If there is no formed track (but vehicles do use it) then I would think that highway=track or path, surface=grass, visibility=no, low, etc. and access=private, otherwise landcover=grass would be fine in my opinion. OSM is not a town planning serves it, it does not contain zoning codes or laws so why should it contain easements? Further to this, easements are a lack of ground structure (due to an underground, overground, or planned utility/road), therefore not having anything mapped on top of them would not cause a problem (and the eagle eyed may think there is an easement there)
