Hello,
I just came across some affordable plots of land. There are about 30 to 40 available. They are solely single-family house plots, bordering a nature reserve and offering views of three castles (old palaces).
I’m thinking of buying two of them, each about 1200m² (13,000 sq ft) in size.
First, I want to build a house there, and second, a large garage. The total cost would be around 450,000 euros.
I want to fulfill a childhood dream and also take up a new hobby. The hobby is a bit unusual—I want to buy and restore a vintage car. I’ve always been interested in a Corvette from 1956 to 1961, with 1959 being the best year. So far, I’ve collected many books and documents about it.
Now my question:
Since the plot is large enough, I could build a garage suitable for my needs—of course, keeping a 3m (10 ft) distance from the neighbor.
Garage size: 12 meters (39 ft) wide, 10 meters (33 ft) deep, and 4.5 meters (15 ft) high with an entrance gate.
The height is necessary because I need a car lift among other things.
Such a restoration would take 3 to 5 years, and when finished, I plan to restore another model (a 1962 Ford Mustang, which is an amazing car).
What are the regulations for one or two such plots? Would I get a building permit / planning permission for the garage, considering the land borders a nature reserve? Should I look elsewhere for land? Should I first inquire at the building authority whether this is possible, or would that be a waste of time?
Do you have any ideas or suggestions regarding this?
The plots are not yet purchased but are already reserved for me. I would build the house on one plot and the garage on the other.
Thank you very much for your input.
Best regards,
Frico26
