I decided to start a dacha life.
The Russian term "Dacha" is often said to have no exact counterpart in English.
There is a wikipedia article that can explain this term. Dacha - Wikipedia
Objectives:
1. Have a second home in case of a natural disaster
2. Try to grow some vegetables
3. Escape the city for the weekend
The weekend before last I traveled around some plots of land for sale.
The price difference is huge. There are plots that are located in a protected area and are connected to water, natural gas and electricity. In this case, a monthly payment is charged for the protection and cleaning of roads.
There are plots with electricity only. There are no monthly payments.
The difference in price is 3-5 times.
I bought an "extreme" plot 0.45 acres that only has electricity. About 2 hours by car from my house (1.50 on motorway and 10 minutes on gravel).
Beautiful place. Not far from the river (30 min), shop (10 min), building materials store (15 min). I saw partridges, a falcon and roe deer near my place.
I'll try to start here.
The plan is as follows (for 1 year):
1. Ground preparation (removal of weeds, ants and grass)
2. Building a fence
3. Digging a well
4. Buying a septic tank
5. Construction of a summer house
In the future, for 3-4 years, the construction of a residential building.
Weekend 1 - cut 3/4 of the grass
