Hello dear people,
I want to find a plot and build a house for myself somewhere near the ocean. Maybe 80-100 sq.m. made of bamboo(if it's an option otherwise wood) and some stone/brick parts. I would like if it could be completely self-sufficient in terms of electricity and water. Has someone done something similar? How doable is it? How much would it approximately cost?
Thanks in advance

<<As a foreigner you can only buy lease hold plots.>>
Not only that, the plot must be for residential use.
I'd avoid Bamboo as it will be eaten by insects and isn't particularly secure for you. Wood, you can have treated, but if not done properly, it will also be eaten. Building is very costly drilling a borehole (if feasible) is also costly. Unfortunately, I cant put a figure on it as it is some years ago when. we substantially extended our house. We built with cement free interlocking blocks, which saved some cost, but we ended up spending several million on it.
If you want solar, the best place for it is on the roof, so give careful thought about the roof construction as you don't want to be removing the solar panels to replace the roof unnecessarily
@tamba lamba Hey Hi Tamba I know someone who displayed a bamboo house in one of the groups that am in I will ask.
About the land it will depend on location diani I have a few freinds at the coast I will ask ten let you know.Wishing you the best with this will get back to you as soon as I can it's an interesting venture
