a decentralised autonomous community to buy tokenised woodland ;-)
Land is a nice thing to put in one's SIPP. The way the trade works best is that you buy the field next to your house, enjoy the view for 25 years then sell it to bank the planning gain when you downsize / move further from London. The valuation is amazingly geared as the long-term development potential comes into view.
In the old days you would simultaneously pledge it as underwriting collateral at Lloyd's. That didn't end so well.

Lots of people buying woodland to avoid IHT - several billionaires buying up parcels all over the place.
I looked into creating a fund to buy up large parcels of woodland (can’t get a mortgage for it) and then divide them into smaller bits as more of a consumer investment. But returns still didn’t look great for the effort. WaaS (woods as a Service)
