What is the name of your state? Michigan

We purchased our house approx. a year ago and in the signed documents allowed an easement to run through a portion of our property. This easement gives access to 14.65 acres of land behind our house. The owners of this land behind our house are the previous owners of our house. This land has now been put up for sale as splittable. When we agreed on the easement through our property we agreed that it would be for the access to the land with only 1 house to be built on that land. The only wording that I find in our easement agreement is that we agreed to an easement.

What are our options to not allowing access to multiple houses being built using this easement behind our property?

From what you posted, you have no options. Post back with the exact wording of the easement as it appears on your deed.
