Hello everyone,
In my friend’s hometown, there is only one available building plot left.
Its orientation is actually quite good.
It’s a corner lot.
Streets on the south and west sides.
The only downside (and probably the reason why the plot is still free) is that there is a farm directly across the street, about 15m (50 feet) away.
Does anyone have experience with issues like flies or similar?
We love country living. But right now, I’m not sure if it's too rural for us...
Has anyone built in a similar situation and can share their experience?
Best regards

City or countryside?
A farmhouse always means noise and various kinds of odors.

hampshire21 Jun 2020 09:50It's really a matter of personal preference. We’ve all become quite spoiled and sensitive, used to traffic noise but bothered by insects and animal sounds.
If you move there, you’ll experience more insects and flies, animal noises, rural smells, and the sounds of farm operations.
The only sensible thing is to make your own assessment. Spend a few days camping on the property or park a motorhome there to get a feel for it.

I find the smell of cows acceptable, but pigs are definitely not for me. You should also be aware of all the farm’s operational routines. Work doesn’t only take place Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. They also work on weekends and, during harvest season, sometimes around the clock. Are there any planned farm expansions?
If you see too many negative aspects about the building site, then it’s better to walk away. If you think you can get used to a few minor issues, then go for it.
