      You have to figure out how much you will spend for demolition and clearing of the crap and materials to rebuild. You just cants say such stupid stuff without knowing if you are going to lose money. You sound like a renter...not an owner. It gets expensive...more than if you started on an empty lot. I bought a plot of land for 100 dollars in Sayre, OK. I could not build on it because I found out it had and underground house....with no idea how that happened or how long ago.....way to expensive...so moved back to az.

      The house I am renting just sold for 7.2 million it is on 1 acre of land. The house itself is a teardown and the land will be redeveloped in the next few years.😂😂... I would like to see the phone that could buy that here.

    I remember your friend Ilya. You climbed the mountain with him. And there was another time when you went outside the city one day -- I think it was in the morning. I don't remember what the purpose of that venture was. I'm not sure, but I think we watched the sun come up that morning. You're a good friend, Dan, and Ilya looks like a good friend, too. You are a blessed man. Ilya has a lot of hard work ahead of him, but when you own the land, it is rewarding. He has some sweet-sounding birds on his land. Sati is camera shy today. Say hi to Susie. P.S. I think "outskirts" was a good choice -- outskirts of town.

    Maybe get two goats to clear the land & you get milk/cheese etc..
    The land looks great, nice & fertile.. good for fruit trees & vegetables.
    Here in New Zealand it looks very much the same, we'd turn open side shipping containers connected side by side to make a home with glass where the doors were & we'd use ground screws for piles/footings.. rain water/waste tanks & go solar.
    Here in NZ that piece of land you'd be paying at least $200,000 - 300,000 nz

      @MsMelkus 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      that is why that land is so cheap. Most probably it is for summer usage only. However on some dachas people prefer to live in a winter - so they combine together to hire a snow cleaner after each snow to clean the road.
      Goverment has no responsibility for dacha type of land and it makes it so cheap.
      Village land plot usually much expensive, because goverment has to build roads and all other infrastructure.
