Hello everyone,
we are currently looking for a suitable plot of land and have come across a nice one that is also very reasonably priced. However, it is located on a slope and has an unusual shape. That’s why I wanted to get some opinions on whether you would feel confident building on it. The house itself can also be somewhat unconventional. 🙂
About the plot: You can already see some details in the picture. It is a wide but not very deep plot. The driveway access is from the front, coming off the street. From the street to the back of the plot, there is a drop of about 3 meters (10 feet).
About the house: The house should probably be positioned as far to the right as possible so that the main garden faces west—we are already settled on that. It should be a wide house with a maximum depth of 9 meters (30 feet) according to the building limits. We would like a double garage, which should probably be placed as far to the right and back as possible, with the main entrance then on the right side? Would it make sense to have the main living area on the ground floor and to have half of the building with a basement? We would then mainly use the basement as a wellness area with a sauna and utility room, and have the upper floor reserved for the bedrooms. Building 1.5 stories is allowed.
We would really appreciate many opinions. Of course, I am happy to answer further questions if anything in the description was unclear. 😎

No one can really tell you that. Without a zoning plan or precise measurements/topographical survey, there are only a few lines visible. Where is the plot located, what does it cost, soil report, location, residency restrictions, noise pollution, neighboring buildings, and so on. Whether a plot is suitable depends on so many factors that no one here can tell you if it “fits.”
My suggestion: look for architects or home builders and discuss the plot with them or visit it. This may involve some costs upfront, but it’s better than ending up with a property you don’t like.
