ᐅ Small Plot, Narrow Driveway – Required Space for Turning Around

Hello everyone,
We have purchased a backland plot in the city and would like to start building on it now.
Our problem is the 3-meter (10 feet) wide and 25-meter (82 feet) long driveway.
As can be seen in the picture, a swept path curve has already been drawn to the lower area, so that we can reach the 90-degree, also 3-meter (10 feet) wide driveway in front of the house.
However, we don’t want to have to back out of this long driveway forever and definitely want an option to turn around both from the garage at the top and from the parking space in front of the house below.
Since the plot is already small and we want to keep as much garden space as possible, we are reluctant to move the house further east.
Are there also reverse swept path curves that show the driving route?
How much space do we need? Is the swept path already drawn sufficient to turn around with a single maneuver?
Personally, I see the problem more from the garage at the top than from the parking space. Do you agree?
We need to split the front part of the plot soon, and therefore we have to determine exactly how much space we require.
Our car is an Opel Astra (approximately 4.4 meters (14.4 feet) long).
Or do you think a diagonal line would even be more practical?
Thank you all in advance for any help and feedback.

So, how was the process of backing out of the property? How many maneuvers did you need to turn around? Yes, the main question was about the space needed for the car. I once made a sketch where I planned roughly over 4m (13 feet) on the west side, 3m (10 feet) on the north side, and the corner at the driveway. It looked doable—just judging by feel. Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with car turning circles. If you want, I can look up the sketch again.
How did you mark out the area?

I’ve tried this extensively on the railing here, and it’s more than enough.
However, you have to reverse into the garage (we probably won’t build a garage anyway, so there will be a 3.2-meter (10.5 feet) wide gap). In other words: when entering, you need to make a three-point turn, and when leaving, you can drive out forwards directly.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the sketch with me right now; I hope it’s still understandable.
