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.

At common law the owner of a landlocked parcel could avail themselves of several different remedies such as easement by prescription, easement by necessity, latches and adverse possession. The details matter such as how long the land has been owned, used and occupied. In some cases, landlocked parcels have remained unsellable because they were landlocked so long ago and access to the now nearest highway is over other land that does not share a common chain of title. In some cases a right of way must be purchased from an abutting landowner.
