If property is "landlocked"--that is, there is no way to access it because it is surrounded by other properties--you can bring a legal action in court for the court to create an "easement" by "prescription", or a right to cross the surrounding land created by necessity. If you want to explore this option, consult with a real estate attorney.
But you can only do this if landlocked. If you don't currently have road access but could access a public road by building a private road across your own land, you have to do that.
