An isolated plot for more architectural freedom

All forms of houses are generally accepted (floor, L-shaped houses, unhooked, flat roofs, wooden houses…) The only constraints encountered being those of the PLU, buyers can thus collaborate with their builder to personalize their future home, according to their tastes, their needs and their budget. Whether you want a Modern House, traditional, or a more daring construction, the diffuse land allow you to escape the aesthetic constraints imposed by subdivisions and give free rein to your imagination.

Beautiful, quiet land
In the South West, isolated land is very varied and is located both in quiet areas and in urban areas.

Freely choose your living environment

The charm of a heterogeneous landscape

Many people are anxious about the idea of ​​a house in subdivision, identical to its neighbors and following perfectly parallel lines. Unlike the often overly planned and uniform subdivisions whose houses were all built at the same time, a diffuse terrain allows you to settle into an existing environment with its own character. Your future home will therefore have to fit harmoniously into this disparate landscape, possibly with reliefs and often the result of multiple transformations over time.

An isolated field or field not diffused in second line
An isolated plot of land, not subject to the regulations of a subdivision, offers greater architectural freedom in terms of the shape, materials and colours of the house.

Isolated land: fewer regulations and urban planning constraints

In general, subdivisions impose strict building regulations. These may include height constraints, restrictions on the materials to be used, or limits on the buildable surface area or even the colours of the façade or the nature of the gates. With a diffuse plot, the only constraints are often those of the Local Urban Plan (PLU) of the municipality. These do not authorize everything, but are generally more flexible than those of subdivisions. Future owners can thus design their house and its exterior fittings with more flexibility, without coming up against the limits imposed by strict specifications.

A more accessible investment

Diffuse land is often offered at a Lower price to that of a plot of land in a subdivision. In fact, the plots of land are often not serviced (connected to drinking water, electricity, sanitation, etc.), they may not be bounded and a soil study may be necessary to assess the nature of the soil. However, an informed and experienced builder such as Maisons Sic, will be able to help you limit the cost of these steps in order to devote your budget to the construction of your house.

Less Promiscuity

A secluded lot is often more private than a subdivision lot where houses are built close together.space between dwellings is also generally larger. Future owners have the freedom to choose a plot of land better suited to their budget and desires to create outdoor spaces better protected from noise and the gaze of neighbors. This is particularly appreciated by families or people looking for a quiet living environment, far from the daily hubbub.

Towards better long-term valuation

Investing in a diffuse land can also represent a great opportunity for asset enhancement. Unlike subdivision land, the value of which is often capped by the saturation of the local market, an isolated plot, particularly in developing areas, can experience a better long-term valuation. Scattered plots located near urban expansion areas or future development projects (road infrastructure, commercial areas, etc.) can thus see their value increase significantly over time and offer a capital gain interesting during a resale later.

 

Diffuse land offers many advantages for those who wish to build a detached house. With their great architectural freedom, their personalized living environment and their potential for development, they constitute an ideal option for future owners seeking to move away from the constraints of subdivisions. For a individual house builder, these plots of land are an opportunity to offer unique, tailor-made projects, adapted to the desires and needs of each client.
