The next woodstock?

Perhaps some kind of cash crop? Poppys?

I always thought a nursery would do good. It just might take a couple of years to get it off the ground. Which it sounds like you are in no hurry.

Anyone in your area who could work it and make some money? We have a client whose husband died last year and left her a shit ton of land. She is renting it to a guy to bail hay and such on for $3000/month.

put something on it / do something with it that no one else has/does in your area.

maybe like an off-road park. ATVs, dirtbikes etc.

7 acres in town? Edge of town?


How about breaking it into grids and renting garden spots?

This was my first thought. Nice touch with reaching out to the cops, too. That will eliminate a lot of problems.

just mow it...my yard is 11 acres. it's a bitch, and costs a bunch in gas though.

the guy that owns another 11 acres just north of me has a paintball place set up. people just reserve a date w/him. even when he's got stuff going on, it's pretty quiet.

right after we built, he put it up for sale and i was trying to talk the wife into just buying it, so no shitbirds would move a trailer in. the old bastard went and won $50k in the lottery, so he took the place off the market and built a little shed to keep supplies in to sell the paintballers. i'm sure he's not getting rich off of it, but i think he makes a little money, and can get away from his wife.

sec

Plant something. Fruit trees, pecan trees, blueberries, etc. Whatever grows well in your area.

How does the land lay?


If you're a greenthumb at all, you could look into commercial gardening and selling produce at farmer's market or sell in volume to someone who does.

You could also think longer term and look at some alternative crop ideas, like grapes or acai berries for a little more return on your investment.

Paintball might work, but it exposes you to liability for injury. I know this because someone took his provided goggles off during a paintball event on our property, had a retina detached and won his lawsuit vs my family.

Xmas tree farm and ship the trees out to metro areas before the holiday season.

Put in a parking lot and an indoor theater building with stage. Call it "Chez de Chippendales". Hire a bunch of young, buff dudes from local colleges and score 15 percent from their take plus big profits from selling liquor and sexual toys for females. Bet the wifey would likez dat a hole lotz.

(Did I just say "a hole"?...Oooooh - dat's naztee!)

i agree w/this...i mentioned the guy next to me because someone else mentioned paintball. also, because i was kinda worried at first that the place was always going to have a bunch of people and noise. actually, it's usually pretty quiet over there, and he's a pretty good old boy. i do question his sense at times, like when he schedules an event on the first weekend of rifle-deer season.
