Is this a good investment?

OK, I’ll be less mysterious.

The investment is tree seedlings on property I own. They will grow (hence is why I’m confident the investment will appreciate in value) but at this time I think it’s highly unlikely that I’d ever want to harvest them. Timber value goes up and down over time but $125,000 is a reasonable value of the timber in the future.

I’m not really looking for advice whether I should do this or not, but am looking for new perspectives on how to evaluate this from a financial standpoint. (Wrong place, I know, I know).

For clarification, I’m a guy. So it’s not jewelery, and my wedding band definitely does not have a diamond in it! But that is another very good example of something a person is unlikely to sell.
