The Langendorf estate (now Sokolniki) was located on the banks of the Pregel River, 11 km west of Tapiau (now Gvardeysk).
Since ancient times, there was a Prussian fortress on this site, transferred by the Order to the leader of the Sambian Prussians named Sklodo (1200 - 1260). The fortress served as a refuge for the local population in case of Lithuanian raids.
The Prussian Sklodo became the ancestor of the noble family von Perbandt (initially, his descendants were mentioned under the surname "Windekaim" and only from 1426 as "Perbandt").
Sklodо had two sons: one, named Wergule, faithfully served the Order and took part in the crusade against the Lithuanians, the other, named Nalube, although he was baptized as the father and brother of Wargule, was the leader of the uprising against the Order, who capitulated at the walls of the Königsberg castle before the superior forces of the Order.
In 1472, Brosum Perbandt became the owner of Langendorf, after which the estate belonged to the von Perbandt family for more than 700 years, until 1945.
Members of the genus von Perbandt belonged to the richest nobility in East Prussia, were members of the Grand Master's council and held the posts of Amtshauptmann (senior official at the head of the administrative district - Amtsbezirk) in Ragnit, Memel, Pr. Holland etc. Special mention was given to Otto Wilhelm von Perbandt (1635 - 1706) (first portrait), the former Amtshauptmann, Obermarschall (high marshal) and Landhofmeister (zemstvo chamberlain), who, in honor of the coronation of Friedrich I in 1701, became the first owner of the Schwarzen Adlerordens (Order of the Black eagle - the highest order of the Kingdom of Prussia). His portrait was one of the few valuables that could be removed from Langendorf in 1945.
In 1865, Georg von Perbandt (1825-1907) (second portrait) built a new manor house in Langendorf with outbuildings and a large park. master's house,built in neo-gothic style, in plan it was the letter "G" with a square tower in the corner. The best estates in England and Scotland served as models for its construction.
One of the guests of the estate recalled that Langendorf was always full of guests. Entering the manor house, it immediately became clear that you were in an East Prussian noble residence: almost life-size family portraits, an elk head with mighty horns above the door, a rough carpet on dark tiles, fancy shiny lacquered black cabinets with gold panels, made of beautiful old mahogany.
Georg von Perbandt was married to Conradine Philippine Thaer (third portrait), granddaughter of the German scientist, physician, agrarian and founder of the "Landwirtschaftliche Akademie Möglin" (Meglin Agricultural Academy) Albrecht Thaers, whom he met during his studies at the said academy. Their wedding took place in 1851.
The manor park was located on the right bank of the Pregel River on the site of an ancient Prussian fortress with a forburg enclosed by a double wall. A family cemetery was arranged on the basis of the fortress, where Georg von Perbandt, the son of Georg von Perbandt and Conradine Philippine Thaer, was buried last in 1929.
The size of the estate exceeded 750 hectares. Meat and dairy cattle breeding, which were intensively practiced on the estate for several decades, was an important part of the economy. Since the middle of the 19th century, there has been a dairy factory on the estate, in which along with regular dairy productsengaged in the production of milk sugar and milk powder. 
The mooring for ships located on the estate made it possible to use the waterway for cargo and passenger traffic from Königsberg and Tapiau.
The last head of the family Albrecht von Perbandt (1894 - 1958) had two sons: Albrecht von Perbandt (1921 - 1941), who died near Leningrad, and Sklode von Perbandt (1927 - 1945), who died in Zinten (now Kornevo) . 
In 1946 Langendorf was renamed into Sokolniki settlement.
IN last years Soviet history the central part of the Langendorf estate, together with the castle building, was occupied by the placement of a base for heavy trucks. Most of the buildings were in a dilapidated state, the territory of the estate was covered with road slabs and dumps. The house was not destroyed to the end, the foundation and partially the first floor remained: after several fires and reconstructions, the castle lost the second floor and its main architectural decoration - the towers, although a number of German sources mention its loss in 1956.
Now the estate is located recreational and health complex Langendorf (
Many people face the question of how to create your own estate? The creation of an estate is the creation of one's country life, only the expanses are wider. Create an estate today.
