300k budget for a 130 sqm single-family house?

If you have never built anything, why do you have to share your opinion with us here? I mean, of course you can build one meter away from the street, but I know it differently. But you go ahead and assume 160m2...

No offense, but there are also people who have knowledge about building even if they themselves have not built yet and possibly even more than one builder....

Honestly, I don't quite understand the problem. You can build a nice house with a corresponding garden on both 600 and 800 sqm. The question is only what you ultimately want. I personally prefer large plots, but as I said, it's a matter of taste. However, one should keep in mind that much can be built around and dumbly on the house. You can't change the plot anymore if it is too small or becomes unsuitable afterwards! Then the only thing to do is: Go over [Los] ...

Like most people here, I am in the planning phase, and it is my right to participate here, just to make that clear.

And a house with 130 m² of living space does not have 130 m² of footprint (unless it’s a bungalow).
I never wrote anywhere that something is built one meter from the boundary. But garages are usually built on the boundary, not meters away from it.

If you don’t like that others don’t share your opinion, then maybe you shouldn’t share your opinion.

It always depends on how the plot is shaped.
There are definitely plots where the front is wider than the depth to the back, e.g., 25m wide and 20m deep.
If you then have to keep 3m to the boundary in front and build a roughly 10 x 10 m house on it, you still have 7m space at the back, while in width, even with a double garage, you can’t use about 9 m or that part of the garden is by the street, which probably few people want. Therefore, to say that with 650 m² you definitely have enough space or to estimate that at all without knowing the plot and the planning is not possible!

Just for clarification: We have a house with approximately 140 sqm of living space on a 650 sqm plot. About 110 sqm are built over by the house. If we had a town villa with exactly the same building area, it would come down to around +-165 sqm of living space. With a 6-meter deep front courtyard/front garden, carport, and garage, there is still a lot of garden space left with a plot ratio of 2:3, despite our two oversized terraces and 150 cm wide paths around the house. "Plenty of garden" is always subjective, but our garden is never described as small or adequate, rather as generous. Edit: and even someone who is not a house builder can understand this if they take paper and pencil in hand.

Exactly, ratio 2:3... If the whole thing were 1:1 or even 3:2, then it would look completely different behind the house...

But a blanket statement like the one above, "there is no more room for a garden on 600sqm," is total nonsense. At least here, larger plots are rather the exception.
