No Stupid Questions

Couple ideas:

1. Sit on it. It'll just passively build value over time
2. See if any cell service providers want to setup towers. They provide passive income as well, monthly

make real life whiterun from skyrim. i saw land for sale as a kid and that was my only plan if i had bought it

For now? Lease as much of that land as you can. Cover crop the rest. You do not want bare, tilled soil sitting there for a year+ as you figure out bigger plans.

No answer here, just wanted to say you inadvertently wrote one of the most interesting geolocation challenges I've seen.

I had a family member who owned land in the sticks. He said you can earn a passive income letting a farmer use it. He let a guy bail hay to sell.

Meanwhile, sit on it for 20-30 years. The land multiplied in value many times over. Eventually, it got sold to a development firm to build multiple neighborhoods after the nearby city continued to expand in that direction.

Step 1, dig big hole, step two, become one with tge ant people, step 3 never see daylight again

Hemp and No-Till see what works afterwards but it's a market call what you plant! That's my understanding. Maybe you could do something like Lavander though?

How close are you to high voltage transmission lines? This might be good for an commercial sized solar farm.

Pine trees for pulp wood? Pickle ball court?

You bought a bunch of land with no plan for it??

It looks like it’s been farmed recently. I don’t know what the growing season there is, you might be too late to start this year, but if you can lease it to a farmer for this season that at least has the land be productive while you figure out your longer-term plan. That way you can put plans in place to start work when the growing season is finished.

I couldn't tell you what to do with it but if I move to europe I will work on your commune and help with whatever as long as you'll have me lol

25 decares is a lot of land, you could have an entire city there. If the land is viable for farming you could allot enough of it to produce whatever you would need to sustain the population of the property, and have the rest of the place developed into living spaces and recreational areas like you said. A sports park, little golf course, botanical gardens, animal sanctuaries. Thats stuff for citizens to do besides meditate.

I mean, this is a real opportunity to create generational prosperity not just for you but for everyone who is involved in building it up. I hope that, whatever happens, you keep it safe from people who would see it turned into more wealthy suburbs or a cash crop operation that kills the soil in a generation.

Good luck to you on your journey and, again, I'd be thrilled to be a part of it

Did you ever see the movie Holes (2003)?

If I had this land, I'd grow food.

Does leasing the land pay enough to make it worthwhile? Gives you time to think.

If it's fertile land you should probably use it, or lease it, to grow food.

Farming is not easy. Until you learnt to be good at it you'll put in a lot of hours into making not much money after costs have been paid.

If you would like to live there someday I would recommend that as your goal. I would recommend you start doing some research on permaculture which is about building wholly sustainability. Part of this sustainability is financial and piecewise building and investment. So if you want to build and live on this one day you will need the money for it.

So start with leasing the land for at least 1 year to get some cash and for you to better understand where you might want to build a structure and what you need. This allows you to plan and see what part would fit a dwelling the best. This also lets you figure out what you need for this house (i.e. water, electricity, waste removal etc.) as well as figure out how this investment can make money for you. Start small and build modularly. Your dwelling may start on as shack or even a place to set up a tent and grow larger. Same with whatever you end up doing with the land.

Permaculture talks about building food forests which are sustainable year round sources of food, goods or materials. Some of which you can sell or use yourself. These are typically perennial plants, vines and trees which all grow off each other and make a beautiful space. This can be your space for "remote working" either for yourself or visitors.

While planning on starting on this you can continue to lease your land to farmers as you slowly take it over yourself for your bigger vision. This is suppose to be small, slow but sustainable growth to your final vision.

Did you check that you're actually allowed to build and live there? Depending on where that is (i guess left out on purpose), you can't simply decide to build a house in a field.

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.
