Single Family investment home landlocked with no easement

There's a landlocked property I'm interested in purchasing; it's a good SHF, in a decent location in the path of progress and requires cosmetic upgrades, but is in pretty decent shape. However; it's landlocked and has no easement or access to the road. You have to drive on a dirt driveway which is a part of someone else's lot (vacant owner). I know that legally I can make a strong case for access to the house, and the price for the house is very good! But I'm watching the seller continue to drop the price, and I'm sure it's because other potential buyers are hesitant of the easement also. I've tried contacting the lot owner many times with no response. Is there a way to provide a driveway or other way to solve this problem? Just from observation, I don't want to buy a property and then be the person struggling to sell it in the future because of the easement issue.
