It's hard on two levels. It's not an especially large parcel of land. Some years ago, my grandfather sold some of the back end of the property (was forced to sell? Dunno details.) to put in a county road. So anyone taking it over would wind up having to work pretty damned hard and creatively to scrape together a living there. Plus, something pretty serious has to happen with the house because the septic system is shot. So anybody taking over the property has some pretty huge projects/financial burdens to take on. Plus, if it isn't a primary residence, taxes get pretty crazy. Taxes have already gotten fairly crazy because of all the McMansions that have gone in around it.

The second level is the family level. The siblings (my mom and aunts and uncles) have their own individual opinions about things, and would rather see certain family members over others wind up on the property.

I could see the space turned into something like studio space for artists-in-residence, but boy howdy. Believe me, the whole thing has been in the back of my mind for a number of years now.
