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)
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. I should have invested in US tech 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. 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
It is better to meditate in middle of nowhere (Total lack of distractions :D). Also lack of proper infrastructure enables people to feel more connected to nature which is not a lie. I have no great answer but I try to make the community culture better than others by being there as owner and organizing events. I could keep it cheap or offer free stuff like free vegan food and free massages. If I can arrange a place to dance on, I could teach dancing there.
It does lack greenery but it felt pretty scenic to me when I was there. It is just kinda nothing in all directions. Nice breeze. Clean air. No bugs. I much rather be there than here (I’m in a normal apartment in a good location in the city) right now.
Yes I can build 250m2 of house here but that would kill land’s future investment potential (organized industrial area expansion is the development play here)
So instead I plan to use tents to host people if I ever do something here
Though, I guess I can build sheds if they are easy/cheap to remove. I don’t know much about construction
So if you build it, they will come
Non red areas here are owned by the state here. Infrastructure in those areas needs to be built by government. If government doesn’t build roads, electricity, sewer, etc, well then you’re shit out of luck
Edited my question
