That's it.

As investment, I bought this, instead of stocks. Any ideas on what to do with it?

Location:

  • 75km (1hr) to a big international airport. Airport has direct flights to most EU capitals (2-4hr flights)
  • 50km to city center
  • 25km from nearest large residential area (500,000+ population)
  • 5km from massive organized industrial area (government supports factories here)
  • 35km from a rich residential area
  • 1km away from the village (its old and mostly depopulated) and animal husbandry area

Access:

  • There is public transportation, but one has to walk 1.5km after leaving the bus.
  • There is no direct road access to the land. You have to walk like 200m after leaving your car.
  • 1km road to here is non-asphalt and its a bit bumpy ride. When it rains, it gets bad here. It rains rarely

It is quite peaceful and quiet there. You can hear interesting bird sounds sometimes. You see no buildings, no cars and no humans anywhere near you when you're there, which feels great imo. You notice the air quality after you leave your car. I personally absolutely would want to live here for a while

Ideas

  • Trying to clarify this rn, but I think I can make $120-160/yr/decare from leasing the land to a farmer. Land is 25 decares
  • "Unique co-living opportunity with vegan food & yoga sessions" In other words, remote work / digital nomad village for people who want to work REALLY remotely :) I'd have to arrange electricity (solar panels and powerbanks), internet, toilet, shower, water, tents, mattresses/pillows/sheets, food, drinking water. (Though I don't know what people will do when they're bored here? Any ideas? Meditation would get boring after some point)
  • Sadly location isn't touristic, but it is 1hr flight away from extremely touristic areas. One of those areas, a city, was the most visited city in the world a few years ago.
  • I've met a few volunteers and they seemed quite willing to volunteer for whatever I decide to do here (if I do anything). For those unfamiliar: WWOOF and Workaway

Also- Any suggestions on where I should ask this question on the internet?

In the short term, leasing to a farmer isn't a bad idea. It looks like a lot of your tentative plans will take time and money, so a short term land rental might be a good idea.

Leasing it to a farmer seems like the obvious choice. I'm not sure digital nomads would be all that interested in working in the middle of a field.

I'd love to see land like this returning to nature with native vegetation, but that would take a really long time and doesn't come with an obvious path to making a profit. Unless you sell it to developers for a higher price in a few years, of course.

What about a campsite?

No yoghurt weaving digital nomad yoga shite.

Just a plain old campsite that people can stay on with their campervans, caravans, tents etc

You'd probably need a shower and toilet at least.

There are many people who want food grown in natural environments and where the animals are taken care of. A bit like Clarksons Farm on tv.

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Any zoning issues? May be worth splitting it up, lease some for farming for now, set up a couple of acres for a small utility/living area so you can visit and stay for short periods or permanently so you can get a sense of actually being there... Seasons, smells, sounds, wildlife, infrastructure like roads will all impact what the experience or opportunities actually are and often bday depending on the time of year.

As a yoga retreat site, what is your unique selling point? It’s a crowded market and that looks like plain old farmland to me. While peaceful and quiet, why would I stay there and not somewhere more scenic?

Ideas 1, 2, and 4 could come together with a permaculture food forest/farm. First task would be to cover crop the land to protect from soil loss and start replenishing some nutrients. Then, you have some time to make a good, phased plan of how you'd want to develop it.

Talk to experts and professionals whichever direction you take. They'll often save you much more than they cost.

Rewild it with native flora, do yurts and whatever to attract people to live in a sustainable way with community gardening. Activities can initially revolve around returning the land to a more natural state. As things mature people will invest in the community themselves, creating their own activities etc.

Create a startup in reasearch and development of fully autonomous robotic electrical helicopters with swappable batteries and shiny plush seats for the passengers etc.pp. Collect huge venture capital for it.

Don't forget to brag about your $1 salary!

Go broke after 3 years with a shrug.

Rent that land for some nice money to your startup as a test airfield.

Serious answer. A outdoor area surrounded by casinos. Walking/biking areas only. You'll need investment from builders. But you build it, they will come.

Try to grow fucks and then distribute them free of charge?

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Land is one of the few things you can just sit on and it's guaranteed to gain value, they're not making any more of it, as a matter of fact we're losing it to climate change with desertification and rising sea levels.

If it's farmable land I would rent it out to a farmer and make some extra cash, and if at any point you need some money you can always sell a few acres, otherwise it would be better than any amount of Cold hard Cash to hand down to any children you may have.

Is there water access on the property? Potential for drilling a well?

Without a steady source of water, farming is problematic.

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It has clearly been used as farmland already. And in most places where farming is common we could traditionally rely on rain, though I guess climate change is making everything funky.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

OP posted a rain graph here, it maxes out at 28% in May, which is not exactly a sustained growing season or reliable enough for regular crops.

Just because the ground has been graded doesn't mean it's been used for farming.

We really need forestland to bind C-atoms from the Co2 in our air. That would be the most heroic approach. Also wholesome since it creates habitat.

forest management resulting in slow money

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Looks like a whole lot of nothing. Farming is the only thing you can do if even that
