For a long time the notion of suburban real estate in the majority of Moscow residents was associated with the allocated during the Soviet times the standard plots and house size 5x6 m. Appeared recently cottage settlements satisfy the demand for more spacious suburban homes. With the advent of buyers that can not only buy, but also contain its own estate, the demand for large, more than a hectare, plots rapidly increased. `This is most likely associated with the ability to recreate the old ancient Russian tradition - believed Taras Nechiporenko, CEO of Farm House, - when great importance was attached to the continuity of generations, and some kind of stability, permanence, which guaranteed the land and the family home. After all, the main purpose of modern domestic estate - to be `nest 'for future generations'. 'Often in such tenure has its own stables, and someone acquires even a whole farm, consisting of large and small ruminants and poultry. As a rule, is located nearby hunting, - adds PR-director Natalia Kurashova. - Often customers who purchase large tracts of land far away from civilization, already has real estate for permanent residence - including houses in prestigious areas of the nearest suburbs. And here they prefer to come to the weekend a big group to hunt or fish `.

Large piece of land is bought, as a rule, not at the closest distance from the Moscow Ring Road and is used mainly for the construction of the villa. `Land near Moscow is expensive, so buyers are interested, above all, a balanced proposal, there are sites on 20-30 hectare in organized cottage communities, with communications and contracts for construction or ready-made houses - Potkina commented Anna, an analyst with the department projects . - But there is a category of customers who, having a house in the cottage within 15-20 km from Moscow, would like to purchase a distant cottage, ranch, farm with a spacious plot in a picturesque corner. The main criteria in this case are not transport accessibility and infrastructure, and the unique ecology, scenic landscape, relict forest, the proximity of the reservoir '. Consumers of estates projects, according to Roman Ryzhkov, head of the country real estate of the CC, are the people who already have experience of living outside the city and concluded that the 20 hectare for a country house - it's a bit cramped. Potential customers are those people who are not tied to a rigid schedule visits to Moscow.

Demand and Supply

According to the company Blackwood, to date the demand for large tracts increased in comparison with the beginning of the year - 31% to 18%. `The results of the auction to sell plots of land ranging in size from 1 hectare, held recently in the` Bay `Bunin, show that these projects are in demand, which in the near future is likely to maintain positive momentum '- finds Roman Ryzhkov. `Recently, growing popularity of large portions of a large distance from Moscow - 100-400 km from Moscow - confirms Natalia Kurashova. - The area of these plots may be up to 8-10 ha `.

Buyer, besides the ability to realize the dream of a real country life, attracts, and the relative availability of such a proposal - due to its great distance from the capital. `On the plots up to 3 hectares now seeing strong demand, because such areas typically do not require high capital investment, - notes Jeanne Shcherbakova, director of the Department of suburban real estate company` Miel Real Estate '. - They are suitable for the construction of `here and now ', and usually already have a nearby accessible communication`. If this cottage villages, then, as a rule, they represent a fairly attractive projects: there is no shortage of land, and the competition tougher. The success of the project `suburban 'de luxe, as claimed by Felix Leshchenko, suburban real estate consultant company Kirsanova Realty, is necessary, firstly, a suitable land for settlement - with interesting terrain and scenic beauty, water -` big `or` low `, comfortable route, and secondly, a robust concept of the village - as this fabulous site better `beat`.

Of particular interest are projects with a good organization of leisure and recreation (fishing, hunting, tourism, rental equipment, etc.). The economy of such a project could allow developers to sell land large areas.

In the secondary market can be found lands, and not far from Moscow. But to afford such a purchase can not everyone. The demand is much higher than supply. `Anyone who would like to buy himself a plot for a permanent residence - said Felix Leshchenko - faced with the harsh realities of the market, namely the cost of land. From the owners of such land parcels have an understanding of their proposal shtuchnosti `. Prices may be so high that, according to experts, negotiations between the seller and buyer are difficult, sometimes deals fall apart because of fundamental differences between the two sides.

Where to buy property

At the same time, market towns with large areas yet to be finalized. Basically it contains proposals to 1 ha, but right now there are projects with the site exceeds this threshold. Their active development, according to Svetlana Kondachkovoy, head of the country real estate `MIAN - real estate agency 'is in the remote areas in the zone of water bodies (Konakovo, Zavidovo), as well as in coastal areas such as suburban reservoirs Ruzskoe, Ozerninskoe, Mozhaiskoe. It also has large holdings of land in areas of the rivers Oka, Nara (Serpukhov District, Kaluga region). In the Ruza district GC `Vash financial trustee` developer implements the `Ruzskaya Switzerland`. In its framework now started selling plots of land in the estate complex `Bay` Bunin Ozerninskogo on the shore of the reservoir. It offers 56 allotments ranging from 1 to 3 hectares.

