If on a budget I would recommend a minimum of a 1/2 acre but is doable on 1/3 acre depending on where the house was plotted on the lot. Vision adding to the front or rear of it. Typical building setback codes are 20' from the front, 15' from the rear, and 5-10' side set back. Try and find something that leaves you enough room to park a trailor on the side of it or has "RV Parking". This could also act as a drive through to your possible future detached garage.
Good luck and hope this info helped .
But it's always cheaper to buy something already built... albeit hard to find sometimes.
