Plant potatoes. Charge rich families to come out and harvest potatoes as a "total farm experience". Sell them as a "rustic handgrown" crop.

Take the profit and buy a shit ton of meth and smoke until your heart explodes. Die with a smile as you escape late stage capitalism ✨️

Plant an orchard.

Pawlonia trees. Fastest growing wood in the world

Parking Lot

Put, like, three single family homes on it.

There's some great ideas in this thread but sadly I think most of them are fairly high risk.

Doing anything in this kind of scope is going to cost a lot of capital. If it goes wrong all that money is gone.

I would lease it to a farmer.

Maybe reserve a corner where you can build up some basic facilities. I'm not sure what's popular where you are but here in Australia you can find places like this on hipcamp where you can camp for a few dollars a day.

Use your income to build basic facilities over time. Toilets, showers, kitchen, solar.

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

You could look into rewilding the land

Edible forest

Pine trees for pulp wood? Pickle ball court?

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?

Regenerative Agriculture / Permaculture

If you plan to lease out to a farmer, find one that won't fill it with herbicides and pesticides. And maybe look to only lease part of it while you work to recover other parts.

I'm looking to buy land that needs to be recovered and have the budget that will likely lead me to a place like this that doesn't have direct road access. Good luck!

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

Sex shack

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

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

Plant something ASAP on that naked land or it will all be carried away by rain and wind.

Plant some dang trees for starters, unless it's only going to be land used for farming.

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.

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

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

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