Cottage is happiness for a Russian person.This is a separate phenomenon of all Russian culture itself, to which dozens of scientific monographs are devoted, a cognitive article in Wikipedia, and even a separate word in English is highlighted. Cottage is the place where with great pleasure three family generations can gather at once. It remains only to figure out what makes a cottage different from other buildings and why a man needs it at all.
The very first cottages in Russia appeared even inthe reign of Peter I. Then the definition of this term gave the word "give". In the 18th century, so-called plots of land with small estates were designated - these were places where state rulers could take a break from court life, relax, and feel like a simple person.
So what makes a cottage different from a wooden housein the village? Residents of cities dream of a country house, where you can relax with the whole family, enjoy the purity of fresh air and simple pleasures of life. In turn, those who already have a country house, build the so-called distant cottage - a place where you can do things unusual for ordinary life. Only here a miner can grow different varieties of cucumbers, and the minister - to collect the Colorado potato beetle.
From about the middle of the 19th century, summer cottage fashionbecoming more popular. It was at this time that aristocrats began to actively build and rent out territories with manors and family estates. These places were called “master's dachas”. Old buildings as well as idle parts of the imperial palaces were often used as rental premises.
Gatchina, Peterhof and Pavlovsk - oldPetersburg suburbs - and now are the most popular holiday destinations. Land in these regions costs a lot, and there are many reasons for this. By the way, even in the city land was worth decent money. The cost is influenced by several factors at once - in many respects it depends on climatic and geographical features. If Peterhof often hayali for an unfavorable climate, then Gatchina was a real resort for the Russian soul.
By the way, in those days the so-calledguide for those who could not decide on a place to rest. The author of the 1992 book was V. Simansky, who singled out Klyazma, Pushkino, Mamontovka, and also Abramtzevo and other suburbs among the most popular destinations.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov gave a good definition of a dacha:"Neither plow nor sow, but only live for your pleasure, live only in order to breathe fresh air." Photo cottages is the best evidence of this.
Sunday breakfasts, light dresses, wickerfurniture, spacious terraces, gooseberry bushes, walks on summer evenings, a river and carefree pastime - how can something be better than such a holiday? The real standard of the Russian dacha was formed closer to the XX century. It has already happened that country houses were very popular in the warm season. It is for this reason that spacious verandas, large windows with stained glass, as well as all kinds of balconies are integral attributes of country houses. Of course, they were of little use for winter recreation, but they created an incredible feeling of closeness to nature.
Today, a dacha is a separate life and epoch.The lucky owner of suburban real estate can use it in different ways. For some, this is a place for a summer holiday, where you can get together as a family and invite friends. Someone uses it to grow cucumbers and tomatoes. And for some, this is the perfect place to spend time in Chekhov's style. For many, the best cottage is the place where you can truly enjoy the peace and tranquility, be alone with yourself and take a break from the city rush.
Currently, no one is limitedthe size of buildings and homestead territory. However, there is an unspoken rule - a real cottage can not be huge and modern. Otherwise it will be the same apartment located outside the city limits.
In a review, many gardeners say they prefer old wooden houses. It is with great pleasure that abandoned plots and buildings are bought up.
Today to build a cottage with your own hands is easy.It is enough to find an old house that is still suitable for living in it, make small repairs and come with the whole family for general cleaning of the territory, which can be finished by sitting around the campfire. To all this was possible, you need to issue ownership of a particular property. This means that you need to buy a cottage.
In the legal practice of such a thing as givingdoes not exist. But there are two other real estate objects: a land plot and a residential (or non-residential) building. For the purchase will have to issue ownership of these two objects.
В настоящее время дачная недвижимость условно allocated in a separate category. The cost of a cozy house in the lap of nature depends on its location, the size of the surrounding area, the state of the building itself. Oddly enough, the distance to the water (river or lake) also affects the formation of the final cost. So, summer houses in areas characterized by picturesque landscapes and cleanliness will cost a little more than land plots located near the city.
Everyone has their own concept of dacha idyll.Someone quite comfortably lives in the so-called creative chaos, someone appreciates space and a large amount of light, and someone just enjoys life away from the city.
What are the most attractive cottages?Most likely, those from which literally blows home warmth and comfort. So, for example, in the suburban summer residence of Peredelkino, the house of Boris Pasternak, the famous poet and Nobel laureate, is still preserved.
