Finished house project on 6 acres

The legendary six hundred square meters to this day do not cease to excite the imagination of their owners and still remain a dream object for many of our fellow citizens, whom fate has not awarded their own land. It just so happened that for a long time six hundred square meters were the dream of every citizen once great country, which was then called the USSR.

Six hundred square meters was akin to a flight into space, and the happy owners of a small piece of land tried to use it as efficiently as possible. A small house was necessarily built here, rather like a utility room.

A brazier was placed in the most honorable place. Planted fruit trees, and of course, the beds were broken, which occupied a significant part of the site. And along the fence, raspberries were grown, which also performed decorative functions. Potatoes were necessarily planted, which at all times was enough in vegetable stores and in most cases it was much cheaper to buy than to grow on your own garden plot... But they put her in jail anyway!

Citizens with prosperity, who were lucky enough to buy their own car, built garages on the same six hundred square meters. One thing was invariable. Everyone was given the same amount of land, regardless of wealth and position in society. This is how the concept of equality of all and in everything was realized. Therefore, over time, six acres became a household name.

Six acres forever!

Yes indeed most of us got this one not large plot free of charge, as a gift from a state that has gone into oblivion. Six hundred square meters are passed from generation to generation, carefully preserving everything that ancestors built on it. Because there is no need to hope for such gifts for a long time.

And our six hundred square meters are still the subject of special care of each family member. Therefore, the layout of our six hundred square meters is still as relevant as before. There is no limit to perfection and constant restructuring is only beneficial.

We strive to implement all the newest on our own small area land. Fortunately, technical progress allows us to do this endlessly.

How to plan a plot of land

It is known that it is more difficult to plan six acres than a large piece of land. Limited sizes make their own adjustments to our fantasies. And yet there are optimal options for planning a plot of 6 acres. First of all, you need to allocate space for the most important elements, which, in our opinion, must definitely hit in the garden.

First of all, it is a residential building. In second place is the recreation area. Then additional outbuildings, and, of course, a place for a car. Now it is not a luxury, but a means of transportation necessary for every family.

Garden beds for vegetables and greens, and, of course, an orchard, even if it consists of two or three trees, still do not go out of fashion.

The recreation area is most often used as a playground, and the most inventive summer residents manage to put a small pool on six drains. A brazier and a gazebo were, are and will always be on every suburban area!

And if there is even a small body of water nearby, prepare a place for the boat. Let's not forget to allocate space for the ATV. Nowadays it is fashionable to drive into the forest in this amazing car not only to pick mushrooms, but sometimes just to ride.

How to transform the landscape

Nevertheless, there are more and more areas with a minimal variety of buildings. Everything is limited here residential building and a parking lot. And the rest of the space turns into a recreation area, where the rules of modern landscape design prevail.

It is better to entrust the landscape design of the site to specialists, but many people prefer to do this difficult work on their own. As a rule, this requires a lot of physical effort.

I remember how I myself tried to remove several small trees, not even suspecting that the hardest thing is not to cut down a tree, and in the future to get rid of numerous stumps. Here you need to know well the differences in the root system of birch, aspen or spruce, so as not to literally strain during a seemingly simple work.

Leveling the site is just the beginning of the hard and painstaking work that you can do with your own hands for years. It is better to contact specialists here. If the site has a slope, then it is easier to decorate it with elements of landscape design.

The visibility of such elements will be better than on a flat area. These elements can be ordinary stones, they are perfect for any landscape.

Technical progress at the service of summer residents

We no longer wonder why we so often take a photo of a plot of 6 acres. And how could it be otherwise, because each of us always has a camera with “endless film” in our pocket. Many people prefer to make video, including with the help of a frame copter, in order to more accurately and more functionally plan the site.

But until recently, a similar idea was from the realm of an unrealizable fantasy. Aerial photography, as it is correctly called, is very helpful in garden planning.

Now this service is quite accessible to each of us.

What you need to pay special attention to

We strive for an autonomous life in order to be as independent as possible from anyone or anything. We are trying to dig a well on the same six acres. We are trying to drill a well to the depth where there is drinking water... We stock up on a small power plant of our own in case of power outages.

We are still trying to grow potatoes for the same reasons. The desire for independence, like many other things, has no limit and limitations. Therefore, on our six hundred square meters, we try to accommodate everything conceivable, and sometimes even the most inconceivable. For example, a small corral for livestock, which is bred not only for decorative purposes.

And what, it's not bad at all to cook an omelet in the morning from homemade still warm eggs. But still, do not forget that the suburban area, even the smallest of only six acres, is intended primarily for recreation. Although, as someone once wisely remarked, rest is also work.

Planning to build suburban area in 6 acres? And do you want to end up with not just a vegetable garden with a utility block, but a full-fledged residential complex with all the amenities? I will talk about projects that allow you to comfortably place a convenient, functional and beautiful house even in such a confined space.

Project "Z1"

The house for 6 acres, built according to the project "Z1" looks very compact outwardly, but at the same time it allows to place inside everything that a small family needs for permanent residence... Can be supplemented roof windows and even a garage at the request of the owners.

When arranging window blocks in the attic roof, I recommend not to save money and install double-glazed windows with maximum noise insulation. Otherwise, drops falling on the windows during the rain will fill the house with a drumbeat, interfering with the normal rest of residents and frightening pets.
