You have to figure out how much you will spend for demolition and clearing of the crap and materials to rebuild. You just cants say such stupid stuff without knowing if you are going to lose money. You sound like a renter...not an owner. It gets expensive...more than if you started on an empty lot. I bought a plot of land for 100 dollars in Sayre, OK. I could not build on it because I found out it had and underground house....with no idea how that happened or how long ago.....way to expensive...so moved back to az.

Thank you Dan for giving us a glimpse into the Russian Countryside. I did enjoy this video very much and it was very nice that we got to see some of your friends.

The country areas (rural areas) are absolutely beautiful, and they have wells on them - huge bonus!

I don't remember what the purpose of that venture was. I'm not sure, but I think we watched the sun come up that morning. You're a good friend, Dan, and Ilya looks like a good friend, too. You are a blessed man. Ilya has a lot of hard work ahead of him, but when you own the land, it is rewarding. He has some sweet-sounding birds on his land. Sati is camera shy today. Say hi to Susie. P.S. I think "outskirts" was a good choice -- outskirts of town.

So, a dasha was a summer homestead. But now people live there and homestead full time. I love this! I’m happy for your friend!

Maybe get two goats to clear the land & you get milk/cheese etc.. The land looks great, nice & fertile.. good for fruit trees & vegetables. Here in New Zealand it looks very much the same, we'd turn open side shipping containers connected side by side to make a home with glass where the doors were & we'd use ground screws for piles/footings.. rain water/waste tanks & go solar.

that is why that land is so cheap. Most probably it is for summer usage only. However on some dachas people prefer to live in a winter - so they combine together to hire a snow cleaner after each snow to clean the road. Goverment has no responsibility for dacha type of land and it makes it so cheap. Village land plot usually much expensive, because goverment has to build roads and all other infrastructure.
