How much will a Muscovite want to become a summer resident

Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev. On the terrace. 1906

The first dachas (by the way, this word is of very ancient origin and originally meant “gift”, that is, a piece of land granted by the tsar for special merits) appeared in the Moscow region in the second half of the 19th century. Already in 1888, according to official data, more than 6 thousand dachas were read around Moscow, which were located in 178 settlements and villages. At that time, the dacha was most often an ordinary village hut, without any household amenities. Almost all of the first dachas did not belong to the townspeople, but were rented for 20-25 rubles a month. Only the most affluent city dwellers could afford to build their own mansions, and the land was most often rented for up to 50 years.

It is worth remembering that at that time almost all dachas were located in the immediate vicinity of the capital – 10-30 kilometers from the city. And only a few decades later, the development of the railway led to the fact that the distances that summer residents were ready to leave from Moscow began to increase.

After the revolution, the situation did not change too much – the party leadership quickly appreciated all the advantages of living outside the city and state dacha villages began to appear in large numbers. Separate settlements for scientists, writers, labor shock workers – in such dachas, happy owners could live completely free of charge all year round, but after the head of the family lost his position, the dacha again passed to the state.

Social workers, state employees, disabled people, veterans and other preferential categories of residents of the capital have the priority right to summer cottages in gardening..

At that time there was also an opportunity to rent a room or a house, the price depended on the amenities and location – from a room in an ordinary rural house for 60 rubles to a two-story house with a balcony for 500 rubles.

Currently, Muscovites have three ways to become a summer resident:

1. Purchase of a finished house or land plot, where you can then build a cottage or set up a garden;
2. Renting a summer cottage, most often with a house;
3. Free receipt of a land plot, which theoretically can be claimed by all Muscovites.

The third way involves obtaining 10-12 acres of land within the framework of the collective gardening program. All residents of Moscow can join the queue by contacting the prefecture or district council, but it is worth remembering that it will take several years to wait for a free land plot; social workers, state employees, disabled people, veterans and other privileged categories of residents of the capital have the priority right to summer cottages in gardening..

Another significant disadvantage is that everyone standing in line for a free land plot can receive land only at a distance of at least 100 kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road, and, possibly, 150-160 kilometers, since there are practically no free plots for gardening in the vicinity of the capital. left.

And one more nuance – in fact, a free summer cottage in a gardening partnership can cost a round sum, because you will have to pay from your pocket for arranging the site and reissuing documents.

So, from 30 to 200 thousand rubles it will cost to re-register the site in the partnership, in addition, you will have to make monthly payments from 7 to 20 thousand rubles as contributions for the arrangement of the inner territory of gardening.

And the last, but very important condition – a free summer cottage plot received by a Muscovite in horticulture can be selected if the new summer resident does not put the plot in order within 3 years. That is, having received land from the authorities, it is imperative to be engaged in its improvement, otherwise you can be left without the desired place for a country vacation.

Renting a summer cottage is a good way out for those who do not have the opportunity to purchase their own land plot or summer cottage, do not want to stand in line for years and would like to live in nature in the summer. Prices for renting a summer cottage plot with a residential building vary greatly and depend not only on the condition of the land, distance from Moscow, but also on the availability of a residential building on the site, developed infrastructure in the area (for example, a nearby supermarket can significantly raise the cost of renting a summer cottage), as well as such nuances as the presence of a reservoir, a forest, reliable neighbors.

So, an ordinary plot of 9 acres with a house of 140 square meters in the Kiev direction, 20 kilometers from Moscow, can be rented for 60 thousand rubles per month. A wooden house in Rassudovo (42 kilometers from Moscow) with a plot of 6 acres will cost only 35 thousand rubles a month, but cottages with an area of ​​more than 200 meters are rented at prices from 100 to 300 thousand rubles a month, and often outside depending on the distance to Moscow. This is quite understandable – the owners are trying to recoup the cost of building a large house and arranging a backyard territory..

And finally – buying a summer cottage. This is undoubtedly the most expensive way to become the owner of a summer cottage, however, it allows you to become the owner of the land in the shortest possible time..

The land market of the Moscow region is currently experiencing a wide range of prices. A summer cottage with an area of ​​10 acres in a garden partnership, located 120 kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road in the Minsk direction, will cost 750 thousand rubles, but in this case you will have to follow all the rules of gardening.

There are currently more than 30 million summer cottages in the country, a large part of them are located in the Moscow region.

A land plot 115 kilometers from the capital in the western direction can cost only 15 thousand rubles, but in this case one cannot dream of any communications and infrastructure. A plot of land along the Simferopol highway (55 kilometers from Moscow), with an area of ​​15 acres, will cost more than 2 million rubles. And this is not the highest price for land in the Moscow region.

Traditionally, the most expensive land plots are located in the western direction – on Novorizhskoye and Rublevskoye highways. Here the price of a plot of land with an area of ​​20 to 50 acres can exceed 50 million rubles.

If we talk about the average cost of a land plot in the Moscow region, then at present its size is about 155 thousand rubles per hundred square meters, but, of course, such a generalization does not give a complete picture of the market, because the price of a land plot varies very much and depends on many factors.

According to the All-Russian public organization “Gardeners of Russia”, there are currently more than 30 million summer cottages in the country, a large part of them are located in the Moscow region, and those wishing to acquire their own land are not decreasing.

Among the problems faced by gardening are the presence of abandoned summer cottages, lack of transport links, poorly developed infrastructure, problems with garbage disposal, as well as an imperfect legislative framework, which causes more than 90% of summer residents to face difficulties in obtaining land rights.

In addition, when purchasing a land plot in the Moscow region, future summer residents should remember about the law “On horticultural, vegetable gardening and suburban non-profit associations of citizens”, changes to which came into force on January 1 of this year. Now on agricultural land – garden and vegetable garden plots – the owners do not have the right to build residential buildings. The maximum that the owners of such land taken out of the settlements can afford is a temporary shed for storing agricultural implements.

So, when purchasing a land plot, you need to immediately find out what category of land it belongs to, because you can build a residential building only on plots referred to the territory of settlements. For the legal registration of such a transfer, land owners will have to pay a considerable amount of money, and it can take quite a lot of time. The cost of one hundred square meters of land when transferring from the category of agricultural land to the boundaries of settlements may increase by at least 5 thousand dollars.

A summer cottage in the Moscow region continues to be a “blue dream” of almost every Muscovite, but there are enough difficulties on the way to achieving this goal and the high cost of land is only one of them..