How to choose a place for an estate
Let's talk about how to choose a place for the Estate, and how much land is needed.
The easiest.
1. Open satellite map, we choose the area according to our landmarks - a forest, a lake, a pond, a river, settlements, and study everything that is nearby.
2. We open it, find the selected places on it and check the availability of ownership of the selected land.
3. If we see that the land is owned, we are looking for advertisements for the sale. Here you have to work hard. If the land is for sale, you will definitely find it. Maybe not all, but half of the selected places you will find on sale. Try to find an ad from the owner, call him, find out the price.
4. If we see that the land is not owned, we find which rural settlements the land belongs to. Need to get in touch with the leaders rural settlements, clarify the category of land, the type of permitted use and the possibility of acquiring land on lease.
Departure to the place
And only when the above work is done, organize a visit to the place.
On the spot, look not only at the land, but also pay attention to the following factors:
1. where are the power lines,
2. determine the distance from the main road,
3. check all access roads, you will know them on the map.
4. what kind of soil the roads have, what will happen to it after the rain,
5. what is the condition of the reservoirs and approaches to them,
6. what kind of vegetation is on the land, determine the fertility of the soil by vegetation
7. what trees grow in the area and in the nearby forest
8. go to the nearest locality see infrastructure.
Before you go to make a deal, develop your strategy for the development of the future Estate. Two hectares of land is not enough, believe me. But for the organization and development of the estate, one hectare is enough.
We are already used to the fact that 20 acres are enough for a country house. This is a house and a garden with a garden, neighbors behind a fence, a road under your feet.
The estate will also have neighbors, only not 5 meters from the house, but at a distance of 200-300 meters.
How to get neighbors, we analyze this in detail in the training on creating an Estate.
Estate Structure
The estate must have a certain structure. Mandatory conditions: a hedge, a house for year-round use, a garden, a kitchen garden and the creation of a pond on the estate. All this is written in the Land Code.
Try to think over the issue of generating income in the Estate. Ask yourself: “And what will I live on in the Manor? Where will I work to provide my family not only with products grown and produced on the estate, but also not to deprive them of all the delights of life?
Do you know that in the Manor you can become a wealthy person, and at the same time work 2-4 hours a day?
I have developed a whole . Why am I so smart?
How can you not become smart here, when for four years all agriculture has been turned inside out with all the techniques and technologies. And I can tell you that small lands have advantages over industrial scale.
Remember the saying...? "Small spool but precious." This is 100% applicable to Estates.
Free to get the land under family estate legally possible in Russia since 2015. In this case, one should be based on the very concept of the estate, which includes a detailed description of the allotment, starting from the purposes of using the land and ending with a list of buildings that should be built on the territory. The order of the procedure, as well as all sorts of nuances, will help to carry out the process and get the land area free of charge.
The legal definition of a family homestead explains that it is considered to be an allotment of land that is not subject to division, transferred into the possession of a family or an individual adult citizen of the Russian Federation for the purpose of maintaining a household plot and building a house with subsequent living in it.
In this case, the emphasis should be placed precisely on providing a plot for the use of a family, on the living conditions of future generations in a building erected on an exploited territory. If a foreign person wants to receive land, you will first need to apply for citizenship Russian Federation and only then apply for the acquisition of allotment.
The status of a family estate clearly excludes the sale, exchange, donation, registration for lease use to another person and other options for legal transactions regarding the territory used. The transfer of an allotment can be carried out only by the right of inheritance or on the basis of a voluntary assignment to one of the close members of the family.
It is allowed to receive a plot for the creation of a family homestead on a gratuitous basis only once. In this case, the allotment is handed over for life possession with the possibility of transferring the land area by inheritance.
An obligatory characteristic of a site used as a family estate is its area, which is at least 1 ha. This size is optimal for the construction of a house and buildings necessary for conducting economic activities, as well as the development of such areas as crop production, animal husbandry. The latter can act as an additional or main income for the family living on the site. In addition, other options for arranging the territory are also acceptable, including the construction of artificial reservoirs, planting forests, and so on.
