Farm Land / Lake Land

Hey Everyone. So I bought 25 acres about a year ago and have been dropping $1200 a month into it (money from my J.O.B.). The problem is that I bought it to keep a developer from getting their hands on it and turning it into a neighborhood. (It's farmland currently on a lake directly next to a lake house my family owns). Anyone have any creative ideas on how I can turn this into something that cash flows without doing what the developer wanted to do?! I'm okay with building a house or two on it, I just don't want 60 houses next to my family's vacation home!

@Andy Wayne As a developer myself I applaud you stepping up and buying the land rather than waiting until a developer purchased it and then complaining about it being developed! Maybe you can develop some vacation rentals, and keep the use similar to what you have.
