Hello everyone,
I am planning to build a house in the next few years. Nothing concrete yet, and the start date is still uncertain, but probably in 2017. So there should still be enough time. At the moment, I am looking into possible building sites.
Among other options, I can use my parents’ large garden as a building plot. From the big property, I could have about 640 m² (6,900 sq ft). Although it is not yet serviced, the land itself would be very affordable. Therefore, this option is currently quite promising. What is problematic, however, is that the plot is relatively narrow and the neighboring houses are quite close. To the left is my parents’ house, and to the right of the plot are the neighbors’ garage and house. The map is oriented to the north. This is the general situation.
It is important to me that the garage is not placed between my parents’ house and mine, and that I am not too close to the neighbors but also not too close to my parents’ house. Six meters (20 feet) between two houses is quite little, isn’t it? What do you think?
Do you have any suggestions on how to best fit a house of about 11 x 10 m (36 x 33 ft) and a large garage, max. 7 x 8 m (23 x 26 ft), onto this plot? Drawings are welcome.
Thank you in advance!

Sorry, the term "driveway" confused me a bit.
Yes, I can access my property via the road. There are other properties above mine that can all be reached via this road. Since my property is at the bottom, I am at the end of the road. No turning area is planned. The connection for gas, water, telephone, etc., comes from the green property next to mine, passes through mine on the east side, and then follows the road to the other properties.

Hmm, if you can’t turn around on the street, I actually don’t find the initial layout too bad. Drive in forward with a right turn, reverse out of the garage, then reverse about 3m (10 feet) to the left (driver’s side) towards the rear, and finally drive forward onto the street again.
This should also cause the least interference with the planned utility lines.

Garage located somewhere in the southern corner, house 3 meters (10 feet) from the northern boundary. I have already considered that, but it is not ideal due to the overlay of utility lines.

Drive in forward with a right turn, then back out of the garage, move about 3 meters (10 feet) to the left (driver’s side) backwards, and then drive forward onto the street again.That’s exactly what I had in mind. If I then position the entrance somewhere next to the garage, I can also cover it relatively easily.
