Brainstorming creative ideas for vacant land!

Hi All,

I'm looking at a piece of vacant land that I could get an extremely good price on. It's small, around 3 or 4k square ft, but enough to build on. The flip side is that it is boarded by other single family owners as well as a city owned walking trail. This essentially means that the property has NO access. 

Positives-

Amazing Location!

Popular Walking/biking trail

Walkable neighborhood close to a school

Negative-

No vehicle access, requires easement

No utility access without permission to bore underground from neighbors.

I would love to hear your ideas! Should we build a single family? Duplex? Tiny homes? Manufactured new build? 

Open to any and all ideas, Thanks!

Call the building/zoning dept of that county.  Give the lot number/plot ID.  That plot of land may be vacant due to zoning.  IE new zoning needs 2x, 3x more land to build thus its orphaned.  Most state/counties guarrantee access to land so the easement is a given but has to be granted through some county action.  IE neighbors (in most areas) can't block access.   The county is where youll learn what is possible and why its still vacant.
