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)).

One minor obstacle is that we don’t have an electrical connection yet,Do you mean the switch from construction power to the house electrical system has not been done yet?https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

You mean: the temporary construction power hasn’t been switched to the house electrical system yet? The main electrical connection to the house doesn’t exist yet.
Someone assumed another person had taken care of it, and in the end, no one applied for it. Then the application was submitted, but the civil engineer was unreachable. Allegedly, the road will be opened up next week, and then things will move quickly. Allegedly.
Have you built so far using only solar and diesel power???

la.schnute7 May 2021 12:07@saralina87 I really like your house and the floor plan! Very well thought out! We are also building a rather modest single-family home (142 m² (1530 sq ft) – we initially planned 138 m² (1485 sq ft) and then slightly increased it), but for almost the opposite reason: our plot isn’t small, but rather quite large and therefore expensive, so the house had to be affordable 😉.
I think your wall construction is a dream – solid wood would have been my first choice if money were no object. For us, it’s Ytong, which is also nice. I’m looking forward to seeing more pictures of your little house!
