As in, is there a possible scenario where the appreciation of the value of a property could be greater than the mortgage payments on that property?

I don't know what you mean by "offset a mortgage" but certainly the appreciation could be more than the mortgage balance. All that means, though, is you now have 50% or more equity in the house.
Say you buy a house with a 100% mortgage for $100k. The house appreciates the next day to $200K. You now own a $200k house and have a $100K mortgage, so you have 50% equity in the house.
If you're thinking that somehow the mortgage "goes away", that's not possible (unless you sell the house and pay it back, of course).
If you mean could the appreciation be more than the interest paid, then yes that's possible as well. If you pay 4% on a mortgage but the value goes up 5% then you have a net gain of 1% (which also is not realized until you sell the house).

Possible? Certainly. That's how some people are able to make money by flipping houses, i.e. buying a house, perhaps making improvements, and then selling the house a short time later for a higher price which covers the cost of the interest payments, improvements, and a profit. However, if the local housing market goes against you, you can end up owning a house that is worth much less than you owe on the mortgage.

Certainly. As a case in point, I bought my house ~10 years ago with 50K down. The mortgage payments are $850/month*, so $102K paid over 10 years. Outstanding balance is $83K, so the total is $235K. In the current market, it would sell for around $350K.
