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?

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.

Dark-sky site?

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Firstly, you have an opportunity of a life time. Build a toilet with no cover, you get to shit like a modern person but with the calmness and stress-freeness of a cave person.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Sit around and be a land lord. The farmer slaves can just plant and harvest stuff for you oh lord of the dirt field!

[–] Vytle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Build a whole theme park

place a monument to something there, and other stuff.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 5 points 4 days ago

Honestly the vegan Yoga Retreat idea could be really cool. If I had a bunch of plans I would do a commune, although I'd rather do an Urban ecocommune personally but you have enough land to get some serious permaculture done. What sort of climate do you have?

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

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

[–] dumples@midwest.social 10 points 4 days ago

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.

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?

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Put, like, three single family homes on it.

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This will look so much better when it's smothered in Kentucky Blue grass and drive ways. /S

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago

WOAH WAIT A MINUTE THERE BUDDY, IS THAT A NON-COMPLIANT SHADE OF BEIGE?!

[–] Auntievenim@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

are you leasing it to a farmer? or are you building a poop resort? i can't tell which one it is because you listed both

[–] Gtoasted@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago

Parking Lot

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

I like the 2nd idea.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 8 points 4 days ago (4 children)

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?

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.

I thought you bought a picture at first

I just funged it. You'll never get me, coppers.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago

God damnit, Johnson, he keeps funging it! We've got to find this guy!

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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.
