You forgot to mention water rights too.

The thing is, such rights are at the end of the day, absurd. Such rights comes down to being able to exercise power to seize and hold land.

Did I mention in my original post, I talked about capital expenditure, and approaching zero expense? Land would be a part of that capital expenditure. Any ongoing expenses related to land would be the cost to hold land, whether that be through registering it with the government or to defend it against all comers.
