Serious Question Re " What farm do you want to buy with roll over money"

[TripleSix]

Ours.

And the house next door.

 

[smcapstick]

A big Georgian pile with a model farm behind it (buildings must lend themselves to conversion in to heated garages). A long drive up to it through parkland.

A discreet road off to one side that goes to the modern buildings (out of sight of the House). Free-draining land, ring-fenced etc etc.

Must be and extremely low crime area, that is very close to a small, upmarket town and has a small city under an hour away with plenty of amenities and society.

Oh, and a good race circuit relatively near by.

The Borders or Aberdeenshire for me, or somewhere like High Mowthorpe on top of the Yorkshire wolds - another cracking bit of business by our civil servants done there

It would end up with more sheds and a lot of concrete.

I'd quite like a 100ac lowland farm to feed it too.

[Clive]

could you roll over into a row of houses in Brighton

not unless you filled them with livestock or tractors no

 

[Hilly]

A Scottish highland estate so i can be the Monarch of the glen !

 

[Rowland]

Buy a bit of prime Commercial property in large city let it out on a full repair tenancy sit back and collect rent!
Or buy a farm and watch it disappear whilst fighting the weather defra tresspassers do gooders grain merchants fert sales men crop walkers cattle dealers snake oil salesmen and many others who will push your blood pressure up bank balance down mood bad .
But on the rare occasion like this morning it might be worth checking on ewes and lambs in some nice spring sunshine.
But seriously think about option one

Male brothel? From what I've heard of the place it would be 'In-character'.

All depends if I needed to keep generating income, or somewhere just to lose some cash.

If the latter, I'd go for a ringfenced farm, with a big detached farmhouse with spectacular views and a couple of farm cottages. I'd like remote, but not in Scotland. An island of 2-8000 acres would do.

Then I'd turn the farm into my own sporting paradise.

Why not Scotland ? fishy woman and her crew ?

 

[Pieces_of_Eight]

Just have a feeling that Sporting estates or their income will be "nationalised" in the next 20? years if she gets her way.
