I own a piece of land that I have been using/and spending money maintaining a "gravel access road" that runs about 50 yds. FROM a town road, THRU a pasture to a corner of my property.
I have bees using this access and maintaining it for 11 years. There have been 3 owners of the pasture where this "road" runs during the past 11 years.
I have had no problems, but have heard from neighbors that the current owner may restrict me from using this "road" in the near future.
I have access from another town road to the property, but for convenience reasons have been using and maintaining the "short road route".
Some neighbors have told me that because of the length of time I have used the gravel road and because I have put money into maintaining this road, that I have the "right" to continue using it regardless of what the current owner of the pasture says.
Anyone have any input on this, I would be interested in reading your thoughts.
Thanks, Tim
