500 acres. $500,000. What would you do?

What would you do if you just came into 500 acres of land, and $500,000 in your bank?
Rules: You have to create a structure/event/business out of it, cant just live there. You can choose where the land is geographically. You have to spend all the money. (if anyone can think of more rules just post)
I think i would choose a nice plot of land in North Carolina in the mountains somewhere. In this property i would build my home, spending about half the $. Then start my own music park on this land where there are stages and frequent music festivals, as well as regular live concerts.
The $250,000 would get me started and i would find investors to really get me going.
So...what would you do?

start an apiary, build a hardcore bomb shelter/end of days compound alongside my house. Probably move to northern/mid oregon.
Maybe I'd try to encourage a commune to live on my land.

Definitely utilize the land for music festivals, as you stated, that's a great idea, would also build a house and invest some of the money to rely on sustainability, use a lot of the land for gardens and outdoor mushroom patches, plant a bunch of trees, (if they weren't all ready there) and make the venue worthwhile with multiple genres/stages for mostly EDM. But honestly 500k wouldn't even scratch the surface of what 500 acres could be used for.

i'd get some land somewhere green and close to the mountains. build a clandestine lsd lab and go from there. maybe get a poppy farm going and make some heroin as well. i'd buy a fuck load of drugs with that money. and i'd probably build a stage for shows and what not.

I'd put a chunk of the money into greenhouses and a chunk into a house to live in. Probably in Ontario but more to the southwest where it's a bit warmer.

all proceeds would go to build cob house communes and organic community gardens.
which you would of course be welcome to live and participate in.

Giant pot farm. Aquaponic fish/veggi farm for food. Secret underground bunker for living space. Use about 50k for a lifetime supply of lsd. Put it somewhere tropical and cheap to live so i can pay the locals with food/pot to take care of the aquaponics for me
Spend the rest of my days tripping and smoking on the beach

Hell yeah. You could turn it into the next electric forest or something, and turn that 500,000 into 10's of millions in a matter of a few years
