Even though we built our cabin in the woods on 10 acres, we are technically in "a development" complete with a POA and yearly POA fees. TO get to all of our properties we have to traverse the first mile of our gravel road through National Park Service land. We have deeded access through that land. However when it came time to run city water from Fort Payne Water Authority to all our properties, the water company had to run the water about another half a mile east down the mountain on 35 and then turn back up the mountain and back up to the part of the road that we collectively own and maintain.

I'm assuming we did it this way, because The Park Service wouldn't let us run the water across their property on our deeded right of way. The power to all of our properties is not run along that part of the road either.
