In Québec, if you own a property, it's yours, and if you choose to block access then it's your right. There are only a few exceptions to this. In some parts of the province, there are still some people that get their water from a public well. If the well is on private property, the property owner has to allow access to the well. The well, and the path to it, are appropriated by the province and do not belong to the owner.

Well, around here we have what is called easement rights, giving us the right to cross our neighbor's property. The lovely AnnaS and I couldn't get to our house without either easement rights or a long slog up a steep hill and through barely penetrable woods.

purlieu ... how did it arrive at its current spelling?Circumlocutions, I suspect, Etaoin. It wore a path in the vernacular.

When we had a rural property in New Zealand, our water came from a spring that was on our neighbour's property. There was a lien on the neighbour's deeds to that effect (dunno the legalese here, so don't shoot me over the words). This was an absolute right. Effectively we "owned" the access to that spring and the land over which the pipeline ran (about 15 metres from our boundary). It also meant that we could fence the spring itself off (which had been done by a previous owner). Since we did NOT get on with our neighbour, I'm glad there were no problems with the spring during the three years we were there!
