What to do with a schoolhouse(cross-posted from 00t)

[timex]

I got home for reading week, and my parents told me about a decent investment opportunity near our cottage. It is a 40 year old schoolhouse on a secondary highway in a fairly remote location, but just about a mile from a great lake. It is about 10000 square feet with a gymnasium, 5 classrooms, and a soccer field/baseball diamond, and the price they are selling for seems to be not much more than this 3 acre lot would sell for if it was empty.

Its likely only selling for such a small price because it is impossible to create a good business in this area; but it is also possible that it is only so cheap because no one has yet had any good ideas.

The highway it is off of seems to be busy enough to have a general store/small restaurant, but not busy enough to support a fast food chain/tim horton's etc.

It is about 1 hour from a few city's with population of 100k or more, and about 3 hours from Toronto(biggest city in Canada).

Rehab and it turn into your place and move in. Imagine, a freakin gym in your house and a soccer field/baseball diamond in your backyard. Now that's baller. All you need now is some T-Rex eggs.

Plus, you can probably sell it in a few years for a nice profit.

I agree with warr; it sounds like it would make a cool house

How big is the gym?

Similar to a typical grade school gym; not nearly big enough for basketball games etc.

How many 5 year old could fit in the gym?

Maybe do some kind of training camps, practices, maybe rent it out for some type of educational thing.

I would suggest that you create something that people continue to come back for.

If all else fails, you can start a South Harmon Institute of Technology.
