One concept to contrast with the American system of private property ownership and rights is the "freedom to roam" concept which exists in some Scandinavian countries:

In addition, I think, even in the US system as it exists currently, property ownership rights are not 100% absolute. I mean, even Zuckerberg couldn't declare his new 700 acre holding to be, say, a toxic waste dump, or a launch pad for outer space rockets. He'd need a whole lot of government approvals to use the land in those ways, and he most likely would never get the approvals.
Land rights and usages are not absolute, even for the title bearer.
