Maintain your own private compound--hey, the Kennedys have nothing on you! Or subdivide and sell some land--it's going for more than $5000 an acre these days. Second house could be rented for income, or kept for family and guests who weren't as quick as you to snap up this high and dry country haven. They'll be lining up to come visit.
