Hello,
we are planning to purchase a plot of land in a newly developed residential area and build a single-family house.
The development is located in a very rural area, and it is expected that demand will not be very high. We need to inform the municipality shortly which plot we would like to reserve. A lottery system might be used if necessary.
We already have a clear favorite. Currently, we are leaning strongly toward plot 177.
There are several reasons for this:
My husband managed the former agricultural land for many years. He believes that this plot’s location is comparatively dry and slightly elevated, which he considers important due to its immediate proximity to the Fleth (a stream).
Furthermore, the agricultural land to the east of the plot is owned by the family, so the view is likely to remain unobstructed in the long term.
In general, we like the view of the surrounding farmland. We do not want to live right in the middle of the new development.
We find the plot’s orientation advantageous, especially with the potential for a south-facing terrace.
However, we are uncertain if the plot’s shape is ideal. We want to build a house with approximately 170m² (1,830 sq ft) of living space and an attached double carport. The house should be positioned as close to the street as possible to have the largest possible garden behind it. Since the plot narrows toward the street, not much plot area is “lost,” but this likely means the house and garage will need to be planned further back.
We are worried about making a mistake or overlooking something in such an important decision and would appreciate any feedback on our considerations or even new ideas.
Thank you very much in advance!

Is there a slope at all? How steep is it, and in which direction? Flat land! I’ve never been there, but that’s how it’s supposed to be 🙂
@LisaO
Go for it! If you can afford it and everything else checks out?!
It’s nice when you have a connection to the plot.
What might seem wrong to some can be exactly right for others.
And if you share your floor plan here and post 150 or 250 messages, then you can also invite me to the topping out ceremony 🙂

This will be quite difficult since, unfortunately, I don't have much to say. The more you read here, the more you realize how much you don’t know or haven’t considered. 😀
Thank you very, very much for the answers! I don’t have time for a detailed response right now, but I wanted to express my gratitude in advance.

Something like this, for example.

It looks like there’s already preparation for another section to the south? The road probably wouldn’t be built like that without a reason, right? That’s exactly what it looks like to me.

To the east and southeast, it seems planting is planned? If a dense hedge goes there, I guess the view will be gone, right? That shouldn’t be a problem, since the hedge is certainly the responsibility of the property owner to plant and maintain. Then you just keep it at 1.5m (5 feet) high 😉

Is a basement planned?
