You have to figure out how much you will spend for demolition and clearing of the crap and materials to rebuild. You just cants say such stupid stuff without knowing if you are going to lose money.

that is why that land is so cheap. Most probably it is for summer usage only. However on some dachas people prefer to live in a winter - so they combine together to hire a snow cleaner after each snow to clean the road. Goverment has no responsibility for dacha type of land and it makes it so cheap. Village land plot usually much expensive, because goverment has to build roads and all other infrastructure.
