One thing I learned from "the dawn of everything" is that societies have had diverse approaches to property over the millennia. And I've seen that it varies by country and region, even today.
Anecdote: My family went on a walking holiday in England. The entire country is crisscrossed by a network of walking paths. Many go through private farms. The same thing is rare, or even nonexistent, in the US. We were told that although we're allowed to use the land, there are certain stipulations, such as taking care not to damage the crops or disturb the livestock.
Here in the states, my family "owns" the land that our house is on, but with a variety of limitations.
