already working towards buying a small amount of farm land as it is.
Sadly, there are slim pickings around me. I'm not trying to be a
'hipster hermit' as you seem to think either, I genuinely like farming
and I'd like to do more than what I can now. I dislike living so
close to I75 that it's a constant droning hum all day, every day. I'd
like to get as far away from that as possible. With $200 million,
I'd buy up 200+ acres of land that I can choose to do whatever I want
with. That can take several million for the land itself, then there's
taxes to pay annually, the cost of building a home, installing septic,
digging a well, building a road to the home, building multiple barns and
a workshops, filling the workshops with equipment that I would use,
buying fabric and materials for making costumes and props, purchasing
animals, getting the animals checked by a vet annually, heating and
cooling the home/barns/workshop, electricity, maintaining the property,
buying farm equipment, buying seeds and trees, and hell I'd like to
build a big ass greenhouse too and glass isn't cheap. Add on top all the
permits and bureaucratic hoops needed to jump through on top as well,
since you can't always just start building shit where ever you like. $200 million isn't all that ridiculous when you add everything up.
