What will i do with my Land??? Buisness ideas?

Question

I have just bought a rather sizable plot of land approx 3.6 acres I am going to be building my own house on this, wich will take up including the garden around 300 - 500m2.

My question is does anyone have any really good suggestions for something to do with the rest of this land which will make me some good money? I do not want to sell of as re-development and cannot put anything noisey in - because of neighbours/planning

Ive been thinking along the lines of a stocked fishing pond... Any other suggestions or idea's, anything considered!!!

Cheers in advance...

Answer 1

well if i had the oppitunity id definatly build a big block of stables with a nice field behind it!you'd have your own livery yard! you could charge bout £40 a week per horse!people are always looking for nice new places to keep they're horses!good luck (i dnt no how much room u got but have both u'd make a fortune!)

Answer 2

It's simple. Lease or sell it. Got no luck? Turn it into a small business. Still no luck? Like u said put in a pond, boats, and a dock for the public and then make a fee. Fishing is --- and fishing in boat is ----. U pick amount. Maybe even think about selling canoe's or boats. (preferably not pontoons. Ive tried)

Answer 3

rent it out as allotments...

Answer 4

Try planting a wood to supply your heating and cooking needs in the future Half a acre of ash copised at 3ft will support a family of 6 with heat /cooking within 12 years if you plant mixed wood namely ash ,oak ,bird cherry,Hazel holly(majority female for xmas berry trade) with a initial planting of 75% ash there are grants available for woodland planting,No public access (insurance probs)With the cost of enagy going uk you are on a win win situation  

Answer 5

Are you near to any local football grounds/hospital or places where people can park their cars to walk to somewhere where they have to pay for parking?If your near a football ground or even a 10-15 walk away from a football ground or hospital why not make a car parking area for paople to leave their cars while they walk to the hospital/football ground. If you did this and offered cheap parking people would pay to park and walk rather than park on a grounds pitch. Up in the N.W England the local football team has its own parking but soon gets full. The retail complex has patrols on so that home/away teams cannot park due to it being a shopping presinct. I live a 20 min walk away and have seen supporteres walk to as far as where I am to avoid all the slow traffic when leaving the ground. There are always double yellow lines or pay and display signs around. If you can build a car park and it have room for 10 spaces depending where you are you can charge a minimum of £1 per car per match day. At every home game near you this would bring in an extra £10. (not much you may be thinking but Im giving low prices to make the calculation easier) You could even say that a profit of 1% would go to a local charity if you are at all generous like that. You could offer people a residence and mark all your bays with numbers for an anual fee. Ie:- bay 1 to Mr Jones regular commuter £100 per year. (he may use your land as you could be next to a trainstation with a car park that doesnt have an overspill). He would then think if I pay £100 per years I dont have to rush to get a parking space in a morning.

I hope this helps. Im not very clever where business ideas are conserned but everone wants to park and there is not always a place to.

Answer 6

Make a big public park/play area with lots of stuff in for the community

Answer 7

Fruit trees.  They take time but not too much work, and food prices are not going down any time soon.  Also, an orchard will screen your house in a really pleasant way, and blossom in spring is gorgeous
