Report this transaction on Sch D.  If a primary residence you may be entitled to claim the Section 121 exclusion (500K Joint or 250K single)

Why would you burn up that exclusion for an easement?

Reduce the basis of the property in the amount of the easement.  If payment exceeds basis, you have a gain.  There is no IRS form for showing this accurately, so to play "Trick the Computer," put it on Schedule D with the cost equal to the payment amount.
