But I would spend the time to call around to some concrete and paving contractors to get your own quote.

Unless the dirt road is completely level, erosion can become a huge problem.I now live on the far end of a nicely paved and plowed road

The roads are currently gravel and I'd like to model in some capex for paving the roads once acquired.

@Michael D NewcomerMichael, I am not claiming that you are a "butt in the world" but "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". 

Is the road paved or is it dirt?

All of the "quick patch" types of seed are annual, meaning they won't come back and you'll be planting again next year.I'd also carve out a good section of yard and put down seeds for flowers that attract pollinators (bees and butterflies).Beyond that, I'd go with decorative water permeable bricks or stone.Good luck!

No one knows or cares as long as the payments are on time.They say the road to riches is paved with good intentions.

These entries make it clear how much urban density can be upgraded by rethinking the segments of marginal land that come bundled with each separate house: the paved yard, the alley, the driveway, the garage.

Pave a large portion of the lot and rent out parking for RVs, Campers, Boats for the nearby neighborhoods (HOA doesn't allow large vehicles in driveways/street parking)5.

Also, does anyone know the ballpark amount that needs to be spent to develop 7.5 acres with infrastructure, plat the land, county water/septic hook ups, paved road etc.