In addition, the multifunctional recreation complex Bunin `121` will farmstead with land size from 1 to 1.5 hectares. Recreation Complex Akatova ``, also included in the project involves 190 estates with an average allotment of 1.5 hectares.

`Lots of more than 1 ha are in larger towns and business class, particularly in towns such as` Greenfield `,` Княжье Lake `, - says Anna Potkina. - But in general it is more the exception than the rule, as a unified concept assumes more or less standard cutting and compliance with master plan '. Extensive holdings are in the villages RODEX GROUP - `Pine Bank`, `Lighthouse` (new projects Mozhaiskom reservoir), `Rancho 'with sections 4 to 6 hectares. `In the near future is planned resumption of sales in the village of` Falconry `, suspended for the transfer of land to another category - said Maria Litinetckii, Head of suburban real estate at Blackwood. - Before the suspension of sales it was possible to buy plots from 0,5 up to 2 hectares.

The biggest project on the market is `name` Valley. It consists of three complexes with a total area of 688 hectares. Proposed sites from 1 to 5 hectares for the price from $ 700 up to 2500 sq.m. `. Taras Nechiporenko adds to the list of municipalities Istra `estate 'and` Nikolskaya Sloboda `. Large ownership, of course, be claimed in the large-scale project `Rublevo-Arkhangelskoe`. In addition, there is always the possibility of combining sites in the villages, where land is sold without a contract.

Size is the appointment

Large areas - it is usually land peasant farming, in which the owner is obliged to carry out any economic activity, maintain records on them and provide the results to the relevant authorities. Therefore, before selling to an individual trying to land conversion from agricultural to the category IZHS. This is a protracted, complex and expensive process. Must also obtain the necessary approvals in respect of environmental and environmental standards, registration permits, taking into account the terrain, topography, etc. When you buy a lot the buyer must determine whether the observed all the formalities, checking all the documents on the ground. If the object is prepared to sell high quality and it summed up the communication, the owner of problems with its operation should arise.

Forest, located on the site, you can get into ownership or rent. The first option is not always possible, usually select the latter. For this purpose, as described Jeanne Shcherbakova, you first need to become the owner of the territory adjacent to the forest. Then the state forest lands in `competition`.

`Forest area - said the expert - are leased to sporting and recreational purposes for 49-99 years with encumbrance (capital construction is prohibited by cutting regulations, but actually prohibited). This option is acceptable to developers, who are going to create a sanitary, recreational or sports area for future residents of the village. `Forest` auctions in Moscow region are conducted sporadically, their procedure was not perfected, tariffs `` `swim. For individuals, according to Mary Litinetckii, rent forest is made on a specially created for this legal entity. The further sale of the land lease rights is not to assign, but simply changes the owner of this fictitious company, and the right to lease transferred to him. This is done because of the complexity of the conveyancing process to the individual.

Not only the forest, but also any land area may be burdened by a ban on the construction of such protection zone of pipelines, power grids, water protection zone, the zone of underground cavities, etc.

Buying more than 1 hectare of land, the buyer must be prepared to ensure that all the costs of the site was going to have an order of magnitude higher than that of the owner of, say, 20 hectare of land. Security, cleaning of territory will cost considerable money. The cost of landscaping will also automatically increase, not to mention the content of many in the vast area of small architectural forms - arbors, arches, sculptures, and various water-related items - fountains, artificial rivers and ponds, swimming pools, which require constant monitoring and care.

And the last. If the buyer's estate trusts that lost in their own forests, fields and rivers, he can do whatever he wants, he might miscalculate - not everything is allowed, is not everywhere and always. According to Felix Leshchenko, in most towns with large sections of the same rules and restrictions for residents, as in conventional. The contract with the owners present items that do not allow to build fences above a specified height, delaying construction (often provided for penalties), and in some villages there are specific restrictions: it is forbidden to drive in a sports car, let in the village of personal armed guard to keep certain animals - such as Rottweilers or dogs the size of a Yorkshire, so they do not spook the deer, which are contained in the park area, etc. Before making a decision about buying real estate in such a project should be studied carefully with a set of rules. And then everyone decides for itself - it suits him or not.
