Not close to correct in Virginia
If the owner ever uses it, the AP goes away. And it's 15 years.
From NOLO:
A trespasser’s possession must be 1) hostile (against the right of the true owner and without permission); 2) actual (exercising control over the property); 3) exclusive (within the possession of the trespasser alone); 4) open and notorious (using the property as the real owner would, without hiding his or her occupancy), and 5) continuous for the statutory period (which is 15 years in Virginia, under Va. Code Ann. § 8.01-236).
