Typical Russian Country House

[@GG-NYS]

I don’t understand the people with the negative comments… I live in upstate NY and many people have build this type of home or even expanded a large shed in order to have a lakeside camp. My husband and his friends have put in bathrooms and small kitchens in a couple of weekends and using Home Depot, off the shelf cabinets and fixtures keeps cost way down (and none of them are carpenters in their day jobs). Under $20-$30,000 and you have a nice little get away spot.

[@dollyhorton2579]

Sometimes people are just assholes. I agree, these are nice homes and good options for people who don't have a lot of money but want a sturdy, safe home.

[@bondmood]

They must live in Bel Air, CA.

[@elizabethbogard7568]

You two look really good! Happy, healthy & wise! I enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting!🥰

[@judy-dr4de]

Hope you guys are doing ok there. They have showing so real scary things that is going on there. God Bless you and your family....

[@pepper_Chill]

The last little Cabin,would be a perfect for doing your crafts....

[@rubylaros7949]

Two beds and one bath downstairs, nice big kitchen/livingroom upstairs! perfect!

[@getreal2977]

An interesting house design. My only thing which popped right into my mind is about the staircase. The upper level has much space. But I wonder how you want to get large objects like a King sized bed upstairs? Thanks again for another nice video. And some ear rubs for good old Sheffie. :)

[@Jerseygirl2160]

Have loved watching you two for a few years now and continue to enjoy the two of you. ❤️

[@1wolfpup]

That first house was nice. Thanks for taking us along. God bless.

[@charliecharlie7898]

I agree with Alex about the windows in the last house shown. They were too large. Also in the 6x6 house I think the stairway window should have been higher. The one stair tread was cut into the window trim. Loved the price and thanks for the tour. I really enjoyed it.

[@SteveMikre44]

Thank you for filming these model dacha homes again. It's a lot of fun to walk through and look around...😊🙏

[@gunnandersen7412]

A mini kitchen is also possible. Fire security as well in the entrance room. New small houses are expensive.

[@janicewhitby6623]

Yet, cheaper than maintaining a big mansion,

[@smc130]

I have to say I do like these small houses. The first was my favorite.

[@irmavalkeapaa5928]

Kiitos,👍👍❤❤🌺🌺

[@janamathis4729]

Alex has such an endearing smile😊

[@gunnandersen7412]

Possible to have two small houses, and a reading room or a relaxing room extra. One floor for both houses. If you have guests. Like the idea two windows on one wall only.

[@elizabethturel78]

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing👍🏻

[@-TheOracle-]

Wonderful dacha village.

[@mariemorgan7759]

Love the yellow dacha, looks like a tiny home community.

[@carolynsilvers9999]

I love the yellow house. I could be comfortable in it.❤

[@elizabethbogard7568]

It'd be good for you and Sheffield to live in a house rather the apartment. I hope you can. Alex is an excellent builder!

[@dwtboc]

I know most dacha’s are for summer use, but when you do the plumbing, do you also install any central heating in the house?

[@amyfreedomluvr5277]

Thank you, Valeria and Alex! I found your channel after your previous videos on country houses, so this was very informative. I liked that first little house, too. It's an interesting concept to sell just the shell of the house and then have the buyer be responsible for the electricity and plumbing and all once the house is in place. I hope you find your barn!

[@wendysherbert3257]

Hi from the USA…you should look up Cabins for sale in the USA! We have an area called The Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee..they have lots of cabins for sale!

[@katherineafzal2315]

I would like to see a bigger home. I am not sure if you ever did. Was the blue house the same size as the yellow one? Do people typically add a full kitchen and full bathroom to their Dacha homes? 😊

[@eevee_themeanie5883]

Tell Mr. Sheffield Hi 😊

[@frankintx699]

I could live comfortablly in the 40 sq. meter house. Thanks Valeria and Alex.❤❤

[@Titonka447]

We heard about the fire in Fryazino.

[@bondmood]

What happened?

[@spitfirered]

Thank you for the tour of the homes being built for the Dacha's, one thing I noticed is there are no closets for clothes, lines, that's why you are building a cabinet at your dacha, so they build them simple for people to afford and then they fix up, they are cute but no stairs for me, have a great weekend you two, see you again and what you are up to, Wendy

[@bondmood]

Missing your videos. Hope all is ok. ❤

[@carolynsilvers9999]

How is this house heated in winter?

[@aliciaseecharan]

The 6x4 house scared me. The front door area isn’t inviting. Also, no kitchen. That window sill vibe for fresh bread and pie is missing. Gingham curtains and tablecloths would clutter that size house. Great exhibition video 😎🙏💕

[@MarshaMarsha885]

No outlets ?

Does this company have a website?

[@happinesshappens6631]

It’s like living in a story book house! So charming and lovely!

Another good one, Guys.

[@sashamirzayans8465]

Nice homes, but they can put a tiny balcony on 2nd floor

[@esterherschkovich6499]

Спасибо ❤

[@Roy_Gaber]

Very nice, thank you Valeria and Alex. That last small place would make a nice mini barn (small shed) if the windows were removed.

[@Elizabeth-aka-Pippi]

My favorite type of video!

[@lindaSee89]

I saw these mini homes a while back from another creator.

[@67NewEngland]

- So did Alex find out a price on having the barn built for him? I could be happy with one of those little houses place out on Cape Cod. 😊 thanks for the nice video Valeria.

[@louisajh]

The first one is nice.. where would the lounge room go?

[@frankintx699]

Possibly its combined with the kitchen with the large room.

[@mburnett3060]

@@frankintx699that’s what I was thinking.