The standard size of a plot for a family estate may vary depending on the regional location of such - in some areas there may be deviations up or down. There are no other restrictions in terms of the size of the territory for the estate, in other words, a competent justification will allow you to get 10, 20, 30 or more hectares of land for use.
Where can I get
A plot for a family estate can be obtained in any part of the country, since the state has identified vast territories for the creation of such. The only condition here is the appropriate category of designated purpose of the land where the plot of interest is located.
A list of territories allotted for the creation of an estate with the construction of a house and other buildings is available in each regional cadastre department under the local administration. The list is formed by authorized persons in the regional centers, and then approved and certified by the federal cadastre body.
It is important to clarify that the interested person cannot independently select an allotment for creating an estate, since the list of potential plots for these purposes was previously determined and approved by the municipality and federal authorities. The only option may be the selection of already approved areas, fixed as territories for family homesteads.
The procedure for obtaining an allotment for a family estate
To obtain a land area, you will need to contact the administration of the region where you would like to live and write an application of the established form. After the consent of the authorities, the allotment is given to a specific family or citizen free of charge and with the right to use for life.
If 3 or more families are interested in creating an estate, each of them must apply. In this case, the territory is assigned the status of a village, and the municipality undertakes the obligation to lay engineering networks in the specified area.
One way or another, in order to legitimize the ownership of the allotment, it will be necessary to carry out the following actions:
- Selection of a site from the list of territories approved for the creation of family homesteads. Obtaining an extract from the USRN on the absence of an owner and confirmation that such is in the possession of the state.
- Clarification of information through a visit to the land committee regarding the presence of encumbrances on the selected site, for example, arrests, prohibitions. If there are no restrictions, you should obtain a document confirming this fact.
- Submission of an application for the provision of land for a family homestead to local governments.
Along with the application form, you will need to provide a development plan for the site, as well as a document on the survey and registration of its boundaries. Additionally, a permit from the cadastre for the use of the land should be attached.
Here it is worth clarifying that there is no clearly regulated procedure for obtaining an allotment for an estate. In any case, you will need to contact the cadastral authorities to obtain an approved list of territories, and then visit the administration in order to clarify the progress of the procedure and submit an application.
Features of the use of the territory
Family estates are not taxed, since the land is allocated for the family to live and provide it with everything necessary for life, by growing vegetables and fruits on the land, as well as raising livestock. According to this, the estate is not considered a commercial entity whose activities are aimed at making a profit, but at the same time, citizens have the right to sell surpluses of the resulting products.
An important point is the possibility of farming on the estate only if the use of the allotment is formalized. In a different situation, the operation of the site is equated to the unauthorized seizure of the territory, which implies a fine and other sanctions from the state.
To be eligible for ownership, the following conditions must be met:
- erect a capital residential building within 1 year from the date of receipt of the land;
- carry out the registration procedure for all family members in the built house.
Mandatory to conduct on the territory of the estate economic activity any kind, such as planting a garden.
Manor Requirements
The status of the family homestead assigned to the site must be confirmed without fail based on the fulfillment of a number of requirements for it.
The list of mandatory actions performed on the territory of the allotment includes:
- construction of a residential building within 3 years from the date of transfer of the site for the creation of an estate;
- the construction of a capital fence, a fence that separates the territory used for the estate from the land located nearby;
- on all sides, the allotment should be surrounded by paths and paths, while the size of the latter should be 2-3 times less than the width of the roads.
As a fence, regulations recommend the construction of a hedge. Vegetation will not only provide silence, but also greatly improve the air quality near the estate, hiding it from dust, polluted air and protecting it from wind erosion.
The fence parameters must meet the following requirements:
- the width should be in the range from 3 to 10 meters;
- the allowable height varies from 15 to 20 meters.
It is also necessary to maintain a natural fence in the proper form, cutting it in a timely manner, shaping and providing the plants with proper care.
Additionally, all estate owners, without exception, are required to carry out the following activities:
- preservation of the state of the land and its fertility through measures aimed at its restoration;
- development of land and its intended use, aimed at protecting land from overgrowing with weeds and other vegetation in a chaotic manner;
- to carry out measures for the protection and protection of water bodies, lands, forests and other resources, using various methods, the main of which is the observance of fire safety.
