The adventure of building a house begins with the land on which it is to stand. The search for a plot of land was a lengthy affair. It took almost two years. We first had the idea of buying a plot of land in Florida in 2013. We were back in Cape Coral for a long time and saw how one new house after another was being built. We also felt that our accommodation costs in the vacation home had been wasteful for a long time. On the other hand, at first glance there seemed to be an unimaginable amount of land for little money.
