are they not responsible to maintain it to proper travel? If the road was private or abandoned then I could see what you are saying b
Technically they are. In actuality they don't. No one wants to sue them over it.
Have you had your Drone up to look the property of the 35 acres.
odd question. I was looking at moving to the Beckley are, would I be expecting the same topographical, hilly sort of land?
Beautiful
So I wasn't really understanding just who owns the land... a gas company, or a private owner with a gas company easement? However, with all the issues if/when it does go up for sale, it might be at a great per-acre price. What would it have to get down to for you to buy it ? That might give viewers an idea of what a piece of property like that might sell for.
Gas company owns it. It would have to be less than $1000 per acre to make sense for me
Any Springs on the property.
So what about the mineral rights you were talking about gas rights underneath the ground do you get the money for that or do out right get the money that how does that work you own the land but they got the right to it..
Be grateful for limited services. It is maybe the last deterant.
I am looking at buying land in west virginia. Can you give any tips or what to expect?
Looks like a good piece of property if you have your own helicopter 🚁
You should add the land to yours.
What generally speaking does a person need to do to legally establish and easement to access their locked property? I have 14 acres behind my family's land and I will be developing it into my homestead.
I am in South Carolina.
At the time the land is transferred to you, an easement can be granted from “your family” to you the new owner. The easement can be very specific or general.
If you have already received title to the 14 acres, an easement may be drawn up and then recorded in your county clerks office.
@@HarrisonCountyStudio Otherwise known as a DEEDED RIGHT OF WAY
So just buy it and make it yours. Easy! Best deal for you.
Ok, so I just heard you talk about their unwillingness to sell the surface rights.
Just low ball them. They'll come around.
Ok, I just saw the shots at the end of the video and it is an awesome property. When opportunity knocks..... well, you know.
I have relation in West Virginia. Vest Brothers Funrnal home.
doesn't the natural gas easement only good for the gas company
Nothing permission and a bulldozer couldn't fix
How do you find out who owns what land?
Each state has a GIS mapping system. Its shows property lines, owner, sale history. In TN - tnmap.tn.gov/mobile/assessment/
You can't rely exclusively on the online property lines. Because the angle of the satellite will throw it off some.
I don't see the problem you just have to buy the gas company.
Would the easement be easier if you own it. If you get it you can pass it to Me.
So before I finish. Either you’re buying it (fingers crossed) or you’re getting neighbors with a helicopter. Win win
Dang it. Shot all that down lol
With a Chevy you will walk 11 months out of the year !😂
I would rather walk 11 months by owning a Chevy than walk the entire year by purchasing a Ford, personally I prefer a Nissan Xterra SE, they are even better than what is said about a Timex watch. Have yet to own one that made me walk other than to and from the vehicle to travel.
Why purchase when you and your neighbors are the only ones that have realistic access. Why pay tax on land you don’t need to when you can use it. I grant that the uses would be limited but wouldn’t they be if you held the deed ? Unless of course you’ve got plans to buy a helioclapter !
Why should try buy it, he basically has use of it for free.
Dont underestimate the power of money, someone will buy it and dozer that road clear and build a house back there.
who ownes the gas company.. CCP ?
Well if you're looking for a place to drop out of society and get back to nature it's perfect.