And, of course, living in natural area, you should take care of its cleanliness, avoiding the creation of landfills, excluding contamination of the soil and the surrounding area with various hazardous wastes.
A family or a citizen of Russia who has reached the age of majority can receive a land allotment for the creation of a family estate. You will need to carefully study all the nuances of the process and prepare Required documents. The procedure can be carried out only once by submitting an appropriate application to the territorial self-government body.
There are many types of real estate - estate, country cottages, townhouses, penthouses, estates. The latter are very rare, but were common before. In the article we will decipherestate definition, we will tell you what it is, we will give an example of modern real estate that fits this term.
Estate - what is it
The meaning of the word "estate"deciphered differently in different dictionaries . For example, the historian V. O. Klyuchevsky says that this is “a site of state or church land given by the sovereign or ecclesiastical institution in personal servant's possession under the condition of service, that is, as a reward for service and together as a means of service."
Estate in Ancient Rus' is a form of ownership land shares, usually a large land plot of at least 10 hectare with a variety of buildings, including residential buildings, inventory, fruit-bearing trees, fields. The manor is usually at the head of the estate.What is a homestead? This is a large house with an area of 500 square meters and more, usually two- or three-story, located on a site with landscaping and recreational areas.
The system of land ownership - estates - arose in Ancient Rus' at the end XV century, when there was a feudal build. Initially allotmentsprovided public or military ranks, and the size of the allotment directly depended on the position held and services to the Motherland. Servants of the lower military rank received from 27 hectares, the highest - 270 hectares. At the same time, the employee did not have the right to choose - he could only agree to the proposed option or be left with nothing. Ownership of the estate was limited to the life of the employee and was conditional - after his death family could not apply for the land. In history there are cases in which estates were inherited, but usually this happened with a family of higher ranks.
Ownership of the estate imposed certain obligations. For example, each landowner - the owner of the estate - carried military service. The landlords had to send from every 27 hectares in the cultivated field to send on a hike tostateservice of one person in full uniform and on a horse.
The ownership of the estate was combined with the ownership of the peasants who inhabited it. That is, the landowner received not only the estate and many hectares of land, but also the labor force.
By Decree on unanimity , published in 1714, the estate and estates merged into one type of residential property. And already in early XVIII century, a law was passed on the transfer of estates to ownership. The estates became ancestral.The ancestral home isa plot with houses, land, a manor, inventory that was inherited. That is, it was owned by several generations of the same family until end - sale, exchange or other format of change of ownership.
The estate, which was combined with the estate, is a similar form of ownership. It also included land, peasants, inventory, residential and non-residential buildings. But, unlike estates, fiefdom could be inherited. This is the main distinguishing feature.
Subsequently, after combining two almost equivalent concepts, several varieties estates - free, reserved, majoratnye, tribal. The most common type of real estate is family estates. Whole families lived in them. The head of the family often managed affairs, but could not conduct real estate transactions without the consent of other family members. The estate was passed on by inheritance, most often to sons. If there were no sons in the family, the eldest daughter inherited, while the other daughters were also considered owners of real estate.
Mainestate signs
🔹 Large area.Even in Ancient Rus', the lower ranks received 27–80 hectares of land. And the standard area of the estate starts from 100 hectares. IN modern understanding an estate is a plot with an area of more than 1 ha, most often - from 100 ha. For comparison, even in summer cottages there are only 6 acres, and private houses and country cottages are being built on 5-20 acres. Residents of apartments are generally limited in space and have only 20–100 m² of living space on average.
🌊 Your own pond.A prerequisite for creating an estate is the presence of a reservoir. If not, make an artificial pond. It performs several functions at once. The first is fire safety: in case of fire, water can be taken from the reservoir to extinguish. The second is aesthetic appeal: houses near water bodies, other things being equal, are always valued higher. The third is commercial: if you wish, you can stock the pond with fish and sell fish, earning more on this. Also earlier reservoirs were used for various holidays.
🌲 Your forest.If it is not there, the forest is created artificially by planting perennial trees. In the forest, you can pick berries and mushrooms to make money selling them. Today, the presence of a forest is not a prerequisite for creating an estate in Russia.
