The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)

Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

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?

What will people do there? The same thing people have done for 10,000 years. Alcohol, sex, and games.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Boy do I have a lifehack for you

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago

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.

You could look into rewilding the land

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

as an investment

Edit: but, also:

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 146 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 89 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I vote for the dang trees. I like trees.

Sell 1x1 foot squares of it in a vending machine at a random gas station in the middle of nowhere.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

With a hidden rent fee.

[–] ksigley@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I would totally buy a gapcha token for one 1x1^2ft of inaccessible land from a vending machine.

[–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

This is why it'll sell, people like obscure shit.

Pawlonia trees. Fastest growing wood in the world

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 98 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Looks like someone was farming it before, OP should contact them first since they will know about the potential and problems. Maybe make a percentage-of-profits deal rather than a lease. The timing is good for a crop, if they move quickly.

Or rewild it with native plants. Maybe some young trees on the windward edge, and seeds for a meadow

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Plant whatever everybody around this area is planting and ASAP. He can think about what to do next year, but not this one.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day 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.

[–] cleanandsunny@literature.cafe 85 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Lease as much of that land as you can.

Careful. The Lemmy mob is watching 👀

[–] cleanandsunny@literature.cafe 45 points 2 days ago

Ha. Anyone who’s farmed knows that ag leases are such a different scenario and very negotiable, especially if you are working with someone who wants to see the land in production or help young farmers etc. I WISH there had been more willing landlords when I was farming, it took me two years to find a place at all. Lemmings can hate once they’ve negotiated their own ag lease 👀 👩🏻‍🌾

I like the 2nd idea.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day 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?

[–] CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

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!

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.

[–] amksenin@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago (8 children)

There's a solar farm 1km away. I heard here it would require like $1m of investment and it pays for itself in 7 years but that's above my pay grade AFAIK

Couple ideas:

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

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Sit on it.

It's been three hours.... Bored now, can I get up?

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

Put, like, three single family homes on it.

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

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

Hire one single dude to ask tourists whether they get to the cloud district very often.
