All that's been said about access is true, as far as I know. But considering it's 10 acres, I'd say there's not much chance of this ever happening. If something were discovered under the property, most likely a larger tract near by would be aquired in order to access whatever it is.

I had the same reservations years ago when the wife and I left CO for the NM frontier. We had the same issue with our property. Mineral rights are owned by a company back east. We did have an existing (grandfathered) hand dug well with water at 20 feet. We are a part of the local irrigation district and have shares and are meter owner with the local domestic water district. So we did pretty well as far as H20 is concerned. It bugged me not owned the mineral rights, but once I learned practically everyone else in the county was in the same boat, I figured "what the hell".