🏠 Big house.In traditional estates, landlords lived in large estates. They had separate bedrooms for each member of the family, large halls for receiving guests and holding balls, separate rooms for servants, kitchens, and dining rooms. The facade of the house was necessarily beautiful. It was decorated with turrets, stones, balconies, columns or other elements, depending on the chosen style.
⛔ Lack of streets.Modern estates may have streets, but the layout of buildings is usually chaotic. In ancient Rus', the landowner's estate was located far from outbuildings and peasant houses. Today residential buildings can be adjacent to stables, bases for farm animals, garages, fields and other areas, buildings. Various residential and non-residential buildings are usually built in place where there is free space.
⛺ Distance from the city.The estates are located outside the city, at a distance of at least 2-3 kilometers. Therefore, such housing is environmentally friendly. The estates themselves can be completely autonomous: for example, boiler houses, wind farms, reservoirs for supplying clean water can be located on the territory. drinking water and other objects. Depending on the size of the territory, it may even contain shops - grocery, household, and others.
🌾 Agricultural land.On the territory of the estate there are necessarily fields for growing crops, because the inhabitants earn a living from agriculture. They grow potatoes, corn, beets or other crops, they breed farm animals for meat or sell milk, eggs, wool, and other derivatives. In modern miniature estates, animals and fields may not be.
💨 No fences.Most often, estates do not have the usual fences and fences. Their distinguishing feature is a hedge. Tall shrubs or strips of perennial trees are planted along the entire perimeter of the territory. Sometimes they make a kind of alley for walking - they make two parallel forest belts. The outer part fences off the estate, the inner part is needed to create an alley. Paths are made between forest belts or benches are installed. Such a fence is additionally protection from wind and snow - thanks to tall trees, the inhabitants of the estate suffer less from snow, wind, snowstorms.
👫 Lots of inhabitants.To serve a large area and engage in agriculture, you need a lot of inhabitants. Previously, all the work fell on the shoulders of the peasants, they were led by the landowner. Today, all residents unite in communities, distribute responsibilities among themselves and also engage in economic activities.
Three examples of modern estates
Paradise in Tyumen
On examining it, it is impossible to answer the question "who was the owner of the estate?". It was created in 2008, at a distance of 7 km from Tyumen. Initially, the form of ownership is common, that is, each person owns his own plot, but the entire estate is managed jointly, by a non-profit partnership.
The territory of the estate is a little more than 210 hectares. There are several ponds on the territory, two rivers flow nearby - Tura and Olkhovka. There is a large forest of mixed type, the relief is characterized by small hills. There is internet, cellular communication, water supply, gas pipeline, electricity, grocery store.
On the territory of the estate there is a large and rare range of medicinal herbs - more than 100 species. Fruit orchards cover 50 hectares. Growing den strawberries, the only one in the region. The number of families in the estate is 180, 69 families permanently reside in it.
Denevo in Pskov
The estate was created in 2004 in the Pskov region, on the basis of a small abandoned village. Today, all the houses in it have been bought out, the area is 220 hectares, and another 40 hectares are being developed additionally.
On the territory of the estate there is a common house, but each owner has his own residential building. They manage the estate together, the community has a charter that must be strictly followed. There are orchards, a small pond, a river with clear water, deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests.
Everyone who wants to become a member of the estate must propose a business plan to increase its value, as well as get to know the rest of the inhabitants and accept the charter. Today, 40 families live on the territory of Denevo, permanently - 12 families, or 24 people.
genericin Tula
The settlement Rodovoe in the Tula region is a union of family estates. As a settlement, it was founded in 2008. Today its area exceeds 600 hectares. There is no statutory document on the estate, everything is based on oral agreements, but today 150 families live there.
The territory has a forest and lakes suitable for swimming, as well as its own infrastructure. Yes, provided kindergarten, school and shops, there is a cellular connection. The only missing benefit of civilization is the gas pipeline.
