[quote=Rustico] . . . The original certificate of compliance was enough to get started w/o easements, which I finally bought two years ago. I now have access from the front and back of the 20 acres.[/quote]

Wow, wow, wow . . . what a layout, Rustico! :=]

Could I ask, did your property’s recorded “Certificate of Compliance” list a right of “open and notorious use” of a strip of an adjacent parcel of land that may have been possibly “grandfathered in” from long ago?

That’s awesome that you were finally able to purchase your needed easement(s)!

That’s what architects and engineers are for. Expensive, but often worth the cost.
