Hello, we have a choice between two plots of land and are a bit unsure which one is better. The municipal one is located to the north near the forest, the private one to the south. What would you recommend?

I would trust your building intuition! I also had a choice and almost made a mistake because I focused too much on the plan. In your case, my gut feeling says go with the one by the forest.

Even though I love the forest, I would choose the southern one here. In my opinion, it is much better for building. On the other hand, is it 662 or 562 square meters (7,124 or 6,038 square feet) with the other one?

The one by the forest is 662, so slightly larger. We find it difficult because living by the forest definitely has a certain charm, but having sunshine in the garden is also important to me.

The forest next to the house is fantastic on warm summer days. Just a few meters’ walk, and the temperatures become very comfortable immediately. The forest smells great. Watching a fox, a deer, or a woodpecker from bed in the morning is a simple yet valuable experience. At this time of year, you can also assess the shade patterns quite well.

Orienting the garden to the south and away from the street provides light and privacy.
In areas with relatively dense development, a location on the edge is worth its weight in gold.
The most valuable tip comes from @Matthias 40 : Trust your own feelings.

How do the plots compare in price per square meter? Are they the same?
