Lots of places, they wouldn't even need eminent domain. Not sure what the situation's like in Brazil, but even in the US with its unusually-strong notions of what "owning land" means, trying to do cute shit like that is often not allowed, for obvious reasons. Easements are A Thing. You might get away with it if no-one with resources opposes you, but if they do, you're likely to lose in court.
