A farmer friend of mine asked me for some advice the other day and I could do with some help to know what to say to him,.  He has a field well away from the rest of his farm, of about 15 acres, which he has been trying to sell for a while.  He has come up with the plan to fence the field into 5 x 3 acre plots to sell as "non-residential smallholdings".  He plans to put a shipping container with power and water on each plot and asked me if "my lot" (I guess he means small holders and not rugby players!) would be interested?  Any thoughts?  I'm sure he could sell the odd one but not sure if he would be able to sell them all?

be better off selling the unit as one , the 1st thing i see, is a big outlay fencing and buying 5 shipping containers, being 15 acres of agriculture land could be perfect for a F2F er if the ground is good

whats road access like, how much is he asking for the whole lot and in which county

If it won't sell he is asking too much , land always finds it's own price eventually
