Creative use of an Easement
Hey Everyone,
I am looking at a one acre parcel where about half of the land has an overhead power line easement. When thinking about best end use I am considering a modular office building and then leasing / selling to a small landscaping company, construction company etc that could use the space under the wires.
What are some other uses you have seen that would be good use of the land? Please assume the power company would allow the activity - will confirm as part of diligence their requirements. Thank you!

Is there access to this part of the land? If not you will need to build a new road and may have to make more easements on the rest of the property. But pretty much any industrial use seems like it could work. At least youre in Houston so you don't have to deal with zoning.
