In Pennsylvania. purchased 135 acres in 1989 with a township road entering the property in the middle of a property line and going into the property .2 of a mile. road did not touch anyone elses property. It was vacated in 1989 shortly after we purchased the property. we own a nudist camp on the property and privacy is important. our back 35 acres was a part of another piece of property that was seperated and sold in 1880. the 1880 deed makes no mention of an easement. it says sold with all rights, ways, appertunances and a few other things. forever. the present owner of the now landlocked parcel has filed a suit to come through our property over the vacated road and into the property another .3 of a mile to access his property. the now landlocked parcel was owned by someone from 1925 to 1950 when the now present owners parents purchased it. when they purchased it in 1950 the owner at that time had another parcel that connected to the landlocked parcel and he sold the connecting parcel to someone else. the purchasers of the landlocked parcel never visited the property and after they passed away the son now wants access. he says because his deed states his land starts in the middle of a highway (now our land) and even thought the deed later excepts the land out because it was sold in 1880 that is his legal access regardless if the 1925-1950 owner used another parcel for access. needless to say our business would have to cease and the privacy we enjoyed would be lost forever. one more little thing, the lawyer who did the title search and said no easements existed is now the lawyer suing for the easement.
