Grow medical grade herb along with a variety of herbs, veggies, and flowers. I'd build a house on it and then just drop off the grid.

the 40 acres has a major highway along one side might be hard to drop off the grid, plus small town people gossip

Then a green house is in order (to keep out animals and intruders) and a small grow op ( > 5 plants) in my extra bedroom. Maybe dropping off the grid wouldn't be possible so self sustaining would be ok with me. No bills except property tax and that can be taken care of through the selling of my veggies. herbs, and flowers. Either way I would work it out somehow. I would do just about anything for a tract of land.

hahaha... I have more than 40 acres, I'm leasing it to a neighbor for cattle, it's not hard to get off the grid, just expensive... as for the gossip, apparently my neighbor is a yankee that's moving down here and buying up all the land to start a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan

Greenhouse with legal varieties of fruits, veggies, herbs, ornamental plants.
Outdoor mushroom growing area, enclosed by trees and natural cover.
I would also grow either auto-flowering marijuana varieties [stay under 3 foot] or just grow squat indicas and use LST and tying them down to control height.

Sell it or try and lease it.
I get the thing about privacy and all, but for me, it takes less than half an acre to be happy. A privacy fence and blinds/drapes and you're good.
If I could do something worthwhile with the land, it might be worthwhile.

It would really depend on what region it was in, the lay of the terrain and what sorta flora and fauna existed on it.
