“a suburban driveway and there is a rural country so called driveway.”

Absolutely. And if a rural driveway is posted “Private Drive” and/or “No Trespassing” you better not go down there unless you absolutely have permission and business there.

My father couldn't legally put a gate at the beginning of the carriage lane or post it because it had been identified on the county survey plat.   Our farm house was a broken down falling apart antebellum mansion, That my father bought at auction in 1959 with 93 acres for $11,000.00.   The second story was closed when we lived there, with heavy visqueen plastic over the broken out upstairs windows.

The large mansion can be seen from the road, way off in the distance, through the trees.   In its rundown state it seemed to call people to snoop and possibly plunder.

There was one other abandoned antebellum mansion farther down the carriage lane and it had been held in a probate dispute for many years.   The estate had given grazing rights but the buildings stayed unused for at least fifty years until the house burned down in the 1980's.   The path of the carriage lane eventually made a great circle back to the highway in front of the Methodist Church founded by the builders of the two antebellum mansions.

Two owners after my mother sold it, have completely restored it.
