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)).

But aside from this slight dissatisfaction, should I have recognized the design in post #80 as a representation of your own thoughts? – Do the children already correspond to the rooms?The floor plan is from the myline 140 by Gussek Haus. Basically, it includes many of the features we have in mind and could serve as a basis for further planning. However, it doesn’t make sense if there are major “mistakes” right from the start.
There are no children yet, no. But they are planned for the next five years, if everything goes well.

Basically, I find the floor plan quite well thought out. Are you interested in mine? The dimensions are 10.5 x 7 m (34.5 x 23 ft).
However, I have to say that the shell, including windows and the stairwell to the upper floor, was already in place, so I was forced to design around it. I probably would have planned it a bit differently myself.
On the ground floor, there is a living room, kitchen (separated), utility room, and guest toilet; on the upper floor, three rooms and a bathroom.
As mentioned, you can use the bay window trick to make more use of the roof space.

I have to mention that the shell, including windows and the stairwell to the upper floor, was already in place, so I was forced to design within that framework. I probably would have planned it a little differently otherwise.

As mentioned, you can use the bay window trick to make better use of the attic space. Gladly, I’m open to any inspiration I can get.

P.S. The house on plot 73 doesn’t have a 3m (10ft) distance from the southeast corner, right? Is there a building encumbrance registered there?
P.P.S. A semi-detached house would be much easier to develop; is that really the final decision? In my opinion, an extension easement would increase the value of the southern part of plot 75 by at least 50%. After sitting together with the grandparents last Sunday, here are the owed answers:
No, there is no building encumbrance (although I would like to double-check that) – my boyfriend’s grandfather was apparently often pressured by the neighbor to sign for the easement but, according to his own statement, never did.
A semi-detached house is not possible. It seems that the ownership situation for plot 75 is quite complicated (multiple nested inheritance communities), and on top of that, a usufruct right is registered for the rear part – if they weren’t all so divided, one could still try. But under these circumstances, and with the fundamental rejection already expressed, that’s the final word, yes. Unfortunately.
