Hello everyone,
after a long search we have found a plot of land that we really like in terms of location (about 15 minutes on foot to the city, still very quiet at the edge of the forest, about 5 minutes to the highway...). However, there is of course a catch: the plot is on a rather steep north-facing slope, it drops 8 meters over 21 meters. We would like to build a turnkey house of about 170-180m², with standard to upscale fittings (important: underfloor heating, fireplace, large windows, garage, roof garden), two floors, whereby the lower floor either requires a rather thick slab or must be built on stilts. Three floors is too much for us, you have to climb more stairs and we also wouldn't really know what to do with all the space. In addition, of course, more earth would have to be moved then. We have already heard some estimates for the same assumptions ranging from €350,000 to €700,000 excluding the land. The soil survey is currently being planned; before that, the costs for slope stabilization, earthworks, etc. cannot be estimated anyway (prices vary between €30,000 and €100,000). What surprises me, however, is that the prices for the house overall vary so much. Has anyone of you built on a comparable slope and can perhaps say something about it? And if anyone can recommend a good architect or general contractor in [Saarland], feel free to share. Many thanks in advance and best regards