[@IThinkNot62]

I like that house!

In America, we have alot of those, we call them tiny houses, and there are tiny house villages, very practical! ❤❤👍

Dacha is summer why jackets?

[@nancycatania7763]

Nice homes!

[@paulj2948]

The ground floor should be one open space and living area with a kitchen and counter.

[@junglesuperstar9270]

Open space is not popular in Russia . You of course can opt for this if you want

[@paulj2948]

@@junglesuperstar9270 I see that even in New Russian apartments. Same soviet commie block design and floor plan. Washing machine in bathroom and tiny kitchen! This is very strange to Americans.

[@junglesuperstar9270]

@@paulj2948yes, cause it is a convenient floor planning. And yes, having a washing machine in a bathroom is convenient from many points of view. And size of a kitchen depends on a floor planning . Typcally for 2-3 room apartments kitchen is big.

[@igorrsokolov7948]

Привет Валерия. Домик вышел на славу.

[@GloriaHoulihan]

No sitting room? Where do you sit to relax in the evening? The first house looks like itDutch Colonial architecture. It's unusual to see a house for sale with no lavatory or kitchen. I agree with Alex in the green house.

[@strawberryhaze8836]

Because Dacha is usually not your primary residence. It is not a house you live in. People buy these houses for the property they have outside of the city.

[@StevefromOhio1972]

I liked the yellow house.

[@WoodyWilliams]

How did you come across that Henry J Kaiser Convention Center shirt?

[@judyhoffer7976]

You guys look great beautiful couple

[@numberoneduchess]

What you call a barbeque house, we call an outdoor kitchen in the US. They are usually built outside on the patio. Do people ever use solar panels on houses there? I have never seen them in any Russian videos.

[@genagena3876]

Solar panels are not effective in the Moscow region. Here the weather is more often cloudy, during which energy production capacity drops six times. Very expensive and ineffective.

[@rbspider]

They are currently building two towers in LA for some homeless people and the price per unit will cost taxpayers $600,000 dollars, total cost $165,000,000 dollars. That's 165 million US dollars. When you are not spending your own money you don't care about the price.

[@darrelhoyt4205]

That's why they need to build out near Needles or between Vegas and Bakersfield

[@rbspider]

@@darrelhoyt4205 Another reason to build where you say. When the Vietnam guys were returning it was thought that they would be all addicted to the drugs they used overseas , most didn't take up drugs once in the states. By changing environment it changed their habits .

[@mapesdhs597]

How much was the smaller 6x4m house? Also, taking the 6x6m property as an example, with its $23K cost, how much extra cost would then doing all the electrics, plumbing, etc. typically add to the total? In other words, especially for the novice buyer, is it all too easy to buy what may seem like a good value property, only to then have to spend rather a lot later to add all the elements that are missing? Very interesting about the 50 fifty square meter property tax cutoff. If a place was, say, 60 sq. m, how much would the tax be per year, for where you are in Moscow region? And thus, what would the saving be over the typical duration of owning and using such a place? I wondered to what extent the property tax saving would really influence a final decision, ie. is the saving large or small?

[@junglesuperstar9270]

It would not influence that much .

[@andrewcampbell7476]

Alex give us a thumbs up instead of that poncey wave

[@ohnobugohnobug1435]

👍 ☺ (Alex)

[@edwardchesser8133]

I am curious about the rules of dacha communities in Russia. Can one live in their dacha full time? What I call "my dacha" in the USA is really just a smaller house in a more rural community. I can live in it all the time if I want and have the same liabilities as my regular house. I do have problems with electricity my rural community in the USA. The Russian dacha houses seem to be the same price we pay at Home Depot in the USA. The development costs are very expensive though. It would cost an American at least $150,00 to set up a dacha after all the fees and development costs are considered. I like Russia's fifty square meter rule on taxes. I wish that was true in California :) Both houses you showed remind me of my father in law's house in Japan.

[@meridithkish2076]

I always love your videos! Did Alex find out about the barn? Are you buying one?

[@unabhangigenachrichtensh7296]

Now I know for sure: I absolutely dont want to live there.

[@susanmillhorn4677]

Could you take one the small houses and connect to your duches?

[@kevinerose]

Thanks for showing the country house. I have seen several videos of Americans and Canadiens and also Australians moving to Russia. Do you know of Americans moving in close to where you are? 8:00 Yes, I have seen some other reviews where they just make the house as a shell without plumbing and electric. Then you get that separately as I understand. It is good to know that when pricing homes. 9:30 Some places in America they also do rolling "blackouts" and they will try to do that night hopefully but not always works that way. 10:50 I think the word you are looking for is "foundation" or in this case concrete/brick piling foundation. 12:30 In America, some people are paying lots and lots for "tiny" homes. Because they don't like us building small houses to live in. 15:00 This one is like a yard barn in America. That may be $5000 for a large yard barn like that. Some people do try to get them to live in but they have to be put on their parents' property only.

[@Dan-gujii]

I couldn't give you a thumbs-up because ever since you mentioned the price on the first one, it would figure not to be that unreasonable to expect the other two prices😊

[@thedappercook]

Ive got a goal to buy an apartment and a dacha in Russia. I will make it happen.

[@rachelsirett8809]

Need a bathroom and toilet

There are devastating forest fires where I live, so a wooden house is not acceptable. I am thinking that a yurt would more practical as It can be packed up during the dry months.

[@tanyaroberson9629]

I would have to have a toilet in upstairs bedroom because i would not want to have to pee in the middle of the night and go down stairs to get to the bathroom.
