Well you could, of course, translate it literally with "in the immediate vicinity of"... but I just wonder how likely that would be with a plot of land next to a road because "vicinity" can be a little vague in English - it would mean that the land and the road are close together, but not necessarily that the road actually takes you directly to it (it might run parallel to it, a short distance away - and presumably the original means it is, actually, right next to it?) I imagine the fact that it can be accessed *directly* via the drum de acces is being seen as an advantage.

My personal preference would be to keep it as simple and clear as possible by saying "immediately next to" - or you could use another expression commonly used with roads, "just off".

"The Best Western Heritage Inn is located just off the service road..."

"The College is located on the left, immediately next to Oxford Networks..."

Actually "just off" might be a little colloquial for a legal context... "immediately next to" would be the better of these two options, I think, in this case.

As a final afterthought, you could consider "adjacent" instead of "next", which probably sounds even more "legalistic", but grammatically this would be a little inaccurate as it cannot be an adverb, unlike "next" (still commonly used, though).

The amusing thing about "immediate vicinity" is that it is a common euphemism used by estate/travel agents nowadays: if a house is described as being "in the immediate vicinity of shops, a school" etc. then it's a fairly safe bet they're at least a good couple of miles away! Other "estate-agentisms":

"deceptively spacious" (=smaller than it looks)
"with original features" (=hasn't been renovated in years)
"charming" (=tiny)
"sought-after location" (=remote and inaccessible - so sought-after the previous occupants want to sell up)
