i live on 500 acres at the moment.. so i probably wouldnt crop it.

i'd cut down some trees and build a cute little cabin.. for relaxing weekends away from the city when i needed them (cabin cost would VERY cheap if you did it yourself.. and trust me its SO easy)

or if i needed the money:

Log 1/2 of it - collect the money. (leave the other 1/2 for animals and birds)
The 1/2 that is logged and cleared i would rent to a local farmer neeeding more room to run stock (you said it was hilly so you cant crop it, and maybe only tough sheep or goats will be sutable for stock)
i'd also develop a long couple of chook runs, get some chook feeder machines and make an income from some nice free range eggs!!

(wha ever you do dont invest in a pet goat of your own! trust me!)
