Hello,
we unexpectedly have the opportunity to purchase a plot of land. Since it comes from family, the price would be a real bargain for us, around 200 euros per square meter (about 19 USD per square yard) (Bavaria - Baden-Württemberg border area).
Unfortunately, the plot is not perfectly shaped; it is 13 m (42.7 ft) wide and 23 m (75.5 ft) long, so roughly 300 square meters (3,229 square feet) in size.
This weekend, we visited a large model home park and checked out various builders.
We were especially impressed by Baufritz, Weberhaus, Schwabenhaus, and Gussek Haus.
I wanted to ask for your experiences with these companies—maybe also regarding costs?
Our budget is about 450,000 euros (around 478,000 USD), minus the land cost leaves us with 390,000 euros (about 414,000 USD) for the house and additional building costs (the plot is already serviced). Our idea for the house is about 130 to 140 square meters (1,400 to 1,507 square feet) of living space, with a footprint approximately 7 m (23 ft) by 12 m (39 ft). We plan to do the landscaping ourselves; a garage is not planned for now, and we also do not want a basement.
I would really appreciate any suggestions!
PS: No, we do not want to buy and renovate an existing property. On the one hand, there are hardly any available here, and on the other hand, it is outrageously expensive when something does appear (recent example: semi-detached house, built in 1969, no (!) renovation measures since construction except for windows replaced in 2012, mold in all rooms, 400 square meters (4,306 square feet) of land, not in a city but in a village, sold by bidding for 380,000 euros (about 404,000 USD)).

After deducting the terrace, you have 2m (6.6 ft) of garden left at the top. Because of the length, your car blocks the entire area on the left side.
Thanks for the drawing. Now it’s clear how extremely little space there really is. How do you come up with two meters?! I definitely don’t plan to place a 4 x 7 sqm (43 x 75 sq ft) terrace there, that’s for sure...
You could try building the house relatively close to the edge of the lower street. I have a similarly small plot, and the other houses on the street, like mine now, are built almost right up to the street with very little setback, so mine now has only 100cm (40 inches) distance to the sidewalk. My dimensions are 8.20m (27 feet) by 10m (33 feet), and on the upper floor 8.20m (27 feet) by 10.80m (35 feet) on the left and 10m (33 feet) on the right. Going wider here would hardly have been possible.
Check how close you are allowed to build to the street.
I would move the house as far forward as possible.
I would park vehicles in the east, either one behind the other, or if you often need two vehicles, one on the left and one on the right. The remaining green strip can be used as a garden. There really isn’t much space.
@Escroda are there any options to avoid having to maintain the 3-meter (10-foot) distance on one side?
