A land with an architected villa

Posted in Uncategorized, Land&House at 5:32 pm by tesstess

Today we went to se another land in Grasse. The address is 314 Route de Saint Mathieu. With this land it’s both strong pros as quite strong cons (för- och nackdelar). Our general feeling is good. Anthony likes it a lot, me a little bit less, but I definitely can see me living there.

Price of land: ca 255 000 (when septic tank, water and taxes are paid).

Price of house: 250 000 with the key in the hand, meaning we can get it cheaper if we build the inside ourselves.

We made a personalized map on google maps where you can see the approximate borders of the land. We found the post on Seloger (link goes to the land).

The size of the land is 2500m2. That’s big, but the third which is closest to the road is very steep and there is not possible to make something on.

The photos are on the photo page under the 4th land. There you can also see the house itself. Before selling the land the owner laid an architect to draw the house. Because that we would have our own septic tank, the living surface is limited. They said 225 but we think it’s with garage.

The outside of the house is fixed but we are allowed to change the room layout inside. However the architect have made a solution possible to extend. There can be one more room added on the top floor, and the cave has windows so in there it can be rooms as well.
Pros:

  • The land is ca 100000 less expensive than land 3
  • Beautiful view
  • Quite a lot of sun even with the bad orientation
  • You don’t see the road below
  • You don’t see other into other houses, and they don’t see us
  • The bottom part of the land is forrest, fun for children
  • There are houses on left, right and behind = no surprises
  • Funny and personal house done by architect
  • Possibility to change room layout inside house
  • Lots of windows giving an open feeling inside
  • Possibility of swiming pool (not included in house price)

Cons:

  • Orientation is north-west
  • Noise from road below
  • The house is small
  • Outside of house fixed, not possible to change
  • No football field for children (they wouldn’t like football anyways)
  • The road up to the house is turning sharp and dangerously small
  • We would have to drive children everywhere (as for most lands infact)

Dreaming…

Hello friends! Sorry I didn’t write you for so long. Time goes increadably fast when working.

Here are some friends from work. Ruben, Raul and Maggie (much more complex name in Polish, but I’m still not able to remember).

But now I have something funny to tell! Me and Anthony are beginning to think about buying a land and building a house. It’s something very big. A big engagement for us, but a dream we both had since a long time.

We have just began to look at what is possible with our budget and today we visited the first lands for sale. No, infact we saw one yesterday too, but it’s too expensive and out of scope. On monday we will see a company constructing houses to see what will be possible to get for the money that will be left over from buying one of those crazily expensive in this region.

On my photopage there are photos from the three lands we have seen. It’s the third one we are really in love with, both of us. The second and third lands are here: Google-maps

Look and enjoy!
