Ideas for 3 acres in small town near Charlotte

[Chris Sellers]

I recently purchased 3 acres inside the city limits of a smaller town just outside Charlotte, NC.  I cannot build houses on it until the sewer is expanded since the land failed the septic testing (projected in 2026).  I'm buying the land for a great price for this reason and plan to build 3-5 houses on the land to sell in 4 years (I'm a builder).

I'm looking for innovative ideas to generate income on the property in the meantime.  It's zone as Open Space District, meant to be residential or farm related.  Land on heavy traffic road and is surrounded by high density middle income neighborhoods.  

Some ideas I've had:

-Rent space for RVs, service trucks, heavy equipment and boats to be stored outside (if approved by city).  

-Horse boarding, self service only (city would approve, requires building a barn and fencing which would convey with a future houses).

I can install electricity, water and portable toilets (no bathrooms).

Looking very forward to your ideas!

Thanks, Chris
