The answer depends on the details and the laws in your particular jurisdiction. Generally, if the owner owns a larger tract that abuts access they must provide access in most jurisdictions. If the parcel has been landlocked for a long period of time and the owner cannot provide access, a potential buyer may need to negotiate with abutters to purchase a right of way to the land. Also, a title examination may reveal an ancient right of way.
This is a complicated issue and you should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law before making any purchase of landlocked property.

Can you define the term landlocked?
Landlocked is property that does not front on a road and access can only be gained by crossing over someone else's property. The land is locked from legal access unless you have permission from another landowner to cross over their land. In many cases, landlocked property can have very little value and it might not be possible to sell the property to anyone other than a neighboring landowner. State laws vary but most prohibit the selling of land that has no access. If you contemplate the purchase of a landlocked parcel you should consult with a real estate attorney your particular jurisdiction.
