Help with Homestead Site Planning

[aggieman12]

I just posted the FEMA Map showing grade lines as well as a first draft at a site plan.

Blue represents the large pond and waterway that brings water to the pond.

Orange represents workshop and man cave. Red is an area for the house.

Ive got an acre with a smaller house(3500 sq ft) 3 car garage, swimming pool, and 55x70 shop.

Our pool house is going to be up against the house to keep it from being too cluttered. Bathroom, shower, small storage area. Ill get it done before next summer.

What he listed will be closer to 1.5 million or more if I had to guess.

I am fully aware of the costs associated with this project - which is one of the main reasons I am putting so much thought into the layout. I own a Commercial Construction Company and will be managing the work myself.

The land being no cost really frees up some capital to build an awesome place.

I'm sure it isn't a major concern for you but make sure you look into property taxes and what your going to be looking at for insurance purposes as well. You may be able to reduce your long term costs if you design/build things certain ways.

I hadn't thought about that - good point.
