Hey, I think I saw a bald eagle roosting up in that tree.  You know, the one 
next to those buried Indian artifacts, right next to those rusting metal drums 
I got from Russel Bliss.

Assuming that high speed lead poisoning is not what you had in mind, the
only sure-fire (groan?) thing i can think of would be to deed the property
to a congresscritter, transferrable 10 years after your death.

100% Guarantee there will be NO development on that land for 10 years!

 Theoretically, something like that is possible, but my only 
 ideas aren't so 
 hot. For instance, and elderly couple could sow some form of 
 radioactive 
 substance into their grounds, in quantities that would take 
 longer than 
 their life expectancy to kill them.
 
 Of course, a cleanup might be possible, but that would 
 theoretically wack 
 out the cost structures.
 
 There might be other less drastic measures that can be taken, 
 however, such 
 as finding a way to boost up the property costs so that the 
 developers lose 
 interest or perhaps even creating a very hard-to-find 
 landlord that is 
 collecting vast sums (on paper) for the rent of the property.
 
 These are crummy ideas, so relax. But I suspect something is possible.

1. Make your property a habitat for endangered species; there are
plenty of plants, bugs, and small animals that qualify.

Getting them there in the first place is probably illegal, but
once they're established, no development which destroys their
habitat is legal, generally speaking.

2. Similarly, and even simpler, turn strategic portions of
your property into wetlands or vernal pools. Similar protections
vs development apply.

Interesting. it occurs to me also that a Tim May-based approach may work: 
Lay out landmines and boobytraps all over the place, and then forget where 
you put 'em. No one's really going to want to drive a bulldozer over that!
