This has the possibility of becoming either a Win-Win, or a disaster:
If there is a large city nearby, you might find a couple who want to build a PC farm for themselves, but like most folks, don't have the cash/credit to buy land. If they could live 3-5 years @ nearly rent-free while keeping their city jobs, they could save enough to fulfill their dreams. In that time, they would be planting & practicing their skills on your land. If their "rent" covered your property taxes, and they were providing the maintenance, you have fulfilled your wishes, and they have learned along the way of saving their cash for their own place.
The disaster could be if you allowed them to pay the property taxes...if they have 3-5 years proof that they have been paying the property taxes, the land is theirs if they apply to the county tax collector. They need to pay YOU, and YOU must pay the property taxes to protect your property.
