My uncle left me some land, around 11 acres. I'm not sure what to do with it, but paying taxes on it these last 2 years without the land earning its keep in any way is not something I want to continue. Selling it in this economy, with no new construction going is PROBABLY not going to bring much, if an offer at all. I'd kinda like to keep it anyway, it's neat tromping around on it playing land baron! I'll describe it the best I can so as to not get berated for being vague - it has been logged around 8 to 10 years ago. The loggers left a damn mess of laps. It has 2 good branches running through it, the loggers left the trees along them, it's a law to prevent erosion I think. It is a good 10 miles from town, but only a mile or so from interstate. It was to be a part of a subdivision of smallish brick houses. I drive through it to get to the land. Power pole goes to the land and stops there. I have the plat to the planned road through it, shows like 30 lots with a cul-de-sac at the end. Maybe they decided to stop there because of the 2 branches to cross, I don't know.
I've thought about trying to put solar panels on it, Duplexes to rent out, maybe even building "tiny" houses to rent out to hippies letting them commune with their very own garden plot. The mind wanders, eh?
Oh, it's in 5 different squares of a couple acres + - apiece if that helps. So, what do you think, mustachians? I'm quite sure there is some way for it pay for itself, just not sure what that is.
