Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

Real Estate Laws

We recently purchased a lot in a subdivision, and after we closed on the property, a month later we were notified by James City County and the builder about a sidewalk/bike path that is to go between our lot and the lot next to us. This was never disclosed to us or the owners in the lot next to ours. What legal right do we have, if we would have know this prior to buying the home we wouldn't of purchased the home. What can we do.
