State of the surface of the cultivable area

Long-term goal or vision for land
A modern homestead retreat.
We would like to have thematic cabins (a viking ship, a bee hive, mushroom shaped cabin, etc) these would all receive a breakfast basket with homes made bread and preserves from our gardens as well as eggs from our hens, local honey etc. Main money driver of the business.
A campground with a selection of tent spots as well as glamping tents for a more upscale experience. With bathroom.and shower block as well as a cooking shelter
We will be building an event space with a commercial kitchen to do workshops on land management as well as a weekly chef table consisting of ingredients grown seasonally and locally.
And of course gardens mainly for vegetables and fruit production via an orchard / bushes.
A small barn for equipment storage and animal feed
Chicken coop holding up to 100 hens depending on scale
And some space for us to have a small cabin style house.