Estates were common in Ancient Rus', but they still exist today. They are located outside the city and most often develop at the expense of Agriculture. The only difference between modern estates and traditional ones is that they are managed jointly by all residents. And many more residents of the modern estate are inspired by book "Ringing Cedars of Russia".
Knowing that I am creating my Family Homestead, my friend Irina recently asked me the following question:
“Eugene, is the Family Homestead generally accessible to a simple family? Or is it a dream for entrepreneurs and for those who have a decent amount of money to realize it?
While I was thinking about how to answer her, I had the idea that perhaps my answer to this question would be of interest not only to Irina, but also to my other acquaintances and to all those who would like or are just planning to start creating their Family Homestead. Therefore, I decided to write a detailed answer in the form of a separate article.
My opinion is based on personal experience and my observations of how my neighbors create their estates. More than 80 families create their family homesteads in our settlement!
I can be wrong about something, not know something, be mistaken in some moments, so everything written is just my personal opinion, but not the ultimate truth.
Yes, of course, the Family Homestead is available for a simple family!
I understand that the question is more related to finances, but I will allow myself a small preface ...
Anyone can start creating their estate for themselves, their families, their children and subsequent generations of their descendants. Even alone, if he or she has not started a family yet, or is an elderly person who wants to start creating an estate for their children or grandchildren.
In order to start, each of us has the most important and main tool. And you don’t need to buy it, look for it, borrow it from someone for a while, or somehow get it. We all have it from birth. I will not say anything new, this instrument is the Thought of Man.
You just need to allocate time, sit down (well, or lie down, get up - whatever is more convenient for you) and think. Think about what exactly you want to create, create.
First of all, the idea is to create an image of your estate, what it will be. Then it will be the turn to think about how to embody this image in the material plane of being.
In fact, I myself was not very aware of the importance of this moment, arguing - “what is there to think about, waste time, we need to act faster, saw, plant, dig, etc.”. After a while, I was more than once convinced of the fallacy of such reasoning, observing the disappointing result of my hasty actions.
And only after all these mental exercises, you have to start moving your arms and legs, so that everything you think up still materializes, and does not remain Pink dreams and fantasies.
What options does a “simple family” have?
You need to decide at what pace you will move to the land. What level of comfort do you need. Are you ready to live in a change house for the first time or do you immediately want a house with all communications.
We all have different capabilities, abilities, requirements and circumstances. Therefore, everyone needs to choose the most suitable scenario for him personally.
Regarding time, there are two options: quickly and gradually. It also matters: there is a “gold reserve” or not.
If you want fast, then you need the energy of money, you can’t do without it at all. Its partial absence can replace your monstrous inner fuse, your dream of great power and strength, which will help you move mountains, will move you forward, in spite of any difficulties. You will do almost everything yourself, spending time at work from morning to evening, forgetting to straighten up and look at the beauty that surrounds you.
So you can, but it’s better not to, there is a risk of quickly burning out. Better to play long!
What options does a “simple family” have? The term "simple family" means a family that does not have millions of capital and an established business that brings a stable good income.
Option 1. There is no capital, there is a husband who knows how to work with his hands and a desire to move to the land as soon as possible.
If you already have experience of living outside the urban environment, for example, in the countryside; If you are not afraid of the lack of comfortable living conditions and other difficulties, then you can move immediately. Live for the first time in a tent or change house.
Yes, it is possible, but it is hard, difficult and not for everyone. I'll clarify why.
In this case, the process for the initial arrangement of the estate will stretch for a long time. It will be necessary to go to work in order to earn money for living and for construction, and after work to have the strength and time to build the economy.
If you want to move and live in a tent for the first time while you build a house, then think a hundred, or better, a thousand times before doing this!
It must be remembered that when you go hiking in nature with a tent for a couple of days, in good weather this is one thing, but living in a tent for a long time, and even if you have a family with children, is completely different.
When summer is warm, the grass turns green, the sun shines, the birds sing, in general, beauty and the soul sing all around, then, of course, it is fun and joyful to live in camping conditions in nature, resting from the city.
But such good weather will not always be. Imagine that autumn is approaching, gloomy dull weather, it rains for a week, it’s damp and slushy, you get wet, and there’s really nowhere to dry your clothes, but you still need to cook food somehow and somewhere and do some things.
