During the height of the pandemic, I was able to purchase some land with 30 minutes of DFW. Over the last year I have started to build plans that would allow me to place a few rental cabins and other country retreat amenities on this site. I recently just finished my first cabin build, but have still to tackle a lot of the other logistic that would need to be addressed such as Road, Electrical, Water to the cabins, amenities. At this point I am really interested to network with those that have or are doing something similar. I am interested in understanding the challenges that you may be facing and how you are navigating them. I am not currently looking for partners in this, but I am not against the idea under the right conditions.

Sounds like a fun project @Tony Karns. I am curious that there is no roads going in? How far is electrical? Will you be able to do a well with enough flow to accommodate multiple cabins?

I would fully develop your plans as to infrastructure, other cabins and amenities before doing too much building. Maybe get an engineering firm to help you.

It's not that difficult to build a driveway/road. I use my dumptruck to get gravel from a quarry. Dump it in the driveway while moving forward. Drive the dumptruck home and drive back with my tractor with a boxblade to smooth it. Most people don't have a dumptruck and a tractor.
