I'd go to jail probably

I'm just dreaming. Let's say I created a nice community here and offered cool activities like woodworking, gardening, meditation, yoga, massages, weightlifting, social dancing, soccer or some sport, community dinners. I don't know the cost* of doing all that but say I get on Booking for $10/night. Hosting 1 person per 100 m2 means 250 people :D I think it would be a no brainer to pay $300/mo for all those activities and to be around nice healthy likeminded people. Depending on the quality of the community, people might be willing to pay up to $1000/mo imo.

*toilet & shower, sleeping tent, mattress & pillow & bedding, solar panel & powerbank, desk & chair, co-working tent, transportation costs, security, food, drinking water... I'd have to somehow transport poop out of here or make poop disappear

Alternatively, I might want to do this in mediterranean region. It would be easier to market, right? Idk if I can rent someone's land to do this tho?

250m2 of permanent structure is legal. Non-permanent structure (tiny houses with wheels, tents) of any size is also legal.

Hypothetically maximum residential development here might be something like 25,000 m2 of apartments, which can be sold for +$1000/m2. That would be very be illegal. Also, this area would be zoned as industrial, not residential (after 2040-2050)

Usually people in villages want to move to modern areas. Villages are old, boring, ugly, etc usually

Workers of industrial zone live in residential areas near the industrial zone. You could see that area in the picture below if you zoom

There’s no natural disasters here but I’d have to have political connections and be rich if I wanted to do something like this without getting hurt in this country. I rather have less to lose and do something more modest

But out of curiosity, how would the investment numbers look like? They invest 1m on land and get 60% of the returns and I get 40% for the next 20 yeas for example?

Hey wanna be my marketer? :D

Almost everything is agricultural land. There are some parcels with fruit and pine trees within 1km.

No trees maybe because of the climate or land owners want to protect investment potential of their land. There's an industrial zone that's expanding slowly:

Are you interested in helping with this challenge? :D

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

It is common in this country to invest in land. It would have been better to invest in US tech stocks but I was young and not well informed

Any thoughts on figuring out longer-term plan?

I might be wrong but this area is relatively wet despite little rain. There's even a small swamp in middle of my parcel. There's a big river 1km away

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

 

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?

 

I know an outsourcing agency owner who spends $5K on Linkedin to find 1 client but I can't spend that much money because I am just starting out. I didn't keep in touch with him so I'm asking you instead.

When we talked he said I'd buy manhours for $20/hr in my country and sell for $30/hr in his country. He was a nice dude and said I should give it a try.

PS. I have a CS degree but I remember nothing. I got D from OOD course

 

Big means +10K online users

Preferably not FB or anything like tha
