That's extremely untenable from a sovereignty and foreign policy standpoint. Most countries do not like it when huge fractions of economic segments or asset classes are owned by foreign interests, and will usually start obstructing efforts through law / regulation / straight-up theft.

My limited understanding is that its not enough to buy the land: you have to defend it from predation by outsiders/others.
