I have been browsing various topics in the forum for some time but so far have only come across larger construction projects: 120 sqm to 180 sqm (1300 sq ft to 1900 sq ft) or similar.
Therefore, I wonder if anyone here has experience with very, very small residential buildings?
For example: 40 sqm (430 sq ft) of living space (see Thule KuBu40), which is just enough for one person, especially if there is an accompanying garden, conservatory, etc.
Can I still expect costs roughly like the following, adapted from a response in another thread:
Land already owned
2500€/sqm (230$/sq ft): 100,000€
30,000€ for outdoor facilities
Additional construction-related costs 50,000€
No basement
So about 180,000€ in total? My goal is to have a base comparable to my apartments from the last 10 years (30–50 sqm / 320–540 sq ft), but with a private garden and a view of nature.
Unfortunately, I have not been very successful searching the forum, and on my other questions I keep getting lost in threads that are unrelated to what I am asking.
So a link to a similar project would also be very helpful.
Thanks in advance if anyone feels like responding 🙂

As far as I know, everything over 45-50 sqm (485-540 sq ft) has to be deducted. It would obviously be easier if there were two of you, then you would have 90 sqm (970 sq ft).But certainly not a technical room. Your 40 sqm (430 sq ft) apartment also includes basement space and utility areas (drying room and bike storage), which are not counted as living space.

40 m² (430 sq ft) and wood pellets probably don't make much sense. You can almost only heat that with a stove and use electric heating or radiators for emergencies.

40 square meters (430 square feet) and wood pellets probably don’t make much sense. You can almost only heat that with a stove and rely on electric heaters or radiators for emergencies. That would at least be consistent: topping the exorbitant per capita land use of a detached tiny bungalow with an inefficient electric heating system (soy milk, of course!) as the cherry on top ;-)

SumsumBiene10 Aug 2021 19:24What would be efficient for such a small area? Solar power and heating with it? That’s electricity, right?
I have no idea.

A multi-family shared housing building* is more environmentally, economically, and socially advantageous than the crazy idea of each individual placing a "wheel-less folding caravan" out on a green field. Beyond a certain level of naive nonsense, it only matters at the seventh decimal place whether you heat with biogas made from flea droppings. Reality only works outside of fantasy thinking 🙂[I*] ideally as a combination of units for "shared living groups" and traditional "families" [/I]

*) ideally as a combination of units for "shared households" and those for traditional "families"Yes, that would indeed be the right solution (.. Our wish is also not just any plot for a tiny home, but rather a house with enough land so we can later pass the house on to the next generation and move into the mini house... Well... just dreams. I also really like the idea of a true multi-generational village or estate)