Feelings of life will be completely different. And besides, the house has not yet been completed, and it is not clear when it will be possible to move into it from the street. In such cases, family scandals, mutual reproaches very often begin, and a complete breakdown in relations occurs.
You should not risk your family and rush to move to the land without preparing conditions acceptable for your family.
But there are living examples of how people go through such temporary difficulties and settle down, settle down and begin to live on earth right away.
Therefore, if such a thought came, then it is better to first try such an extreme option on yourself, without leaving the life you are used to and without burning bridges behind you.
Because there are some very sad stories. Some, after reading books, having no idea about life outside the city, having fun at some seminar in one of the settlements, famously decide to move to virgin lands, having sold an apartment in the city and having no idea how they will earn money on their estate, which first need to somehow equip for life.
The earth can feed, but for this you need to be able to handle it.
Dreams are broken, illusions are dispelled, the reality turns out to be different (no, not bad, hard and difficult, you just weren't ready for it), people return to the city.
Option 2. There is a desire to move to the land, but there is no million-dollar capital. Nevertheless, you move to live "on the ground" immediately, but having previously prepared for this event.
If there is no stock, then you still need to try and save up a certain amount for the first time. So you will have the opportunity to calmly settle in a new place, without being distracted by earnings.
You will need money for 3, and preferably 5 years of life. During this time, you will calmly build up, come up with and launch your own business, your project, which will bring you income.
Calculate your household running costs, multiply by time, add construction costs and find out the amount you need to save. (It is clear that the cost of living in the city and in the countryside is different, but even an approximate calculation will give at least some guidelines).
There is an example of a couple who acted in a similar way, accumulating a reserve of necessary funds, and then moving to a settlement. you can read their story.
Option 3. If you don’t want to wait, save, your hands itch, and your legs dance with impatience, then it’s better to move gradually. Do not save money, but invest as much as possible in your estate, without living there permanently.
In my opinion, it is good if the selected piece of land is not very far from the place where you live at the moment. You constantly, as if in a piggy bank, invest in your estate all your free time, labor and material resources.
Master it step by step. In the process of creating an estate, there are many things that can be done without permanently living on the land.
We arrived for the weekend, planted part of the hedge - returned to the apartment, where there are conditions familiar to you and you can wash yourself with hot water and wash.
And planting a hedge is important, and doing it better in the first place. In order for the boundaries of your space to be marked not only somewhere on the map, but created by your hands with the help of living plants.
In our settlement, for example, people live long enough, but few have planted a full-fledged hedge. I myself have not fully planted it, then there is no time, then things are different, then one thing, then another, a lot of things need to be done, but my hands don’t reach the hedge or my legs don’t reach, I don’t know, but so far things are going on with the hedge So.
And you will come with a very specific, definite goal: to plant 20 bushes, for example, spirea. And it turns out faster and more efficiently, create something that many permanent residents of the estates cannot reach in any way.
If you already have children, then for me, so definitely, it is necessary to prepare a room for all-season living in advance.
Yes, equipping the estate in this way will take more time. But on the other hand, there will be no drastic change in your lifestyle, there will be no revolution and the discomfort associated with it.
It is better not to risk your family and your relationship with your half. Why do you quarrel because of the lack of acceptable living conditions?!
By the way, a lot will depend on the woman as the keeper of the harmony in the family. In the sense that she will need to learn not to nag her husband for the lack of something, but to morally support and inspire him.
Because a lot of things will need to be done, because we want in a very short time - in our one life, to create a grandiose creation - a self-sufficient Family Homestead.
This option of gradual land development and relocation is more comfortable, but has its drawbacks. For example, in your absence, thieves can drop in on your estate and steal everything that they liked.
It's good if you have neighbors, they can look after your household. But you really need to not delay the move at all, otherwise your neighbors may not like your summer resident style and the fact that you only come for the weekend.
Or maybe they miss you and want to see you more and more often; Yes, and joint, public affairs must be done, but it is difficult to count on you.
These are the options for moving to the land and creating an estate, I can outline ...
How did it happen for me
Why did I even decide to start creating my Family Homestead?
