Can you put a driveway through a power line easement?
We’re currently looking at 45 acres. A few acres off the road there is a power line easement running completely across the property dividing the land. My question is can we put a driveway through the easement to access the rest of the land. I know we can’t build anything on the easement. That’s not a problem as we want to utilize the back half of the property. Them using the easement to access the power lines isn’t a problem either. My main concern is if we’d be able to put up a driveway since going through the power lines is the only way to access the rest of the land. We do plan to establish an equine boarding facility on the back half of the property. What are the pros and cons to having power lines run through the first bit of your property and living that close to the lines? I’ve attached a picture of the property where you can see how the power lines run through the first bit. The property line does not touch wire rd so accessing it from there isn’t an option. We’ll have to access it from the hwy side.
I forgot to add the lines are above ground. We just found the property so we haven’t received further information on what all the easement entails yet.
