Ideal Plot Size for building a house?

Question:I have a plot of land 730 s.q.m large, by the sea in Mauritius. I would like to know if it is possible to build a nice house on a plot this size. I want a drive way, Seperate 2-car Garage with guest accomodation attatched on its rear, a small swimming pool, and a small japanese style garden.

Is the land big enough or should i consider moving to a larger plot inland to build my dream home?

Answers:
In order to answer this question you need to know the size of the all the structures you want, the size of pool you want, the size of the garden, the actual dimensions of your lot - not just square meters, and also the building code requirements for the area your lot is. With out this information all anyone can do is guess if you have enough room.

The size of everything and the layout in your lot will determine if you need more room. Start off by drawing up a "desired" size of each item - house, garage/guest room, pool, and garden. Then place these into a drawing of the lot to see if there appears to be enough room for your tastes. If things don't look right and you do not want to decrease any sizes, then you may need a bigger lot.

You may need to speak to a designer to assist you with this, but if you know what you want then you should be able to do this much by yourself.

I hope that this gives you some assistance with your question.
