What would you do with 60+ acres of undeveloped land in Louisiana?

Passive Income Ideas
1

Hi everyone,

I have about 60 acres of undeveloped land in south Louisiana. It is heavily wooded, located in a flood zone, and a few miles from the nearest town. Since a significant portion of it is underwater for at least 12 days a year, building at ground level isn’t feasible.

What are some ideas for generating passive (or nearly passive) income from this land? I’m willing to invest time upfront and am open to any suggestions.

You can seek a loan and invest in luxury tree houses.
Research on this idea.
I know an investor in Berlin, OH who is making lots of money from this idea. Their place is always booked

With experience in land management and investment, I’d suggest considering options like timber harvesting or leasing the land for hunting rights, which can be suitable for heavily wooded and flood-prone areas. Another idea is to develop a timber or forest management plan, which can provide sustainable income. You might also explore creating a conservation easement if you prefer to preserve the land while receiving tax benefits. For passive income, consider installing beehives for honey production, or even leasing space for cell towers if it’s in a good location. These approaches can leverage your land’s natural characteristics and provide revenue with minimal ongoing effort.

Hello Skylar, Here are some ideas:

Farming:

  • Crops: Grow crops like corn or soybeans if the land is good for it.
  • Livestock: Raise animals like cattle or horses.
  • Forestry: If the land has trees, consider timber management.

Recreation:

  • Hunting and Fishing: Set up a private spot for hunting and fishing.
  • Camping or RV Park: Turn it into a campground.
  • Outdoor Activities: Offer hiking, biking, or horseback riding.

Development:

  • Subdivision: Split the land into smaller lots for homes.
  • Commercial: Use it for stores, offices, or factories.
  • Vacation Rentals: Build cabins or cottages for short-term stays.

Conservation:

  • Wildlife Habitat: Protect the land for animals.
  • Carbon Storage: Look into programs that pay for storing carbon.
  • Conservation Easements: Work with groups to keep the land natural.
