Our club property has an easement delineated on the plat for a mining company who owns the lot (landlocked) behind us. A kaolin company from NJ. It's at the far edge of our lot on the county line so we simply do not use that 100' wide stretch along the boundary.Just to jump back in here, seeing some of the (not so) helpful comment.
An easement does not give up any ownership rights in the land. Practically everyone on this forum benefits daily from an easement to one utility or government agency or another.
An easement can be limited in scope (who can use it, when it can be used, what can be used on it) and duration (a certain period, during someone's ownership of the dominant property, someone's life).
Timber companies routinely obtain (pay for) temporary easements over adjoining property to facilitate a harvest. One occasion I know of was on our hunting club, across an adjoining landowner, to obtain access to a landlocked tract, which the esteemed members of the ODT bar will tell you does not exist in Georgia. Think of it - a temporary easement to a landlocked tract - ODT minds must be spinning.
The mining comoany has never used it to build a road.
