WIH, Yolk Sac gave you some good advice. The trouble with giving someone a easement is that you forgo any profit on the property forever. A strip of land like you need (30 by 550 ft.) can be planted with 165 pines on a 10 by 10 spacing. They mature here in 32 years. You can see why easements are not given easily. Even if you win in court you will have to pay a sizable amount as the law gives the landowner the full value of his property forever. The electric company can force a easement by eminent domain but they have to pay a fair price for the ROW. It is to bad you did not buy your property from the bank as the seller can not landlock the buyer in most states. It is only money but I had rather buy fish bait then pay shysters. GOOD LUCK!!!!