I was inspired to do this by the books of Vladimir Megre “Ringing Cedars of Russia”.
They say, and sometimes they also write that a real man must build a house, plant a tree and raise a son. A good plan of action, but very truncated and limited!
The fact that a man can actually do for his descendants is described in the books of V. Megre.
I will not go into details and try to make brief retelling content of books. I still cannot better than the author, to convey to the readers, in my humble opinion, a brilliant and grandiose idea about the need for each family to recreate their Family Homestead.
Whoever wants to, he will read and draw his own conclusions and his own judgments. It is better to get information from the original source, and not through an intermediary.
I, after reading the books, had an understanding that it makes no sense to complain about a hard life, bad government, and so on.
It is foolish to hope that someone for you and for you will suddenly change everything around for the better.
Instead of ranting about patriotism and love for the Motherland, it is better to take a very specific and material piece of land under your responsibility, and in this small Motherland, by your actions, create a beautiful Garden of Eden for your children and future descendants.
I began to explore our estate alone in 2009. I chose a place to create an estate in the settlement of the Milyonki Family Homesteads.
The settlement is located in the Dzerzhinsky district of the Kaluga region near the villages of Milenki, Luzhnoye, Potapovo, about 40 km. northwest of Kaluga and 25 km. from the regional center Kondrovo. It is located in an ecologically clean area and borders on the territory of the Ugra National Park.
It was lucky for me that the settlement is located an hour's drive from the village of Tovarkovo, where I was born, grew up and lived at that time. Therefore, I had the opportunity to gradually equip my plot of land.
The size of the estate is 1.98 hectares. At that time, the total entry fee amounted to about 90,000 rubles. (at the moment the entrance fee is 260,000 rubles)
Thus, for this money, I received a piece of land for the realization of all my dreams, plans and fantasies; I got the opportunity to start creating my own personal Garden of Eden.
He worked, came to the settlement for the weekend, went to subbotniks, built.
Subbotniks at that time were held very often in our country, they cut down a young forest, made clearings to create roads through the settlement.
My site is half overgrown with young forest. It was necessary to cut a road to enter the estate and clear a site for the house. Initially, I planned to make a change house measuring three by six meters.
Later, on the advice of neighbors, I decided to increase the living space, and I got a small house 4.5 by 6 meters, with an insulated attic - a bedroom. I will tell you more about how I built our house a little later.
He brought in building materials, made a foundation, laid the walls out of timber, the draft floor, and the roof. In this form, my structure stood for a long time. Here I made a mistake by not processing the walls in any way, as a result of which the wood burned out in the sun and turned gray. Later I installed windows and doors.
When it was built, I didn’t write down the expenses, but I can approximately say that I spent about 500,000 rubles on the house.
Since one was settling down, things progressed slowly - there was no one to rush me!
That's when I got married, then there was a wonderful incentive in the face of my beautiful wife. We almost immediately moved to permanent residence on the estate in a still unfinished house. They lived in it and completed it. It was inconvenient, but I really wanted to. We made an extension, spending about another 200,000 rubles.
We can say very lucky. Our parents, although not fully understanding our choice, still support us financially. My own sister also gave us quite good financial assistance.
Thanks to such support, we immediately ordered
After the wedding, the money received as a gift, we also directed to the improvement of the house and estate.
Now I am doing construction work. After work, I finish the house, continue clearing the territory overgrown with forest and do other necessary things for the development of the estate.
Since we recently had a daughter, my wife devotes almost all the time to her. In parallel with my work, I am studying how to make money on the Internet, gaining knowledge on how to earn money remotely.
I think that while still living in the city, it is best to get such a skill - knowledge that allows you to work remotely. Then it will be possible to earn money on the estate with the help of gray matter, and direct physical strength to work to create beauty in your estate.
It is naive to expect to immediately start earning on the estate in any craft!
In more detail about where and how I learn to earn money remotely, about the options for earning money on the estate, about the costs of construction and home improvement, I will gradually describe in the following articles on the blog.
If you have any questions, ask them in the comments, I will be glad to help and get to know you. I wish you a good day and see you in other articles on the blog!
