My property rises almost a meter over 35m... I will compensate for that with a terraced garden. Everything else, excavating and supporting, filling and supporting... you simply cannot afford that...
Completely flat is expensive. Small steps and it fits. 1.5 m is not much compared to many properties, but too much to cost-effectively adjust everything to one level.
Over 32 meters of diagonal, that is practically 2.7 degrees and thus absolute peanuts. An (still highly relative!) 11ant only becomes a mountain out of a molehill because the OP wants to level the entire property with water and spirit level instead of just taking care of the house's footprint and its immediate surroundings. In the relevant area, we are therefore presumably talking about an order of magnitude of around forty centimeters.
So:
These are still all considerations. Whether I want to "level" the entire property or just parts of it is not at all clarified yet. That is exactly why I am grateful for any hints.

@11ant: A forum is there to ask questions. You don’t have to answer if my questions bother you.
But not to first cut them into pieces and distribute them like a scavenger hunt across multiple threads. If I want to play "Memory" (in thread 123 there is essential background information to answer a question from the same OP in thread 789), I don’t do that here. For participants with an 11ant-memory this is merely an unwelcome mental exercise, for participants without an 11ant-memory even an exhausting excess. And if those are not only readers but also responders, rudeness is added. And all just because you enjoy not putting the dog and the tail in the same basket :-(
Whether I want to "level" the entire property or only parts of it is not decided at all. That is exactly why I am grateful for hints.
By the way, you did not ask whether we advise you to opt for an appropriate or a total operation, but you already predetermined the therapy as "put everything in water and level":
These should be balanced so that the property is actually even. Whether retaining wall or slope? I do not know that yet. I am grateful for tips.
So in any case, a sledgehammer to crack a nut, only "whether retaining wall or slope" was to be read as a question.
