I didn't read the rest of the replies - I will after I post this.
You need to have some access to your property. If it is all land-locked, you would need to buy an easement to your property. This can be forced upon others if it gets to that, you get access to your property.
Typically access is on an existing public road that touches your property, or the shortest distance of easement to get to your property acroos someone else's propert - which you had to pay for.
So you tell us you have access to your property from a public road.
But you made an access road across some else's property because that was easier for you.
You did not say if you 'purchased' this road easement from the owner of the property at the time. Cash, trade labor, trade a tractor, or whatever - did you 'buy' the right to use that propery from the legal owner of the property at that time?
If you 'bought' the easement, it shoulda been recorded on the property deeds.
And you should have a right to use that easement - you bought & paid for it.
If you just went out & made the road on some one else's property, or only got mentioned in passing & you were allowed to make it but didn't actually buy that access in any way.....
Then you are a simple tresspasser, and you should not have rights to that property. If the current owner says get off, you get off. It ain't yours. If you put some money into it, your problem, why would you invest money into property that isn't yours? You already have legal access to your property, and don'thave any claim to this patch of pasture that you are tresspassing on. Doesn't matter what is conveinient to you, it matters what is _right_. You are not right to take other people's property.
As to your question, some states allow tresspassers to claim property if they occupy it for 7 to 20 years (depends on state). It can be a spendy, long legal battle, worth more than 30 feet wide of dirt is worth, and makes bitter neighbors for generations.
I sure wouldn't want to know you if you take this avenue, it seems a real low-life thing to try to steal from a neighbor.
Do I come on kinda strong? :) How I feel about this. I think every neighborhood has a land dispute in it, and it really shows the character of the people involved. I feel strongly that what you prepose is a very bad thing - stealing - unless as I stated in the beginning, you obtained an easement for this property from the original land owner at that time.
